Women associate money with love, men link it to freedom

This study compares how men and women SPEND money. Men are more likely to spend money to acquire power, women are more likely to spend money as a form of affection.

Money is really just a tool. I can see how it can be linked to freedom, as having more money means having more options and opportunity.

But having more money doesn't mean one has more love. One might be able to buy the illusion of love with money.

Yup, women associate money with love.

It's why they're more giving of it than men, which was the biggest gender difference observed between the two. If we still lived in the early 20th century, you could pretend it was other people's money, but as it is, you're really stretching to justify your premise.

The researchers even admit they didn't do enough research to find out whether or not men could become hoarders, and fuck everyone around them over that way.

What are your thoughts?

"The biggest difference on the money types was on money being associated with generosity (money representing love) where men scored much lower than females, and autonomy (money representing freedom) where men scored higher than women"

TLDR:

If you associate "Charity" with "love" and "Hoarding" with "Freedom", Sure!

A complete shocker.

It blows RP theory out of the water right there in the abstract:

For men, more than women, money represented Power and Security.

That completely negates "beta bucks." Its refreshing to see a redpiller post something that discredits their own tenets, though. Congratulations on your journey to an open mind!

"males generally tend to be more competitive and define their identity via money because they are traditionally the bread winners; women identify with home making and children"

The value of money to women is that they can use it to buy their freedom from men.

Most women, like 90%+, associate money with attraction. This has been done in studies, and said studies have been reproduced on the US show "Brain Games". This is old news.

This also matches my 20 years of experience with dating.
