And don't think "6 figures" ($100,000) is a lot. It's working poor. What you imagine as rich people have $20 Million. Millionares as portrayed on TV in the 1950's with a mansion and butler are Billionaires.
threads like this must be killing the younger or newer population of readers on this forum. When someone says something like 100,000 is the working poor, and considering the average household brings in half of that - you are literally talking about 90+% of society as the working poor.
The fact is most people don't earn even close to this. Yet, most people can manage to get women. Can they get the super hot women that athletes and actors have access too? Probably not despite what the internet superheros say. If this forum was the norm, than the entire male population would be tall handsome millionaires who just can't seem to get it done with women. lol....realistic? I think not.
Unless you have an absurd amount of money, I honestly don't see money being a huge factor in attraction at least in the women I have known. Fact is, most first generation millionaires probably don't flaunt it at all, and you wouldn't notice them unless they told you ( on SS no less
). However, there comes a point where money does matter and that is to support a comfortable lifestyle. I am a regular working guy these days, but my job/lifestyle/salary allow me to take a good amount of time off, travel, and buy fun toys should I desire to do so. Its a fact that women notice this, but it doesn't seem to play much of a factor in the attraction process.
People in the USA affix too much of an importance to material possessions. Its a constant game of one upsmanship where I work. One person buys something, others have to buy something just a little better. This theme was pervasive in every company I worked for, and has even set into my social circle. Facebook is the catalyst for all of this bragging, and I have blocked these people because its excruciating to see people talk about their ****. No one cares except for the person who is going to one up them. They used debt to subsidize this lifestyle and don't even own half their crap...all in an effort to impress everyone.
