I'm not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend me. Certain women particularly older women cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do.
If I'm with a man is that going to prevent me from achieving my goal? What sacrifices will I have to make in terms of being myself if I'm with a man?

The rich are different. Their wants are very high maintenance. They'll pick eye color and hair color all the way down to what she does for a living what school she went to. Their list can be extremely long. But at the end of the day dating is dating because they're human beings.
