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.
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.
Get a monocle.
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.
I’m sure there are some - particularly around the Midwest there are a lot of giant truck enthusiast types - I have no idea why, other than it might say “I have a farm and big arms.”
So your looking at a $70k vehicle brand new. Personally if I was dropping $70k on a car it would be something far more fun to drive and cozier inside. And electric nowadays. And not Tesla.
But I guess you could still go based on brand - your Mercedes sedan is going to be way fancier than any Ford you can get.
But there are also the types who still think Jaguar is a luxurious brand. IDK.
Or maybe I’m just analyzing the premise of wealth being attractive too much. What I consider something to be valuable won’t be what they do.
There is no such thing as a middle class. There are only to main classes: The owning class (capitalist class) who own the means of production and the working class (the proletariat) who are forced to sell their labour to the capitalists to survive.
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.
“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.
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).
There is a place here with a $70 steak, I’m tempted to try it one day
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
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?

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.
Get a monocle.
My tshirt have mouse bites and my car has a cracked bumper Buying crap to signal wealth is jusr going to attract flies.
I’m like 99% sure this might be good advice
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.

There are women who definitely care about the (quality, cost) of the car you drive. It’s one of the most obvious status symbols.
I’m sure there are some - particularly around the Midwest there are a lot of giant truck enthusiast types - I have no idea why, other than it might say “I have a farm and big arms.”

Are you trying to attract materialistic women?
???
This whole thread is about income being attractive.
Seeing how that is solidly middle class you still need a decent personality to back that up so that might be the issue.
That’s a good point, but it’s still 2.5x the median income for the area I live.
What women see.
So it’s true, Lemmy does have something of a misogyny problem. Who would have thought?
I don’t know what’s going on in this thread anymore.
What’s misogynistic about what?
Women being confronted with a metric fuckton of average middle class men with not much else going for them is… Misogynistic?
There is no such thing as a middle class. There are only to main classes: The owning class (capitalist class) who own the means of production and the working class (the proletariat) who are forced to sell their labour to the capitalists to survive.
I agree with the vibe but this is out of nowhere lmao
that’s what I am there for
I don’t think I’m a misogynist or a good representation of Lemmy as a whole.
(aren’t you always supposed to be controversial?)
Only people who disagree with me find me controversial.

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
I didn’t interpret what he said to be a script I should use. It was more of “don’t be afraid of actually using disposable income.”
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.
