I remember I was online dating as young as college I was always a computer guy from a young ag
Excatly you have incels in here talking about being sub-5 crap. A lot of guys really need to focus on getting their money up. It's not about tricking but the fact that money gives you access to better women, social circles, venues, traveling, lifestyle etc. When I was broke I had to use swipe apps a lot and it was awful once I started to make more money the quality not just of my life went up but the quality of women I was dating. You don't have to be a millionaire in most cases. Just make 2X what the average guy in your city makes.
The reality is though the average member won't put in the work and that's fine. The game is survival of the fittest as it should be. Women don't want to procreate with weak men and Top tier guys don't want to procreate with ugly women. You have to adapt, improve or get left behind and die!
I agree with you, as long it is does not get derailed that you need to be rich or stuff like that to have a dating life
if you are a lower, you can be Elon musk rich, you would still s8ck with women
what matters is how you spend the money ( even if it is not a lot)
For example you can hire a fashion stylist to come with you and help you with buying clothes, if you have no idea about fashion
or go to a solid hair stylist
or just go to the cool bars , cafes, clubs and spend enough till you become a regular and get some status
basically living a life of a true high value guy, that does exciting stuff most of the time
if you make 1 million a year and you just work, all the money in the world will not help you get laid ( unless you go for escorts and stuff along this line)
women do not care per se about how much money you have, but they do care if you are a guy who really respects himself and is an interesting person
