The player''s club: How to spot a gold digger

With Denzel

The Players’ Club is all about dating advice for those playing the dating game, the players and playettes.
This week: Five traits of a gold digger, inspired in part by Hugh Hefner (86 years old) and Crystal Harris (26 years old).

The player: Five signs she is a gold digger

All that glitters is gold: Forget the heartfelt poem making an impression on her. If it didn’t cost an arm and a leg, she won’t like it. Period.

She is WAY out of your league: If she belongs on a magazine cover and you belong in a gym, she is most probably after your fat wallet, not your fat belly.

Public isn’t in her vocabulary: Public transport? Public park? Public bathroom? No, no, no! She would rather a private car and private table at a private bar.

Glamour social events: She will shriek (in disgust) at the mention of volunteering at the orphanage, but shriek (in delight) at the mention of VIP tickets to a movie launch.

Birds of a feather: Yes, if her friends are known gold diggers, she most probably is one.

The Playette: Five signs he is a gold digger

“No-wallet-isis” is a strange disease he will have: Basically every time you go out for dinner, shopping etc, he has no wallet because he “forgot” it at home.

Fancy car: CHECK. Fancy house. CHECK. Fancy lifestyle. But he is broke. If he is balling on a budget, well somebody is furnishing all those fancy items, and most probably you are the one.

The word money dominates his vocabulary: A lawyer uses the word legal a lot. A doctor uses the word health a lot. A mother uses the word child a lot. And he most probably uses the word money a lot.

Your bank account number: It is a 15-digit alpha numeric code, your phone number is a six-digit numeric code, but off his head, he most probably can recite the former and not the latter.

Obsessed by status: He will ignore your hairdresser friend, but never your CEO buddy...who might just be his next victim after you!
