or sociopaths or hyper ambitious ( I would say that this also goes under the mental health )
I am looking at me , I grew up in a former communist country exactly in the 90s ( when it was extremely sh1t )
till my late 20s , I would always prioritize money over almost everything . So needles to say ,I had a very view about life ( Money )
then I got lucky and things starting going very well , and kinda realized that all the effort was not worth it ( what I got vs what I thought I will get )
Now , the thing is that without being ambitious and focusing almost everything on this , very likely I would not have had reached this thoughts
I am not rich , but I can afford to do almost everything I want without necessarily having to look At my bank balance . If I want a nice car , I can have it next day . I want to go out partying , I can do that without thinking , I want to go to a nice destination ( flying business class can be a bit problematic , but it is doable if I really want to do it ) . Etc etc
getting the money more or less put me in a situation where I had to downgrade as much as possible how I am perceived . If girls think that the LTR is not an option with you from the get go , then they will auto-reject
I also frame myself As a mysterious guys that has deep thoughts about different things ( and looks like I am talking from experience ) , which in return makes girls Interested ( they just go menta when they can not stereotype a guy , or has no idea about his value )
for example , we pass by a restaurant or bar that I know is well seen , And then I would just say something like “ some time ago when X was there , this place was the place . Now with the management change … I am curious how long it will take for most people to go to the new new “ . But in the same time I am not dressed extremely well ( I am lucky , as I am good looking naturally and can get away with this)
so you create a dilemma , this guy who does not look that amazing from a social perspective ( does not look like he has money- in this case seen as high status ) somehow managed to go there very often . Is he high status or not ?
