I disagree Str8up. In your first post, you were talking about ferrari's and mansions....most guys don't have that. Most guys work for a living. That's reality.
Fact, you don't need mansions and ferraris to attract women.
You are talking extremes here..being poor, or being extremely wealthy.
What about the average guy that falls in between this? Me included. Let me guess, that average guy is out there bangin hotties and doesn't have time to argue with you.
You don't need to flaunt wealth to impress women. Period. If you do, you are doing something wrong. Fix it.
You completely miss the point of this post because all you can do is transpose your current situation (which you see as being your permanent situation) onto the topic.
This has nothing to do with the "average guy" or his ability to attract women. It has nothing to do with HAVING to flaunt something to attract women.
IMO, every single last guy on here would alter his lifestyle if he was a billionaire, and some of the things he would do would be to help him attract women, even if he isn't willing to admit it.
The question was, "If you came into an astronomical sum of money, would you use it to your advantage in the mating game?"

It's not the actual money their attracted to its your ability to get the money (the journey not the destination) that their attracted to. They see you as a success.
I very much agree with this statement, however, visual displays of wealth are the icing on the cake. And it doesn't have to be "flaunting" anything. It can be subtle and women will still pick up on it.

I'd use it so far to project the image of success and someone chicks want to be with.
The guy where the party is basically.
And none of them would ever see a dime of my money.
Well ok I guess they'd see it in the clothes and expensive watches and rings I'd be wearing but yeah there'd be no buying everyone in the bar rounds of drinks, no taking chicks on trips or buying them anything costlier than maybe a cup of coffee and even thats stretching what I'd be willing to spend on any chick that I just want to bone knowing what I know now.
No chick would ever get away with playing the string along blue ball game with me if I was a bazillionairre.
You nailed it. THAT'S the attitude to have.
You don't turn into a supplicating wuss who throws cash at women, but being "the man", being "where the party is at" is still going to cost you.
Hell, I'm not a billionaire and I don't play bigwig, but even I have to buck up from time to time because I live close to all of the action, and being the owner of a well known business I have to play up to the role, to an extent. I have to keep my place stocked with drinks for when I have guests, etc.
And it isn't just about chicks either. Projecting an image of success can help you make money in and of itself.

Str8up, in total honesty, to better aquaint you with myself, I definitely wouldn't lump myself in the "wealthy" category, but I can say that I do make decent money. Enough to make a living from and completely support myself. I'd lump myself in the "average/middle income" category. People(especially you for some reason) think that those who speak the way I do about money and women, must not have money or don't think they'll ever have money. Not true at all. It isn't just "broke" people who speak as I do.
I can tell when people have resigned themselves to always being in that "middle" category.
You know how I can tell this? Because you didn't even bother to read and comprehend my post, you just responded by defending the fact that "it doesn't take money to land pu$$y". Same with Mr. Positive. I like both of you guys and several others on here who think the same way, but I honestly believe your self-limiting beliefs will hold you back in life.
I personally think this is a bad thing because you will never exceed the limits you place upon yourself, but I understand where it comes from since I grew up believing the same thing.
Think about it, and do yourself a favor and open your mind to bigger things.
Amen again.
Str8up, if your "wealth" was such a chick magnet for ya, then why are you still single at 36?
1) I never claimed to be wealthy
2) I don't have a "goal" to be married or in a relationship
Why are you still having woman troubles? Every month it's something about this chick, that chick, that chick, etc.
I don't have any more woman troubles than the next guy. I just enjoy picking apart male/female relations, so everyone assumes that I'm neurotic about it or something.
Look at all these wealthy guys who use escorts because women don't come easy to them. Like I've said, most of an escorts clientelle are wealthy men. And guys, spare me the cop-outs that they do it "because it's easier to f*ck an escort so they don't get caught". Cop-outs because they can't be honest and be a man about it and admit that it's tough out there.
It isn't the slightest bit "tough" to get laid if you are wealthy. If you don't understand that by now you never will.

Go to a third world country and see the way the women treat you. While they have not had the issues with feminism that western first world countries have had they do like you because of your status. They know a man who can travel is probably a lot more wealthy then the guy she is dating. Yes, there are other factors that appeal to them but that is the primary one. Your status. You end up having a lot of women chasing you. 10's that would suck your toes and let you **** them up the arse if you stick around a bit. Its a real eye opener.
Sorry, I have seen enough of it in my life. Money talks, bull**** walks. Money and fame are the two biggest aphrodisiacs there are. You have either of those and you are going to **** half the country.
Spot on.
I was in eastern Europe for a couple of weeks and the women look at you like you're a rock star everywhere you go. I had two friends fighting over me within a couple of days. It's a bizarre feeling to step off the plane back in America where you are just another face in the crowd.
I get a taste of it here in the states as well, since I have a certain amount of status within my social circle, but not to the extent that I would if I were worth 100mil.
