Cosmopolitan: Snag yourself a rich boy


Oh Cosmo, did you really have to go there? Their latest online is about how to find and appeal to a rich man:

Landing a loaded guy has long been a fantasy for some females. In fact, your own mother may have even quipped that it’s just as easy to fall for a wealthy man as it is a poor one. And high-income dudes (those earning $104,000 and up, as defined by the Tax Foundation Group in Washington, DC) are on our radar even more thanks to such shows as The Hills, Gossip Girl, and The Millionaire Matchmaker.

This includes tips like “They Have Gold-Digger Radar,” “They Feel Entitled to Arm Candy,” “But They Don’t Want to Marry a Dummy Either.” They even refer to rich guys’ preference in hair color.
Between pop culture’s obsession with the rich elite and the media’s love of portraying women as gold diggers, it’s really disappointing to see a woman’s magazine only perpetuating the stereotype. But should we be surprised?
