She sat across the table from him listening to absurdities that were spewing out of his mouth.
"One thing that I cannot compromise when it comes to the women that I date is to go out with anyone who has dimples on their thighs. I insist on no cellulite.
"That is my deal breaker when it comes to the women I go out with."
She looked at his bulky frame and the fat neck that looked like a tyre had been wound tightly to separate his torso and his face and carefully stood up and asked the waiter to point her to the ladies bathroom.
But instead of going to powder her nose as she said, she walked out of the five-star restaurant, got into her car and drove back home. Then she blocked his number and hoped that she would never meet this weird and infuriating man that her colleague had tried to set her up with again.
Why money doesn't solve your problems
Of course, my friend had to call one of those exhale sessions where girls buy sushi, Chicken Licken and wine and talk about the crazy things that men do and we all laughed when we heard this tale.
If you thought that women could be fussy when it comes to drawing up "the check list" for potential suitors, wait till you meet the new breed of BEE types who are drunk on power and relegate women to their latest acquisitions that have to come with specifications to rival those of their sports cars, for the so-called privilege of getting the title of arm candy.
One guy apparently told his friends that among his most important attributes to decide whether to stay in a relationship or not was whether a woman snored.
Apparently the minute you snored, the love contract was over. We only got to find out later that the same guy had to travel to France 10 years ago when his young wife insisted that he get an operation to sort out his severe snoring.
The supermodel wife, used to travelling the world's top fashion capitals like Milan and Paris, told him she only trusted the specialist her French GP recommended.
Drunk in love, the BEE millionaire spent four times the amount for an operation he could have done at a fraction of a cost here at home.
The irony is that after the snoring problem was solved, the model met another super millionaire from Jamaica, packed her bags and left him broken-hearted.
Now he was getting his own back with his ridiculous zero tolerance for snoring.
OK, so there are immature men out there who have their own ridiculous lists, like not dating women with children or without university degrees, but when it comes to the BEE types who have just acquired a few millions in the bank, the list can get even more ridiculous.
Maybe it is something about men who were previously deprived who, upon acquiring wealth, get sucked into a culture of consumption that lacks any admirable finesse despite the gold and platinum cards they can flash. For these men dating is not about looking for love but for the black Barbie to put on show.

BEE tycoons think women are like sports cars
