WHERE ‘NJ WIFE’ FINDS WEB LOVE

SOME women surf Internet dating sites in hopes of finding love. “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Danielle Staub hit the Web in search of a sugar daddy.

On the premiere episode of the latest spin-off of Bravo’s “Real Housewives” franchise, divorced housewife Danielle is seen planning to meet a man with whom she’s had anonymous phone sex — but never met in person. When she reveals her plans to two of her fellow housewives, they are horrified and follow Danielle to the assignation point — a New Jersey restaurant called Lux — and watch through binoculars.

Unfortunately — or perhaps fortunately — for Danielle, her phone-sex partner stands her up.

After waiting a long time at the bar, Danielle finally gets the message and phones the guy and lets forth a stream of invective. She’s embarrassed. She’s angry. And she’s lonely.

Danielle met her potential boyfriend on Wealthymen.com, where her hook-up goes by the name “Guccilove.”

Wealthymen.com turns out to be an absolutely real Web site, a “meet market” for single gals who, like Danielle, are looking to find men who make “over $100K a year,” according to the site.

Using a verification system, the 3-year-old dating site stamps user profiles as either verified or unverified when it comes to their income, profession and photographs.

“It’s the user’s choice, but we recommend it,” says Stacy Cook, the site’s senior manager of development. “Verifying your information bumps you up to the front of the search results.”

After filling out a registration form, users must send in a valid photo ID for the site’s verification system — which Cook says can spot Photoshop tweaking.

Since the majority of their users do not verify their information, Cook says an approved user is “one way you can identify someone you may be interested in talking to.” But with more registered women than men, the female competition is fierce, which, Cook adds, “is always a good selling point to the men.”
