I concur. Eastern Europe or Latin America is the place to be.Hooligan Harry said:Go to a third world country and see the way the women treat you. While they have not had the issues with feminism that western first world countries have had they do like you because of your status. They know a man who can travel is probably a lot more wealthy then the guy she is dating. Yes, there are other factors that appeal to them but that is the primary one. Your status. You end up having a lot of women chasing you. 10's that would suck your toes and let you **** them up the arse if you stick around a bit. Its a real eye opener.
Sorry, I have seen enough of it in my life. Money talks, bull**** walks. Money and fame are the two biggest aphrodisiacs there are. You have either of those and you are going to **** half the country.
A man's status and his genes are not effected by his illness of condition.Jeffst1980 said:... why would any women stay married to a man after he became physically disabled? Why would a woman stay with a guy that had a terminal illness?
I've posted a few threads about New York banker's wives and girlfriends being quite mad that their men are now "losers". Typically they don't leave because there are so many other men that are also having problems. But be assured that if they could swing from an unemployed banker to an employed one, they would in a heartbeat.Jeffst1980 said:Why would any attractive woman stay with a man that's out of work, when she knows that she could attract a wealthier guy? How can ANY marriage survive after the initial attraction wears off?
The one positive aspect of the marriage industrial complex is that is does install some amount of shame in women for leaving their husbands (not that it doesn't stop women from initiating 3/4 of divorces.) When a woman feels like she is married to a "loser", she just wants out.Jeffst1980 said:It all comes down to the personal values and character of the woman, as well as her respect for you. A woman with strong personal morals will not cheat on her husband. She WILL still feel attracted to other guys, just as all of us will often feel more attracted to a girl that is not our girlfriend. But a moral woman will not cross the line. It's equally as important that a woman truly RESPECTS her man.
And respect is gained via finances, job status, or ability to earn an income.Jeffst1980 said:ATTRACTION gets the girl, but RESPECT keeps her.
A woman who is still in a position to completely divorce herself from her husband with no ill effects (i.e., basically that she is childless) will consider continuing her marriage just as if she were an unmarried maiden, albeit with a bit more inertia based on the length of the relationship and the fact that she is legally married. If she were to have kept herself in good shape, then she still be at relatively high sexual market value, and she would be able to attract another man, and therefore would be able to consider leaving without having to worry about being alone. If she were to have let herself go, or has children, then she would be a low sexual market value, and she would not want to leave the marriage since her prospects would be so poor.Jeffst1980 said:The proverbial bigger, better deal will generate ATTRACTION in a woman, but attraction usually doesn't translate into action. I think we can safely assume that a woman that's been married to a guy for 10 years won't feel the same level of attraction for him as when they first begun dating. We can also assume that at some point in those 10 years, assuming that she's attractive, she's been approached by a more attractive, wealthier man. We can even assume that she's had "crushes" on other guys. That doesn't mean that she's open to leaving her husband.
Agreed. A woman who would take the marriage vow seriously would feel like her natural state is to be married to the man that she married. A woman who would not take the marriage vow seriously would be simply consider the marriage to be like a courting arrangement, subject to breakup for a minor issue.Jeffst1980 said:The raw truth is that strong personal morals and standards, coupled with respect for her mate, are going to trump any supposed "hard wired" urges that a married woman has. That's why you have to choose wisely if you want to get married.
Men frequently err by talking too much. They often monopolize conversations, droning on and on about topics that bore women to tears. They think they're impressing the women when, in reality, they're depressing the women.

What exactly are you implying?jophil28 said:I know, and have known many women who chased powerful, wealthy men with position and status, and I do not know ONE of those woman who have a successful marriage to her intended target..
This is exactly what I was talking about.Curiously, the guys whom I know who are "high value" men ALL chose 'traditional' wives. Why? Because their understanding of successful relationships has evolved past the dimwit thinking that their status and wealth will snare them a great woman. They understand that displaying status and wealth will buy a trophy, not a quality contender for a permanent relationship.
Although fairly well veiled, I sense your disdain for the theory that wealth/power=true attraction. I also sense your ego investment in the idea that "money does not make the man".They also understand that wealth and financial success can be transient and unpredictable.
They make better choices because their level of consciousness is well above their bottom line.
Agreed, wealth does buy female attention. You are confusing that with "true attraction" .STR8UP said:Although fairly well veiled, I sense your disdain for the theory that wealth/power=true attraction. I also sense your ego investment in the idea that "money does not make the man".
In my country is the exact opposite. In the more developed areas and bigger cities there are more divorces. São Paulo, where I live have a 30% rate divorce, which is the highest in the country. Is also twice as much it was just 10 years ago. The more religious and poor areas of the country have a way lower rate.1) Statistics show that divorce rates are lower for wealthy couples
I disagree. Since in Brazil the lower areas don't get married as such. they go for the "union libre" (i.e. men and women live under same roof but not married). This of course is until the man finds himself another woman and lives the first girl behind. Hence the reason why in brazil one man can father several womens children. In middle-upper class they tend to do less union libre and actual marriages.SXS said:In my country is the exact opposite. In the more developed areas and bigger cities there are more divorces.

