Rev. Jen, you paint the impression that you're a typical bipolar artsy skank. you fit into a nice sterotype, and you project stereotypes onto others. ultimately pretty dull.

Hi Rev. Jen:
Thanks for writing such a cool and funny article on Marrying Rich with Shoshanna!!! It was great seeing you there that night!
Please let me know if you ever want to teach your own Learning Annex class (how to host an open-mic, how to start your own magazine, how to become a popular cult figure, pop culture journalist... etc) --I would be happy to try to arrange that for you with my friend Merry Miller -the head of programming..
Also--If you ever want to do a story on being set up with Jewish boys/men (i.e. Boy Vey the Shiksa's guide to dating Jewish Men)..Shoshanna would be glad to arrange some research dates for you.
Best wishes always,
Adam Kluger

Your writing is more than enjoyable! Your presentations of life are always very entertaining! Your sense of humor is what perks up my day!

Well, just like the rest of the shit Nerve offers. Forced, unoriginal and boring. Is anyone out there writing what comes natural to them? Being "unique" is so out!

This was great. Rev Jen is hilarious. Did James ever call? Please tell us if you hooked up with him. Don't despair, keep looking.

Jen, your writing is genius..you make me smile even on this suck-ass day. I find it totally endearing that you seem more nervous approaching the rich dude then you did when housecleaning nude or stripping.
And yes, I also prefer hanging out with the people who already know just exactly how much a jackass I can be then those who need to be slowly and torturously disabused of their misguided notions of me.
I'll check for you next time I find myself trolling for men at the Four Seasons. In the interim, please, please keep writing.

Speaking as an actual millionaire, I can tell you the "never pay" instruction is a dead-bang loser. A woman who never picks up a check (even for drinks or dessert) is a huge turn-off. I have no problem picking up the bulk of our expenses, but I don't want to be treated as a cash machine. You know, there is a term for people who exchange sex for financial compensation, and it's not a good one. Of course, I may be wrong about about all of this because there are as many varieties of millionaire and their personal philosphies as there are starving artists and writers with their own philosophies. One general thing I do know: As a matter of self-preservation, women should not allow themselves to be bought. I've heard stories of enough men who treat their women as possessions, not as people, because they feel they've bought and paid for the women.

Ms. Miller has done it again, showing what it really is like to be single in NYC! She really knows the pulse of the life that she lives, and takes us to the sexual and social battlefields of society.Equal parts of frankness and cool, she holds up the mirror of the reality of sexuality, social class, and money!

Personally I find deeply disturbing to hear about all these women attending such workshops. The fact that there isn't a "How to marry a rich woman" course attended by men makes me think that most probably the guy below who just said 95% of millionaires are men is probably right.
The interesting question is: Why is wealth distributed between males? Most probably because women rather spend their time attending these courses than getting wealthy themselves.

Very funny! Great writing. Feels like I'm back in NYshitty again just reading it! Watch out for Investment bankers though- they are NYCity's version of blue collar assembly workers in other parts of the country. But they will pay for dinner and drinks

Hate to break this to you, ERG, but upwards of 95% of (self-made) millionaires are men. Take out everyone who inherited wealth and leave the entrepeneurs, and you're left with almost all men. Not exactly insulting, just reflective of reality.

"Although Manhattan boasts more millionaires per square inch than possibly any other place on earth, it also has a staggering female-to-male ratio: 100 single females to eighty-one single males." The implication that all millionaires are male is disturbing. From Nerve, it's insulting.

Jen, I eagerly await your "I did it for Science" columns. You might not marry rich, but you are one balls-y girl with a far more interesting life than anyone wealthy I've ever met!

Jen, Jen, Jen,
How silly! A rich man snagged so easily? I think not. But it was written well.
Fear of rejection???

Nervous? Embarrassed? Fear of rejection? Is this the same Rev. Jen? :-) Actually, I enjoyed the article, and it still shows it's better to be yourself than have only money to console you. Also, have some Nerve business cards printed up next time - that'll get 'em!

A parable about the class divisions between artists and yuppies in NYC . . . . how original! Ironic statements about not understanding how to talk to rich men that actually have money and require not being slept with right away to maintain interest . . . . riveting. This is warmed-over Sex and the City nonsense.
