Revealing wealth

[RangerMIke]

I know a few male millionaires... the car they drive the most is an F-150 pick-up. But all of these are self-made. You can't really tell them apart from regular middle class men.... except one way....

It's the details. Ties... watches.... the kind of wallet they have, cuff links.... Look for stuff that someone might get as a gift, they typically do not spend money on themselves, so look for things that someone might buy for them... if they have money, then the gifts they get will be worth something. You can spot a poser a mile off, he might be wearing an Armani suit and Johnson Murphy shoes, but if he is wearing a regular watch you might get in a drug store you know he just has a lot of credit card debt. It's where they stay and where they eat, they will spend money of services rather than things. Men with money don't typically show off wealth overtly, because doing this costs money, and you don't build wealth by spending money.

As far as behavior is concerned... you hardly ever see them get upset about anything... if they are hit by disappointment or a problem they just start thinking of a way around it. You do not get rich by freaking out about the things around you, you are also very used to difficulty, because difficulty is your friend... it is the difficulty that weeds out the weak people. When someone treats them with disrespect, they don't get mad, they act surprised... because they just aren't used to that happening.

Another thing I notice is that they treat everyone the same based on their personality. If they are naturally gruff everyone gets treated that way, if they are open and friendly, everyone gets treated that way. They really don't change their mannerism based on who they are around.

That is just a bs statement. I know loads of people that work harder than you ever will in this life and yes they were born into it.

Are they flaunting their wealth?

No.
They do have assets. But that doesn't mean that live an "easy and lazy life" as some people think you do because you come from a wealthy family. They work harder than the most and very long hours. So your claim:

they never had to work for it.

is what I called BS because it is in most cases simply not true.

Ye and remove yourself from social media. Chicks cannot stalk or research you and you win other bonuses too that will improve your life.

Social Media is just far too powerful a tool to simply ignore; even if you are ignoring it, SM is still happening all around you.

Its easy to maintain SM without allowing it to influence you greatly like I don't use my Instagram to msg women unless I'm making like a reconnection from the past

Its only a powerful tool if you care about it.
If you don't it is worthless.

That's my entire point you missed. I said the people who DO flaunt their wealth are usually the people who were born into it and never had to work for it. I know some people who were born into wealth but their families only gave them very modest amounts of money and told them they had to find their own way and earn it themselves. They gave them the best education and support you could ever expect but they forced them to do the work themselves. That's the way it should be.

Obviously some who were born into it don't, all I said was the flaunters typically come for the subset of the people born into it who don't work hard.

DO flaunt their wealth are usually the people who were born into it and never had to work for it.

It happens but still it is incorrect because if you come from a wealthy family you learn from early age from your parents that it is a huge taboo to flaunt around with the family's wealth. And there is very good reasons for that because for example; there is a security risk involved: there has been many cases of robbery, hostage/kidnaping situations etc. over the years and but by not showing there is nothing to tell.

It's people that want to be rich or the nouveau riche that flaunts it and shows it off - usually. There is always exceptions like Paris Hilton as an example.

For some weird reason common people tend to have this idea I think (From movies, mainstream media, TV I guess which sells it, I suppose), that if you're rich then you just party all day, have Rolexes and expensive tailored/brand clothes, Ferraris, Lambo's and flies private jets all day long.
That is far from the case.

you get all sorts. you can't put people in boxes saying if born into wealth they do x, or if they earnt it, they do y.

you get 'millionaire next door' types and posers at all levels, regardless how they earnt it.
