Take two identical men height, looks, and game wise:
Guy A: Lives frugally, buys a decent 1 bed for himself with cash after saving for a decade plus and has no mortgage. His savings beyond that are invested in mutual funds.
Guy B: Same income as A, but takes out a jumbo mortgage to live in a penthouse. Buys a sports car. Lives on negative equity on his home and has no savings. Eyeballs deep in debt but his high income keeps things ticking over.
Guess who gets much more action?
Its not income, its status. The penthouse and sports car give status.
I feel its an arms race to get laid - if other men are irresponsible financially to get action I have to be as well.
Of course we can still pull as is, but the quality is not as good, just 6s for sex and anything beyond a first date.
