While it is no surprise that rich men often have an easier time getting women, naivety leads many to believe that this is the superseding factor above all-else after looks/physicals.

I'm here to remind you that it's not. Lifestyle is. There are plenty of guys who make 60K a year who lease nice apartments, cars, eat out at the best restaurants, go on nice vacations---while basically living paycheck to paycheck---to create a facade of opulence.

There is no doubt that it works on the majority of women for whatever reason at least for short-term flings.

I may make 6 figures a year in my twenties, but I have only done so by living well below my means since university and investing it; not relying on my W2 income.

This comes at a cost however. I have never taken a vacation since college, literally drive a $1000 car, rarely eat out, and live with roommates.

So despite being in the top 5% of earners my age, it does absolutely nothing as far as women are concerned, because I choose to be a skinflint.

I do not care about prestige or social status for the most part, so this drives women away.

Maybe women who are ready to settle down care solely about money from a beta provider viewpoint, but otherwise most women only care about how you spend your money, not if you have an abundance (high potential) of it.

Ironically women despise men who don't want to spend money on them while men despise women who use them for their money.
