Where to Meet Rich Men in Lagos

Happy weekend everyone. Okay ladies. Let's get real for a second here. When we are looking for a partner, one of the prerequisites is, does he have a little fat cash in the bank? Yeah yeah, I hear the ones who say love conquers all. While I absolutely agree to disagree, the glaring truth remains "shebi you wan chop love?". It's great to fall dangerously in love but when that love doesn't bring anything else to the table, and when reality hits, it never is pretty! If you doubt me, Try dating a broke guy for 6 months and give me feedback. 

This is no time for judgments! Keep 'em in the 80s where they belong.

Nowadays, needs have become so primary that you can't afford to write off a fat cheque even if you make a buck yourself.  Afterall,  aren't women meant to play the supportive role? That only means that we get to share resources with our partners.  

Note keyword SHARE. 

So if you're not born with the ultimate silver spoon which automatically guarantees a rich husband in most cases and are wondering where and how to get hold of Mr. Fat Cheque, here's your chance.  You will need to up your game though, because believe me,  the competition is steep. The girls are out for a witchhunt. Join the league and become a winner. 

Here's how:

Update your wardrobe
Forget the catwoman costume and barely there outfits.  Remember,  you are hunting powerful men now, and your goal is not to become a mistress. Your eye is on the Madam cash price. Invest in clothes that show off your curves but still cover the right areas.  Best believe that these classic sorts are usually gentlemen and their families are keen on how presentable you are. Take good care of your skin. Get a mani-pedi. Hit the spa at least quarterly. 

Enrol for Etiquette classes

The way you carry yourself,  to how you handle a glass of red or white wine is all taken into account with these class of men. Learn how to walk without slouching,  learn how to use your cutlery right and make conversation on the table.

Don't Fake but Learn an accent

Faking an accent is a sure way to get caught. Rather, learn an accent. If it's British you are gunning for, you might have to constantly watch BBC news.  I recommend binge watching the movie 'Wild Child' starring Emma Roberts.  Another good one is the British TV show 'MISFITS'.  If it's American,  it's easy, stick with E News and the Kardashians for that sultry Carli vibe. Practice the accent in front of your mirror.  If you are ever asked on how you got the accent,  honestly say you learnt it. You've automatically scored some points.

Mobility is a necessity

Invest in a neat car that can take you around town. If you can't afford a car, arrange with a private car rental company.  There's several of them in Lagos. Don't go to any event soaked in sweat.

Attend concerts
Forget going to the movies.  You only tend to meet folks who are generally hooked and taking PDA a new name. Look out for concerts,  opera houses, theatres where the classy people go. If you have to enrol or register to become a member,  do it. It's an investment that will pay off in the end. In Lagos,  places to watch out for is the Muson Centre,  Bogobiri House, any jazz fest.

Make art your new obsession
Art is a part of easy living. You don't have to particularly understand the arts to enjoy it.  Find out dates for exhibitions and attend. These events are usually free so you have absolutely nothing to lose. If you live in Lagos, keep tabs on Nike Art Gallery,  Quintessence,  TerraKulture, Eko Hotels and Suites as they tend to organise one art exhibition or the other. 

Join a gym
Yip, it's beneficial to you in more ways than one to become a member of a high end gym. You are not only keeping fit and healthy but will sure meet the equally fit and loaded guy who might just take you to the moon.

Become a member of club

By clubs, I don't mean being a regular at Quilox or Escape or Mega Plaza roof tops,  at this point in your adult life,  night crawling shouldn't be your thing. Remember,  your primary goal now is to hitch Mr. Fat Cheque.  The clubs I am talking about is the Lagos Boat Club,  The Polo Club, Ikoyi Club, Tennis Club, Rotary club, and the likes.  Old money lives in those walls. Go get 'em.

Fly Business Class
When you travel, skip the regular route and up your game.  Fly in style. Chances are you will meet a brilliant young millionaire.  In this case though, your intellect  and excellent communication skills will speak for you. And that requires becoming an avid reader. Becomes if Mr. Fat Cheque brainiac millionaire finds you shallow,  he will be disinterested from the get go or worse yet, you become a mere booty call.

Visit Sport centres
Join a Squash team, Tennis club. Go to a Sports viewing centre on days when top teams in EPL's playing.

Get a standing reservation in a very classy restaurant
This one's almost overused and abused,  so take into account the sort of restaurant you want to go to. If it's a roof top restaurant at Intercontinental, Sheraton or Oriental,  book well in advance,  that way, you will have little or no trouble with security.

Be responsible for your own needs
While you are hunting,  do not make the mistake of embarrassing yourself by sitting alone on a table and not ordering a meal for yourself.  It stands you out as a hunter.  Love yourself enough to spoil yourself with a glass of house wine, meal,  because whoever is watching knows just what he's getting into.

It's actually easy to meet the tall, rich dark and handsome guy.  You just have to spend some to get some.  Consider it a long-term investment. Be confident, outgoing,  witty,  courteous, open-minded and sophisticated,  and you will get Mr.Fat Cheque to say I do sooner rather than later.

Catch up soon,
