What income needed to date the most attractive women?

PostAvailable9966 · 2026-02-11T17:44:12+00:00

If you are asking seriously, and assuming you really believe this.

How many of the people here, you think have enough money to have dated girls like this and speak for experience?

You are posting either something that is flat out wrong, or doesn’t have a chance to get a serious reply.

Credentials: Banker in NYC, 25M making ~200K + bonus. A lot of these guys telling you that money doesn't matter have clearly never hung around the upper echelons of society. A girl like the one you just shared would probably go for a 200-300k a year guy (to date), however, I've also seen them go for very good looking bums but they always choose the money. I will say though, there are a lot of decent looking men in my field so these girls don't mind finding you "mid" if your money more than makes up for it. My bosses or bosses of friends who make multiples what I make have (or have been) around women 10x more stunning than that. Feel free to ask more questions if you'd like.

Most women don't give a shit about money as long as you're not horribly in debt or completely broke. You're paying your bills and live a lifestyle that isn't too far from her own, she's good.

There is not "beautiful people" lifestyle. That's internet bullshit. If you want to date a woman who grew up with money, is surrounded by people with money, and/or has a lot of money herself - you're probably going to have to meet her there. The impossibly hot girl behind the counter at Starbucks just wants you to be able to go out and have a nice time with a guy who can afford to split the bill or maybe spring for her movie ticket.

usually the level of doctor/successful lawyer and above. six figures won't give you enough money or free time to cater to the elite insta thots

I knew this one dude that was sleeping on his friends couches every week, bumming cigarettes & never really took a shower. But he got more pussy than all of my friend group combined.

Obviously these women probably wernt classified as IG models, but you get the idea.

From my experience, ability to afford transportation costs (road and flights; preferably business class) and dinners, would be the minimum - and this wouldn’t necessarily apply to physical attraction, but those also with high level jobs, like CEO. One woman wanted me to pay for her childcare for the night, so she could be fully present with intention. I’d say 150k, if being conservative.

You need enough money to buy coffee + condoms. That's it.

I have literally NEVER been asked how much I make by a woman on a date ever. And I've banged 10s. So you don't need much. Just enough to show up to a date looking alright and maybe pay for her coffee. That's it. Honestly.

My current girlfriend is stunning and makes more money than me. I make about $30 K a year. I'm near broke.

One of my best friends is a low level theatre actor, barely making enough to scrape by - working part-time at a daycare. He is dating beautiful actresses that own their own homes.

Yeah, money matters. But guess what? 1000 other things also matter, and nobody really dates a person based on ONE variable, like money. Not even prostitutes do. They reject certain paying clients if those men have bad personalities or act wrong.

If you have enough money to eat, to get her coffee, and to dress like you're not total homeless - you can date 10s. Well.. I don't know if you personally can date 10s, because I don't know you or how attractive you are. But if you are very handsome, or decent looking with great game. You can absolutely date 10s.

You just need to be attractive. Not even looks. But let's take looks as an example: I could take away Chris Hemsworth's money tomorrow - turn him into a surfer bum. If 10s came to visit his beach, he could absolutely date them. No doubt.

Non-Transactional Dating = HER EMOTIONS FOR YOU > your money

Transactional Dating With 9s & 10s?

(A combination of cash and clout…..)

100K+ followers on IG

The Appearance of 7+ Figures Annually

Be on Rogan or in Wikipedia

Be a “Trick” (Not Recommended)

NOTE: I’ve had 8s & 9s approach me online and fly themselves in to my city simply based on how I carried myself in writing and over the phone, so you’ll never evolve until you realize you’re asking the wrong the questions when you avoid “The Inner Game” of your own soul — Check my profile.

epimpstyle · 2026-02-11T21:32:51+00:00

A woman doesn’t automatically know how much you make,

Yes, true, but it's not hard for her to Google your name and see what comes up. She can check your Instagram profile, see what you post, and get a pretty good idea of your level. She sees what clothes you wear, what phone you have, what watch (if any), what place (bar/restaurant) you chose, and how you present yourself, she evaluates all of that. She doesn’t know exactly, but she gets close enough to figure out where you stand.

how much income is needed to support the lifestyle that these women enjoy?

