I am a beautiful woman, but that is not enough. I want to be beautiful inside too. A few days ago, when I chatted with my friends on SugarmommyMeet.com, they supported my idea. One of them even told me the story about her grandparents. I was so moved.
Her grandparents believed you were either honest or you weren't. There was no in between. They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: "Life is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk every step will show."
A good test for this value is to look at what I call the Integrity Trial, which consists of three key principles:
Stand firmly for your convictions in the face of personal pressure.
When you know you're right, you can't back down.
Always give others credit that is rightfully theirs. Don't be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be smarter than you are.
Be honest and open about who you really are. People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors--their looks or status---in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will do everything they can to preserve this facade, but they will do very little to develop their inner value and personal growth.
So be yourself. Don't engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are unpleasing in your life. When it's tough, do it tough. In other words, face reality and be adult in your responses to life's challenges.
Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.
To do all of these seems very difficult, but I will try. Because that is my aim.

Still single tonight?
If you want to date a wealthy woman, where do you look for one?
A bank is a good place to start, but rather than loitering around, gaining suspicion, you may want to consider the internet. Dating a wealthy woman is no mean feat, but options have expanded and the dating world has evolved to cater for the demands of single men who are looking for wealthy women.
What’s the upside to dating a wealthy woman?
Men in the main are looking for a supporter, a compatible female who is willing to help him one day make a nest. Although that day may not be immediate, it's still, in the main, an essential part of a men’s existence and ancestry.
For men seeking a comfortable and secure future, dating with a wealthy woman can be a step in the right direction.
Additional credits are given to women who are wealthy since their success is usually as a result of their character, drive and ambition. And these in themselves are very suitable qualities to men who are seeking the 'perfect, wealthy woman'.
What’s the best way to find a wealthy man?

single world
When she's ready to unwind, Michele Rogers will regularly curl up on the couch and prepare to spend an hour with her date.
He doesn't analyze her choice of career. He doesn't make her change into a strapless dress or stiletto heels.
And he doesn't tell her she's making a big deal out of nothing by talking about her feelings.
Because he's on TV.
"My only date that night is McDreamy on 'Grey's Anatomy' and that's perfectly fine," said Rogers, 34, who lives in Columbus.
A single woman watching television. Alone. Just add sweatpants and a pet cat and you have a model for the international spinsters' union.
Right?
Not anymore, say representatives from singles-advocacy organizations like Unmarried America.
"There are more single people than ever before," Thomas Coleman, executive director for Unmarried America, said in a recent phone interview.
Nationally, Coleman pointed to 100 million unmarried adults.
More and more adults are delaying marriage, choosing to pursue school and careers prior to being bound by family responsibilities, Coleman explained.
"We really are an unmarried majority nation," Coleman said. "It (marriage) is just not a lifelong thing."
I do?
Rogers is a divorcee who has experienced the world of marriage and isn't necessarily longing to return.
"If I never got married again, I would be OK with that," she said while having lunch with 43-year-old Joanna Heath of Columbus, a friend and fellow divorcee.
"When you're single, there's no stress," Heath said. "I am what I am."
It was a Friday, and hours after Rogers and Heath finished their lunch at Locos Amigos Cantina on Broadway in Columbus, the same downtown landscape was invaded by late-night partiers.
Among the nightlife crowd was the small circle of 20-something women who staked out a corner table in The Uptown Tap's courtyard.
They wore the obligatory club apparel -- jeans, flattering shirts and high heels. But their table was entirely devoid of men.
"Even at our age, people wonder why we're not dating anyone," said Kristen Meyer, 21, a student at Columbus State University.
Meyer and her friends are more than familiar with stories of early marriages and high school relationships that transform into lifelong partnerships, they said.
They are also aware of what happens when pressure to marry goes awry.
Unmarried America's Coleman cites national studies that suggest the younger couples marry, the more likely they are to divorce.
"I really think that settling is the biggest issue," said Nicky Pitts, 23, of Columbus.
The vegetable aisle?
That leaves many single adults to hit the nightlife scene cognizant of the fact that a party environment isn't necessarily the best vehicle for a trusting partnership.
"I don't come downtown looking for a relationship," said Genai Foster, 22, who is separated. Foster is stationed at Fort Benning.
Locally, some civilian men say the deluge of Fort Benning men fighting for female attention decreases their dating odds locally.