Agreed about the aura thing.STR8UP said:The free lunch thing....I agree 100%.
The thing that you have to remember though (and this is what a lot of guys don't really understand, thus giving "money" a bad rep) is that it is the aura, that money gives a man the pulling power, not so much the money itself. Women are wired to wet their panties for the guys who exude the kind of confidence that comes from wealth.
Absolutely, completely, totally wrong.jophil28 said:Agreed, wealth does buy female attention. You are confusing that with "true attraction" .
Jophil already acknowledged that money DOES attract women. But he also differentiated between attraction to a LIFESTYLE and attraction to a PERSON.STR8UP said:So for you it's one of two things:
1) You still believe the PC bullsh!t that was instilled in you from your childhood
or
2) You know better, but refuse to acknowledge the fact that wealth/power is indeed a VERY powerful attractant for women
And this is exactly where he is wrong. The mistake is in the assumption that a man of wealth attracts women based upon the chick wanting a new $800 handbag every month. It's not about that.Jeffst1980 said:Jophil already acknowledged that money DOES attract women. But he also differentiated between attraction to a LIFESTYLE and attraction to a PERSON.
That's binary thinking, and most things in life aren't black or white. We would love to be able to separate them in this way, but the fact is that there is a lot more "grey" than straight black and white. All we have to do is ask this question- "All things being equal, will a woman choose a wealthier man over a poorer man".Women that are attracted to a lifestyle are typically selfish AW's that are so immersed in their own image that, quite frankly, they don't give a s#it about the guy that they're with. For them, money is a prime motivator and a means to further glorify their egos. This type of attraction forms a very tenuous bond--once the money runs out, there is nothing left and the chick splits.
The thing that you have to understand is that when you are "appealing directly to a woman's emotions" all you are doing is attempting to elicit the same response a woman would have to the guy with the wealth/power/status aura.The stronger type of attraction, where a woman inexplicably falls "head over heels," is based on EMOTIONAL provisioning [I had posted a thread about this awhile back, but it magically has been deleted--this is why I don't bother starting threads anymore]. This is a much stronger bond, because it circumvents conventional logic and appeals directly to a woman's emotions. When faced with a choice between a guy that is a good provider and a guy that excites her, a woman will usually choose the latter.
That was never claimed nor even implied.If you don't have status and power, you won't have as many options. This is completely true. But, that doesn't mean you shouldn't have ANY options! It also doesn't mean that any relationship you enter is doomed as soon as a guy with more money shows a bit of interest.
I agree.In fact, having high status within a woman's social circle is often more meaningful to her than having high status in a larger demographic. If you insist on thinking of humans as animals, the leader of the "pack" would be the most popular guy in a woman's immediate social circle, not some random rich dude that buys her a drink at the bar.
That's exactly what brought about the PUA movement. The bottom 80% of guys were tired of getting the scraps. the shift from the traditional marriage culture to the random hookup culture drove beta males to try to level tha playing field. Nothing wrong with that, and I'm not denying that it works. It is, after all, nothing more than finding another way to push the same buttons.STR8UP--the part about the "aura" I agree with--the confidence and swagger displayed by many wealthy guys is very appealing to women. And--of course, status and money attract women. However, you can have this confidence and attract AND keep women without monetary wealth, and that is why game can level the playing field a bit for average guys.
The "money is a strong element" part. Why? Because they don't have it and they don't ever think they WILL have it, so they have to level the playing field in their mind.Lioric said:We come as packages and money is a strong element in that, what part of this idea are you opposing?
Said like a true, indoctrinated member of the matrix.jophil28 said:Hey STR8, because you are fiercely intent on forcing your opinions on all of us who are less "enlightened", I will give you a little insight into what lies ahead to create a little balance..
My guess is that you are working hard on re-building your financial world and you are licking you lips in anticipation of all the "hard wired" pvssy that you "know" is going to fall on your d1ck when you pull up at the door of that upscale club in your red italian Maserferraro.
Yep, as a man of means you are going to attract a LOT of female attention. They are going to hang on your every word while you are entertaining them .They will laugh at all your lame jokes while you buy round after round. The HBs will be yours.
They will follow your swagger around the club as you display your "alpha qualities" and some of them will go home with you.
Yep, I agree you will get your rewards for being a man of wealth/status and power. YOu will indeed receive those anticipated benefits and rewards for your all your toil and planning.
And then another bizarre twist will occur and you will be back posting here in utter confusion and disillusionment.
Oh ,don't forget the FR's along the way, captain.
Never try to read a woman's mind. It is a scary place. Ignore her confusing signals and mixed messages. Assume she is interested in you and act accordingly.