She will put you into a category as I said above and that's it… in the end, it's her choice, not yours (but this is again debatable). However, from what I've seen so far, 'birds of a feather flock together'... the exceptions are very rare.

To get women you dont need a lot but to keep them around it's really about lifestyle

coolwater85 · 2026-02-11T21:59:43+00:00

Ummm, why? Why would you want to dedicate your life to making enough money to date someone like that?!

When a person is making enough money to pay for private flights, dating someone like that instathot is at the bottom of your priority list. And a much high caliber of women are at your disposal.

Dreamlancer · 2026-02-11T21:59:58+00:00

What an odd question. But assuming you're looking for a serious answer?

Technically? 0.

Practically? Enough to pay your bills and have a gym membership you're actually using.

As long as you're putting a comparable amount of effort into yourself/your appearance and have your own life loosely squared away? You don't need to have a lot of money. You just need to not be boring and actually have meaningful interests or pursuits in life. Which I think some guys don't really get. Just don't have the expectation of pulling a girl that you see as a 10 who is fit and beautiful and taking care of herself by eating right and that's in the gym every day to maintain her appearance, meanwhile you're sitting on the couch praying your wallet inflates to make up the difference in the effort of input?

You're citing women on IG, it's an influencers job to essentially cultivate the best pictures they can take to give you a highlight reel of their lives, which isn't a practical reality of their day to day. Like they aren't out there posting about the days they feel bloated or ugly on their period, or the days that they just want to binge eat in n out burger or get comfort food late night taco bell as a second cheat day that weak on their diet.

And it's not as if every women is devoting their time towards the vanity that is influencer culture. There are indeed stunning women out there that get more than enough male attention in their actual life where they don't go searching for more of it online.

You just need to put a comparable amount of effort in to attract what you're searching for. And people think that's money to shore up the fact that they haven't put in the effort elsewhere. Meanwhile having no answer for why broke drummers in local bands pull stunning chicks all day long.

Thierr · 2026-02-11T22:14:02+00:00

The money amount is irrelevant. The amount of true passion you have for your job is much more relevant.

L2F_mens_glutes · 2026-02-11T22:19:41+00:00

500k

Upset-Consequence-80 · 2026-02-13T11:05:13+00:00

20 years ago money didn't matter as much, but nowadays. Thanks to social media, it's all about money. No woman wants to date a broke dude. I work with attractive women who make 150k+, best believe that they don't waste their time with dudes who make less. One of my coworkers is very very attractive and she only dates, top-tier dudes. (Doctors, lawyers, millionaires...Etc) She has even had random simps cash app her money just to end up getting ignored by her. Lol

invisibletraveler2 · 2026-02-13T22:01:46+00:00

The whole premises of this question seems really weird. I assume you are living in some sort of TV show where this is important. Also your assertion that Instagram Models are some sort of special species to be sought out is kind of weird or juvenile. I have known, met and seen "Pop Culture" women like you speak of and thought many of them are not very attractive in person. More so the personality of any woman who is focused on such things would have me eating glass, just as an excuse to bounce.

On a side note earlier today I hooked up with a girl who has posts with over 3 million views (doing some sort of sexy meditation dances, idk not my thing). She does well is sexy AF, has a wealthy bf with a big house on a golf course.... She prefers hanging out at my (almost) dumpy duplex and hooking up with me. We have never been on a date or hungout. I slipped her my number one day and all flirting was just texting. Also im in my 40s, much older than her.

What im saying is forget all of your beliefs and rules. None of it matters. Just have fun, be genuine and figure out how to interact.

Prestigious_Water336 · 2026-02-11T18:38:54+00:00

If your talking about 9's 10's then probably at least 150K-200K plus a year.

You should be driving around in a newer nicer vehicle and living in a nicer place like one that has a duel shower head and sinks

They want that luxury lifestyle and if you can't provide that for them they'll find someone else that will.

evry1isalreadytaken · 2026-02-11T18:43:34+00:00

At least 300k

tilldeathdoiparty · 2026-02-11T18:33:40+00:00

In reality you should be happy with what you do.

If you’re the best at what you do, and happy with it you’ll attract women.

If you’re the best at what you do, you should be able to make enough money to support the lifestyle you achieve.

There is no such thing as a magic number, but it will feel like that until you surpass it.

People who deal with that kind of money are not wasting their time on Reddit.
