How hard is to meet girls while living the frugal lifestyle?

Are you frugal or un/under employed?

Many men who post on these sites seem never to have met a woman with a graduate level job, or possibly not even a job at all, so the views tends toward the incel range.

Among college educated women with their own apartment, there's a growing awareness of predatory guys, not just due to the Tinder Swindler on Netflix, but cocklodgers in general.

Most people prefer to date their equal in terms of education, ambition, status, housing, etc.

So expecting a woman with a decent career and apartment of her own is going to be a lot of red flags if you expect her to downgrade in terms of what she can provide for herself. Outwith college years and a few years after.

So you are probably better dating women at your own level or below, or maybe women from third world countries or single moms with fewer options. A lot of women are going to assume that a guy who described himself as "frugal" is just too lazy to work or is trying to swindle them out of their cash or income.

Even though the women who are materialistic and money obsessed think they're good at hiding those pathetic characteristics, they really are not. It's so easy to spot these gold diggers. Most of them ain't too bright anyways, hence why they're desperate and one dimensional. Desperation is always easy to spot. But the thing is, some guys will still think with their Ds and and not their heads. Even if they realize she's a gold digger, the affection and sex is worth it for a subset of gentlemen. It usually does not end well. And if you marry one, you will lose half your assets in due time. That's why id rather put a milly on red at the Red Rock Casino (not that I'd do that either)  than risk losing that on a marriage coupled with the emotional harm. Doesn't mean i won't entertain the institution of marriage in my lifetime, but I will certainly analyze it thoroughly before proceeding. And full disclosure: I have bought a ring and have not proposed although I would like to consider my girl a unicorn because she's given me all her money rather than wanting all mine and I'd consider that exceptionally rare. 

You have a very narrow stereotypical idea of what constitutes success. Having those 3 material achievements have little to nothing to do with actual happiness and well being. You can have those 3 things and still be just a miserable jerk. It's not what you have. It's what you're like. What values and principles you live by are much more important that if you have a beast vehicle. One day you will know what I mean.

I don't think the OP is right, but you are misconstruing his point. He didn't say that the elements he listed constitute success or lead to happiness. He said he believes that they are necessary to date the cream of the crop women. Again, I think he's wrong, but let's at least argue the point he's actually making. 

There seems to be some cognitive dissonance here. If a frugal lifestyle appeals to you, then you are not going to meet or date women who value looks or appearances more than frugality/simplicity. What does cream of the crop looking mean to you? What do you want out of life? What do you value? Do you value simplicity/frugality or do you value appearances?

I lease a KIA Forte and do Okay on the dating scene.
