Oz Dating

There's a widely held belief in our society that a man doesn't have to be young and handsome to win the heart of a beautiful young woman; he can do it if he's older, rich and powerful. A lot of people don't like this idea, since it puts a big hole in their theories about equality between the sexes.

Still, there does seem to be a lot of evidence for the belief - the latest being the engagement of Aussie celebrity Sophie Monk to the much older French millionaire Jimmy Esebag. While she describes him as being her soul mate, and there seems to be clear and genuine affection between them, it's fair to say that his substantial wealth and influence probably had more than a little to do with her attraction to him!
