I’m not including looks because to an extent - looks are more innate (and I want to be clear, this is NOT an endorsement towards looks focused ideologies)

Wealth and status are often seen as huge indicators of success and attraction, but, at the same time, the people actively pushing this also have the confirmation bias of mostly attracting the worst women.

Why are they the worst? They’re not into you for you, they’re into the material stuff you can bring.

And this is why I say that focusing on these is the ultimate cope, because it tells me that you, as a person view yourself as nothing outside of your wealth and ability to gather luxury materials. You see this all the time; the expensive dates, the emphasis on being rich and the idea of ‘a man peaks in his 50s’ - all of this, is, quite frankly cope - but not for being ugly, I wanted to be clear, this is not where I’m going - but rather, its cope for the simple fact that you are nothing outside of what you provide. The people you surround yourself with know this, and the women you attract know this.

“But that’s reality” - one might say, this is simply not true. Many people can get fulfilling relationships and lives with what they need to get by taken care of. “Money doesn’t buy happiness” is what I’m saying here, though this is only assuming you have your survival needs met and have a little more to cushion. The reality presented with that redpill cope is that of overindulgence and materialism, you’re well past the money/happiness threshold.
