Frequent affluent neighborhoods

Among the residential areas in Birmingham which command some of the highest real estate are Edgbaston, Mosley, Harborne, Hall Green, Bourneville and to some extent Handsworth, Bartley Green and Kings Norton. However if you do not mind going a bit further towards the edge of the city, you could come across some pretty affluent neighborhoods like  Sutton Coldfield, Shirley, Knowle and Solihull. The easiest way to mingle with rich single men would be to buy a place at any of these neighborhoods but if you find that way beyond your resources, make it a point to frequent places where they are likely to hang out like coffee shops, supermarkets or even the local park.

Finding a rich single man to date is as much a matter of hard work as good luck. However once you know where to look and how to spot them, you may be well on your way to getting the guy of your gilded dreams.
