I agree, wealth/power/status are interwined. BUT as I've said, they are not who you are as a person.
Still missing it.
They ARE who you are as a person. You don't like to think of it that way, ESPECIALLY the money part (which is actually the least important),
but this triad is the equivalent of a woman's looks.
Explain to me how "they are not who you are as a person", outside of the stuff your mom told you when you were growing up?
You have even said it yourself- the guys with the status are fukking the chicks.
Forget about the big, bad, evil MONEY for a second. Like I said, it isn't even MONEY in and of itself. Money is just PART of the three. It also happens to be the lightning rod for controversy since there are so many myths, misconceptions, and taboos that surround it. The second you say MONEY people get their panties in a wad.
Money is usually a product of status and power, and the three go together to determine, in large part, your market value as a man. You don't like that fact, but it doesn't make it any less true.
Let's say you have a guy who is motivated and ambitious to be wealthy, but never achieves wealth...are you gonna say that guy was unmotivated and didn't strive in life? No way, he was simply a "victim of circumstances".
In large part, a woman's attraction mechanism is based upon exactly that- the QUALITIES that men of wealth/status/power possess. This is what allows broke ass PUA's to circumvent the system and "trick" the pu$$y into the sack.
Make sense now?
It isn't the PHYSICAL manifestations, it is the psychological stuff that truns women on. It is rooted deeply in a woman's nature as a
fail safe" mechanism to avoid being tricked (which obviously doesn't work when men become conscious of it) and to provide a "shortcut" to determine worthy mates.
In other words, in a woman's monkey brain it isn't the big house and the $250k car that get her WET, it's the swagger of the guy who lives in the house and drives the car. That guy gets pu$$y without his "props" because he KNOWS he's high value to women.
Others have alluded to the fact that there is a difference between "attraction" and "interest" and there is definitely something to that. The material possessions, the fine clothes, etc. might catch a woman's ATTENTION, but you have to display the CORE traits and display them congruently to get beyond the audition stage.
This is why you hear stories about the chick who chooses the poor guy over the three rich guys who are chasing her. Because
IT ISN'T ABOUT THE MONEY! It's about the attitude.
Am I starting to make sense?
