    Pfft.

    If that were true Id have no problem picking up women.

    Actually, now that I think about it, how the hell would I say I make $150k/yr without saying it? You really can’t can you? So how would you attract women with it?

    Edit: y’all are fucking insane. Income isn’t an attraction factor. It’s a relationship factor in terms of stability and safety.

    Edit 2: I may have misread the post

      Gosh! How could a man possibly signal wealth to potential mates?

      If only society could come up with ways to flaunt one’s wealth!

        I appreciate the sarcasm, but that’s the thing. I don’t get it.

        I don’t know what makes wealthier people look wealthy. You can’t tell a watch is a Rolex from 20 feet away. Tailored Suit and tie? Great, everyone else wears that too.

        A house? I can’t bring that with me wherever I go.

        A car? I don’t know if you’ve met many women who care about what you drive.

      Do what men in the good old days did.

      Buy a pocket watch.
      Get a tophat and suit.
      Walk around with a cane.
      Pay for horse carriage instead of walking.
      Rename yourself Klein Moretti and uncover eldritch mysteries.
      Wear a monocle.

      Seeing how that is solidly middle class you still need a decent personality to back that up so that might be the issue.

      if you reeeallt wanted to attract a shallow person:
      fancy clothes, car, house…
      and humble bragging like, “damn this stock market! i lost $1 million dollars this morning… oh well, i can spare it”.
      also you can go to very expensive places that only rich people can afford.

      Women are just aware of status symbols as men are, except we appreciate different status symbols than men… you can use your money to workout, get fit and ask your trainer these questions, for example

      “Hello ${Woman’s Name}. Would you like to join me for dinner on ${Select free date} at ${Restaurant with 3 or 4 dollar signs for price on Yelp}? I also have a second ticket for ${Popular sold out show at theater} if you’d like to join me?”

      Take a shower and dress nicely first, before asking and before the date. Try just doing it everyday. Pay for everything, never look at prices for more than a second, if at all. In this way, you will communicate that you have disposable income and are willing and able to consider another person’s happiness, if even momentarily, which will put you far ahead of most men in the running.

        Ok see, THAT makes sense.

        Also helps that I don’t look at prices anyway(not that that behavior is a good thing, I still need to budget for disposable income) unless something looks stupid, like a $200 steak (There is a place here with a $70 steak, I’m tempted to try it one day).

          Yeah I would definitely not talk like that to anyone you’re interested in. You have all the subtlety of a bull in a china shop. Don’t be this guy

              That’s a good point, but it’s still 2.5x the median income for the area I live.

              These are red flags that will ruin your chances and if you are acting differently towards women, stop acting and just stop trying to humble brag about your income. It’s a lot easier to not try to trick people

                Ok so yours actually made me re read the post because I was seriously concerned people were throwing all this shit around.

                I may have misread the post.
