June 11, 201016 yr Unemployed women given £1,000 makeovers to help them find a solvent husband By Mail Foreign Service Last updated at 3:25 PM on 10th June 2010 Comments (64) Add to My Stories Women on the dole are being offered a £1,150 fashion and beauty makeover and membership to a dating agency to help them find a wealthy husband. Dutch jobseekers are being given a new hairstyle and outfit and tips from a lifecoach on how to attract a new partner. The scheme has been slammed by local politicians who criticised the deal as unethical and a waste of taxpayers money. Women in the Netherlands are being offered makeovers and membership to dating agencies in a bid to get them off the dole Under the scheme, the women will be given instructions on how to present themselves socially and offered a place on an exclusive matchmaking website called Mens & Relatie (People and Relationships). They will have professional photographs of their new image to boost their dating profile. The scheme is being offered by three councils in Friesland, in the north of the Netherlands. They estimate that if 70 women find a solvent husband, the council can save £330,000 on welfare payments. They also believe that finding love will help get the unemployed off state benefits by improving their confidence and ambitions. So far, just one candidate has signed up for the voluntary scheme, which is aimed at women but open to men as well. Managing director of dating website Mens & Relatie, Radboud Visser, said that people in relationships have 'better health, more happiness, make more money and live longer lives'. He told The Times that the councils would spend 650 euros registering an unemployed woman on their site - the average they pay them in jobseekers allowance each month. More than 600 people in the area are eligible for the scheme but, following some adverse publicity in local media, one council has put the plan on hold. In 2008, jobless Dutch in Maastricht were given a 10-week course of 'regression therapy' at a cost of £720 in the hope that coming to terms with their past lives would help them find a job.

June 11, 201016 yr Many of them have high standards when it comes to women, and don't let a minor embellishment in their girlfriends ruin their hedge funds and co-ops.

June 11, 201016 yr You don't find that kind of caliber people in Central Park East, that's why the park acts as the barrier and divides them.
