Get rich and chicks?

[BradleyScheff]

Of late in the manosphere, there has been talk of men getting "six figures" in order to land beautiful women while many guys parrot this idea. I find this idea weird. Don't you think you would only ever attract gold diggers in this fashion? 🤷

Yes, flaunting wealth mainly lands you gold diggers.

No, money can be a tool to improve your potential pool of mates.

Most guys around my age aren't clearing six figures right now, so in my area, where I'm from, the six figures thing is absolutely bullshit. Literally everybody would be single if that was mandatory lol.

[BradleyScheff]

Well yes. Also, this advice is mainly geared towards men who maybe have unattractive faces or are shorter or weird and whatnot. It just seems like a recipe for disaster to attract gold diggers in my opinion.

[mandyfire98]

Yeah because then the women that actually do look for that and demand that won't truly love that guy, just his money.

Most women are fine with men just making enough to cover themselves, unless they're wanting to be a stay at home wife. Then they'll depend on their husbands money.

[BradleyScheff]

Precisely my point yes, I don't know about "most" women though. The data on that is pretty clear. The majority of women want the top 10% of men. At least based on dating app data.

[mandyfire98]

Most women my age aren't using dating apps. They know dating apps are trash and toxic. No single woman I know personally is on dating apps.

There are statistics that show that only 13 percent of the population is currently using dating apps. Only 13 percent total. That's a tiny pool

[BradleyScheff]

Still a pretty big pool if you look at it population wise. What percent of the population aren't dating/ ready to date and aren't using it?

[mandyfire98]

Most women I know didn't meet their significant others on a dating app at all. Most girls in college I hung out with didn't meet their boyfriends on a dating app either.

Basically you're only dealing with a small pool of women on dating apps and you are all fighting over a small percentage of women. Most people are aware of how awful the dating app experience is. So why deal with trash?

[mandyfire98]

I know you think that all single women are on there but you are 100 percent wrong. Most single younger women aren't even on there.

[mandyfire98]

It's much easier to say "all women want the top 10 percent of men" but here's the thing... The top ten percent in what category? Looks? Subjective, success? Subjective.

[mandyfire98]

I actually make more money than my boyfriend and he's 37 lol. I don't even give a shit how much he makes at all. I also didn't meet him on a dating app because I've never used one in my life.

[BradleyScheff]

Well you are an exception. I am happy for you. It shows you have character. However, based on my limited, subjective experience here in the UK, I wouldn't say it is the case at all. Good looks and success are not as "subjective" as you think. Ugly guys would be deemed ugly by 90% of the women, if not more. Well, I mean... you wouldn't get it I suppose. You are not a dude. But I am happy for you :)

[mandyfire98]

Maybe it's a British thing then. Because most men in America aren't ugly. They might be average looking but there's nothing wrong with average. It's the average for a reason.

But personality absolutely matters. The problem with dating apps is no personality involved. It's missing the actual real life first impressions of a social interaction. The body language, sound of a voice, everything involved. That's why dating apps don't work as well. Also only attracts shallow people. Because everything is just a picture on there.

[BradleyScheff]

It might be the case. You seem like a solid person. I respect you in that regard.🫡

[mandyfire98]

And I bet good money that you are nowhere near ugly by the way

[BradleyScheff]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You'd lose that bet.

[mandyfire98]

I don't doubt that you might feel that way about yourself. But I bet you aren't really ugly tho.

[BradleyScheff]

You're far too kind. No wonder you're doing well. Thank you. I'm doing what I can to be better, but no. I'm really not that attractive :)

[mandyfire98]

You know a lot of the battle is just showing effort. Like clothes and grooming and working out. You'd be surprised at what women notice about guys just from them putting effort into stuff like that. Shows confidence.

[mandyfire98]

Focus on that stuff and attitude and confidence and it definitely will show.

[BradleyScheff]

I'm aware of that and I am changing what I can. However, there are a few things I cannot change that matter a lot more. So it's a much harder battle. It's easier to fight if you know you have a high chance to win big. It's much more demoralising to fight knowing no matter what you do, the chance for a decent win is not that high.

[mandyfire98]

I mean you gotta believe you can win. That's what confidence is. Believing in yourself. If you have a defeatist attitude people will sense it from a mile away. It starts with accepting yourself first. Which might be hard but it's necessary.

[BradleyScheff]

It's hard with a realist personality. If I had a decent chance then yeah, I would have had more confidence. Well, it is what it is. You can only do what you can. 🤷 So I am doing just that and see where it goes :) Thanks for being so positive and not contributing to the cesspool of social media negativity.

[mandyfire98]

I've found negativity never changes things for the better. It's always an anchor.

[BradleyScheff]

I'm not negative. I am just not fake positive either you know?

[slatyb]

Six figures is hardly "wealth". Maybe if you get to, say, $200K, then it is. But it would be a very poor strategy to advertise one's wealth or income to attract women. Then one will attract women who care about wealth. I would much rather attract a woman who just enjoys being with me.

[RavVid]

Girls are definitely attracted by resources. It is the nature of the female beast to like men with money. So you will always get a gold digger no matter what. But some gold diggers are more ambitious that other gold diggers.

[Flower7]

You’re right, that’s the best way to end up with a gold digger.

[exitseven]

Having money is important to most women. They see it as a sign of maturity and competence.

[BradleyScheff]

Financial stability, sure. But six figures? Really?

[exitseven]

six figures does not buy you much these days. I live in a high tax moonbat state and a hundred grand for two people with no debt is just getting by.

[BradleyScheff]

That's crazy. Then they should move elsewhere

[exitseven]

@bradleyscheff All my kids live here and my wife would never move away from them or else i would be living in Florida long ago.

[RavVid]

It s the discretionary dollars that count. How much you earn above the basics.

[shades777]

The idea is getting the chick you want, but the chick that chooses you for you is really the chick you want

[Anonymous]

You want a girlfriend, you gotta need the money to keep her happy 😎

[Fury_storm]

money attracts all women dumbass
