This is one even the writers of "Sex in the City" couldn't dream up -– a map to identify neighborhoods with the most rich men. It's real estate meets Mr. Right in the form of online "man maps."
The maps are the brainchild of Kelly Kreth, a divorced New York City publicist who represents an online real estate firm called PropertyShark.com.
"I had asked the founder of Property Shark if he would construct a map with all his city-centric data of where all the rich single men are so I could find a date," says Kreth.
Property Shark's day job is to provide real estate professionals with data on commercial and residential properties. But by combining residential information with census data, co-founder Ryan Slack came up with a service that lets site visitors isolate districts with the highest concentrations of wealthy men.
Dark red "$" signs mean you're in the man money.
"These maps are ideal if you're looking where to go on a Sunday morning," says Slack. "These maps target where people live, not where they work."
Kreth used the maps, found a rich, single guy and dated him for a while. But, there was a catch to her catch.

"The problem with the map is it doesn't take into account if the guy's a jerk or not", says Kreth. And it won't raise a red flag if he's in a relationship, living with someone or gay.

Still, Property Shark is hoping the free man maps will drive business to its more mainstream services. Property Shark will be rolling out man maps across the country, Slack says. He'll even be offering a few women maps.
