Gold Digging Tips: Fine Dining and Shit

Dating up often means eating a lot of shit that you wouldn’t eat when you broke. Or perhaps just eating a more expensive and complicated version of said shit (ex. The greater and considerably more expensive selection of steak at Morton’s as opposed to Longhorn). You should familiarize your self with what you like and what you don’t. It makes you sound more “cultured” or whatever that fuck that shit means. And it makes the process of ordering so much faster.

While on that topic, you should also know how to navigate both formal and informal place settings. This shit is kinda basic. There are YouTube tutorials and everything on this shit. Know ya shit. I understand the classist implications of these arbitrary and stupid table setups. It’s dumb but yeah.

Also finally, if you drink, know how to order a cocktail. A lot of people out there will judge who you are by the kind of cocktail you drink within certain company. Just like you know you shoes, you should know your booze. Plus better booze tastes better. I know if I’m not paying I’m going for a Johnnie Walker and coke instead of a whiskey coke.

Gold Digging Tips: Look Like Money

One of the best ways to attract your prey is to look more like them in a way. (I was tryna rephrase that in a cuter way, but I'm not Carrie Bradshaw or some shit.) Basically, dress the part. I know that lookin like money isn't necessarily cheap but there are some ways to do it on a budget. 1. Shop Sales - get on Barney's and Saks's and Neiman's email lists. Know when that Net-a-Porter sale starts. And when shoppin these sales, know what to buy. For example, overstated logos haven't been in vogue for hot minute so it's best to go for classic styles with more subtle branding details. You still want those details there tho because what's the point of spending money if your prey don't know it. 2. Splurge on timeless staple pieces especially accessories, jewelry, and shoes. You can wear the same watch everyday but you can't wear the same shirt. 3. Get some of your more basic pieces from more basic stores. Like, a plain ass white blouse don't need to be Alexander Wang. Get you one from Banana Republic or the Gap.

Gold Digging Tips: Book Learning

Very often people who are older and of a higher socioeconomic class also have higher levels of educational attainment. Of course that doesn't mean that they're naturally more intelligent but that they've spent more time in school. That said, among many circles, there is an emphasis on knowledge of "the classics" and "the canon." Basically it's a collection of thought and literature that white folk have deemed worth of continuous study and rehashing. Because rich folk and particularly rich white folk have all had to study the shit, you should have at least a passing familiarity with it too lest you be left out of conversations at dinner parties when someone decides to go on a pretentious rant about marriage and adultery and the status of women in Fontane's Effi Briest and Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. Having a modicum of intelligence and knowledge of this pretentious bullshit is not necessarily a requirement but it helps I guess if you want a man to take you seriously as an equal at least on that level. Just be aware that some of that shit is boring as fuck. Like, seriously. I've never met a piece of Russian literature that hasn't felt more and more laborious with each turn of the page.
