I'm sorry to evoke The Glamazon's name yet again in the same week, but the woman has been on a roll lately. Perhaps it's her affinity for reading every line of copy of the ads in the back of New York Magazine, but she can get fired up and I am the sympathetic ear at the ready. The source of her particular ire today is a matchmaking event hosted by something called Pocket Change.

Now, matchmaking services are hardly a new phenomenon in New York. They're practically prolific. These agencies, helmed by former yentas with glamorous head shots and copious connections, call themselves matchmakers. And it's an earnest business. Janis Spindel of Serious Matchmaking, Inc. is Manhattan's most expensive matchmaker. Her elite service will cost you $100,000 minimum. Ms. Spindel, not surprisingly, has a hand in the aforementioned event that had The Glamazon is a tizzy.

The source of this upset? The matchmaking criteria for this particular event which, arguably, is pretty crass. The ad copy read:

Rich Guys & Hot Girls are Cordially Invited to Natural Selection Speed Date! Pocket Change is honoring the age old union of wealthy men and hot girls. Society has taught us to not publicly acknowledge the obvious..no longer, dear friends! Women want money in a man, men want beauty in a woman and Pocket Change delivers by way of a speed date.

Maybe The Glamazon was right: rich old men really do want the chickies!

Well, we just couldn't leave it at that. With The Glamazon leaning over my shoulder, we called up the Pocket Change website to read more about this convergence of the "natural selection." Indeed, this was a serious venue, but even more shocking was the application process.

For the men, there were "acceptance levels" they were required to meet to be considered appropriate. They had to demonstrate an annual income of $250,000 to a million (on a sliding scale based on age), plus document a reserve of additional millions. Once they submitted this for validation and were accepted, they were then required to fork out an additional $500 to attend the event.

The women, on the other hand, were required to submit five head shots to demonstrate their level of "female beauty." Our friend, Ms. Spindel (no chickie herself) was to judge who she felt would be acceptable. The requirements stated that any other information the female applicants submitted was not required and what's more, unwanted; the applicants were being judged solely on their appearance and "overall hotness." Women who were chosen would be required to pay $50 to attend.

Oy vey. No wonder The Glamazon freaked.

The way I look at it, if these single standards are the sole qualifiers to define an ideal relationship for two people...well then, they deserve one another.
