Yeah but they’re not married to billionaires either. BS is responding to the mythology that women are compuslively drawn to very wealthy men.
Moreso than wealth, IMO what women are drawn to is “status”, status often comes with wealth, but they are not the same. To take famous examples, someone of high status can be an athlete, tech rising star, a powerful general, presidential candidate etc etc. What’s more important is that *men* are also drawn to these people, which indicates their status.
Jay Z is a wealthy man for sure, but he is also a towering “alpha male” ( to use PUA terminology) within his own field. He could do worse than B…
You are missing my point. Not sure if it’s poor comprehension or if you’re just rushing to judgement. Reread what I wrote, because I’m getting tired of retyping it.
Plantir got what I was saying.
I was responding to the blatant statement in the initial article that women want rich old guys. I responded by saying, that yes, they want wealthy men, but they do not prefer old men, all things being equal. And I provided examples. I then used those examples to show that while wealth is nice, it often has declining utility once it hits a certain point as do most things. Hence why these women who represent the “total package” are not married to billionaires they could surely get. Rather they have chosen millionaires and sacrificed some marginal wealth for attractiveness, etc. Therefore, these examples such as hugh heffner simply represent women who were only half the package pursuing guys that only represent half the package as well.
On a fundamental level, you can go one step farther and demonstrate counter examples to the wealth argument that undermine it’s value as a primary factor. When an 80 year old rich man marries a younger woman it makes headlines because it is that unusual. However, anyone who’s ever been friends with a tattooed bartender or cover band guitarist, can tell you they pull so much tail it’s unbelievable despite having negative net worth. It’s so common, it would be unusual if they didn’t. I know a good many rich guys with average or plain wives. I have never known a young bartender or band member that didn’t have a hot girlfriend.
In other words, if all of this was too difficult to follow: Women like wealth. But it is one of several characteristics that women love. Balance can be individualistic, but the end point is that being wealthy is not the only thing that matters. In optimal cases such as the Kim K, etc, women who represent the total package have demonstrated a clear bias towards attractiveness and vitality over “old” as the article states. It’s a simple point, I don’t understand how this is difficult.
When it comes to getting married though, the ability to bring home the bacon is fairly important to most women, I think. Or alternately, to be an awesome househusband (though that can pose additional problems, particularly if a woman’s friends keep arguing to her that house-hubby isn’t a ‘real man,’ should go get a ‘real job,’ so that he will stop leeching off of her wealth).
Negative net worth tatooed bartenders and band members may be able to get laid a lot, but how many of them have “hot wives” as opposed to “hot girlfriends.” (Not that a hot wife is the end all/be all, but most guys would like that to be part of the package if they can.)
It’s really just a matter of age… eventually, they all want security, so the Wealth trumps the ‘good looks’ as time goes by. And I know a lot of young ladies who married much older established men, and many of these young ladies have best of both worlds by messing around with younger attractive men at the same time.
Sounds like you are an RSD or AFC Adam kind of guy. AFC Adam doesn’t really have a forum, RSD has RSD nation. AFC Adam has alot of videos about street pickup, etc on Youtube.
Just found out that my friend got cheated on. He was with his gf since high school (15 years now).
She’s a nurse and had an affair with an Asian surgeon. My friend started having doubts when she was coming late from work a couple of nights a week. She gave several excuses, one of them being that she was helping her friend and her husband plan some surprise party for the friend’s parents. Lo and behold he accidentally bumped into the husband at a coffee shop and asked how the plans for the party were coming along. The husband responded word for word: “WTF you talking about?!”
As a woman, i’d say i’d rather date someone young and poor.
First of all, being young almost always equal to being “poor” unless that person is born rich. Who has millions at early 20s? it’s not something i expect my potential dates to have, that’s for sure.
Second, you can NEVER look down on a young guy because his biggest asset is time and youth, and he has all the potential in the world to become rich one day, maybe soon.
Third, old rich men don’t always spend their money on women. Yes, they may wine and dine you, buy you some gifts here and there, but they are smart enough not to give you any asset because he knows once he does the girls may move on to the young body guard or driver.