money is not everything
Why is money often an issue when it comes to dating, love and marriage? Is cash crucial for a contented relationships? One of my regular readers brought up these very questions in a recent email to me. He mentioned that in his research he'd discovered that most divorces occur due to monetary matters. I wonder if this is the case when it comes to girlfriend/boyfriend situations?
In the past year I have written many articles which raise the subject of wealth in one way or another: women asking men out for a change; money-grabbing women; whether men can handle strong, independent women; what women really want; trapping the wrong man; where's the best place to take a woman out, etc.

a good news for sugarbaby
Elizabeth Hurley and Geri Halliwell are relatively rare as single, wealthy British women. But not for much longer, according to new research published today.
Britain's soaring divorce rate and a narrowing of the male-female pay divide are helping to fuel a rapid growth in the number of single women with liquid assets of more than £25,000. There are now about 195,000 single women in Britain with such assets - cash and easy to sell investments - worth a total of £10.2bn.

Elizabeth Hurley and Geri Halliwell are relatively rare as single, wealthy British women. But not for much longer, according to new research published today.
Britain's soaring divorce rate and a narrowing of the male-female pay divide are helping to fuel a rapid growth in the number of single women with liquid assets of more than £25,000. There are now about 195,000 single women in Britain with such assets - cash and easy to sell investments - worth a total of £10.2bn.
The figures were issued by Close Wealth Management, part of investment bank Close Brothers, which predicts that the numbers, and the bank balances, of so-called "single mass affluent women" are set to grow rapidly in the next few years.
It says that the needs of this new market are not being met by the financial services sector.
While some will have inherited their money or acquired it through a divorce settlement, many others have built up their wealth by dogged devotion to their careers.
Hurley, the actress and new mother, and singer Halliwell, who has reportedly just signed a £500,000 deal to write a second autobiography, are among Britain's best-known self-made single women - together with fashion designer Stella McCartney.
In the world of business, Geraldine McKenna, above, who is single with no children, last week became the first woman to head a UK hotel chain when she took the helm at the Savoy Group.
Divorce will continue to contribute to the growing number of wealthy single women, said Martin Smith, chief executive of Close Wealth Management.
Britain has the highest divorce rate in Europe, with 40% of marriages ending in failure. By 2020 it is estimated that one in four women will be single.
In addition, many women have become more career-orientated, believes Mr Smith, so they are catching up with men in the salary stakes.
In the last year, female managers have again outperformed their male counterparts, receiving on average increases 19% higher than men.
The Fawcett Society, the organisation which campaigns for equality between women and men, will highlight women's canniness where cash is concerned, however, when it publishes a report tomorrow suggesting that many women have "secret" savings accounts their partners do not know about.

wealthy woman should be attention
A Rensselaer County woman is warning other women to watch out for a smooth-talking con artist who poses as a wealthy playboy to bilk women out of whatever he can. He's already been convicted of one con and served two years in prison, but he is now out and police in Florida -- the scammer's home state -- say he is apparently at it again. He's also wanted in New Hampshire, and one of his victims lives right here in the Capital Region. Meredith Gavin went to a job-training session in Florida four years ago and got a real life-lesson. There, she says, she was victimized by a con man. "He was there and started talking to us, was nice, charming, saying he had a lot of money," said Gavin. "He wanted to take us out and have fun. After we had gotten some appetizers and dinners and drinks, he forgot his credit card, so we had to pay for the tab, which was fine." That went on for days. Gavin says the man, Jordan Gann, cheated her and her friends out of hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. "He's very smart," she said. Florida police agree. They say he is a con artist -- and a good one. He impersonates a doctor to gain trust. "He has a gift of gab," said Det. Curtis Smith of the Tampa police department. "According to my victim, he's very smooth as far as his approach, he's very credible when he talks about being a doctor. Apparently, he has some knowlege." "He had some paperwork that I'm assuming he printed offline," said Gavin. "It said Jordan Gann, MD. It had the name of his company." The smooth-talking fake doctor had also gotten Meredith pregnant. She now has a three-year-old son but has no contact with Gann. Gavin started a website (http://home.nycap.rr.com/simonwilkes2003/) to warn other women about the man who she says stole more than her money "It cost a lot emotionally," said Gavin. "I don't trust anyone. I've been single since then." Police are still searching for Gann after they say he pulled off more scams in Florida. They say he reminds them of the legendary scam artist Frank Abagnale, the subject of the 2002 Steven Spielberg movie "Catch Me if You Can."
