For me, the hierarchy would be Home > Car > Watch.
I agree with the hierarchy. I would put home furnishings and home electronics as a part of home. It's good to have a relatively modern TV set as the primary TV set. If a TV set gets too old but is still functional, it can be moved to another room if one's home is spacious enough. This is more difficult for the bachelor in a 1 bedroom apartment. An aging primary TV set can be moved to the bedroom, but it is less than ideal to have a TV set in the bedroom.
There are even fashion accessories that you can put ahead of a watch. Shoes for instance. You could get some Bruno Magli shoes for $300-$500 right now. A basic pre-owned steel Rolex (which won't be as effective as a gold Rolex) will run around $5,000 - $5,500 right now. Going to an upscale lounge with some Bruno Magli shoes, a solid dress shirt, and a nice pair of pants could be around $700. You could get some impressive clothes and shoes for nightlife venue game for the cost of one steel Rolex. That might even impress women more than solely the Rolex.
I don’t think it’s worth putting yourself into debt to get things to impress women.
I disagree. It depends how much debt.
Some men have two primary options in conventional dating. They can use possessions to attract women or they can go without sex. All men pay for sex indirectly in conventional dating.
If your looks are on point, you're less likely to need money game. Going from a 7 to an 8.5 on looks means you won't need to use money as much. A 7 is an above average looking guy and he'll still likely need to use money.
When a man reaches 35-40, it's more difficult to win purely on looks. Money does become more of a factor in middle age. Men can compete effectively on looks alone until about 35-40.
Starting in the 35-40 range, there are fewer men who can attract solely on looks. There are some 35+ archetypes that can compete on looks alone, but its rare and almost non-existent after 50.
Money ages better than looks.
