When people say that money attracts women, how much money do they mean?

It means the more money you have, the more women will chase you.

$150k a year isn't really that much..

The ladies that are looking for men with money want a super nice house, fancy car for her, and NO WORK -- you can't really do that on $150k a year unless maybe you live in Gary, IN..

"A lot of money" is as relative to the women seeking a men with it, as it is to the men trying to impress the women with it. How does it stack up with one's social peers?

In some circles $40k/year or less could put you at the top of the heap, in others, sure, that might be $150k or $500k. For a few, even the big earners don't have "money" - if they did, they wouldn't have to work.

The degree to which you really want to arrange your life to attract chicks who want you for your money (or want your money and are willing to take you in the bargain) is a separate matter.

If you have to ask, you don't have enough.

About $100 an hour?

It depends on the type of women. I was in a real nice part of LA and had $5, I attracted some women.

It was previously assumed that money was a fundamental unit of attraction to a woman. Further investigation has revealed a better understanding of this very important piece of the woman's rating system. The piece which was formerly labelled money has been replaced by a money/power paradigm. The two are almost always intertwined in a way that makes them hard to distinguish, so I don't think it productive to make a chart of how they breakdown exactly. One almost always follows the other in any case.

What is important to know about the money/power piece is that previously it was thought of as static. Now we know that the money/power piece of attraction displays time-variance. That is, the amount of money needed to get maximal "points" in the money category varies according to the age of the woman. When a woman is younger her perspective is different as to what makes a lot of money. As she gets older the amount of money neccessary for full points increases.

For a girl of 16 full points for money might be obtained by having access to a car and beer money. When she is in her early college years, a nicer car and enough money to join a fraternity is probably sufficient. As she advances into her twenties what we consider to be the normal money chart will begin to manifest itself -- that is, she'll want the richest man she can get.

At no point that we can discern does money ever not become a factor. Take any guy. Take a woman that has that guy. In no circumstance that is known would she not rather have a guy just like that, but with more money. Actually, maybe in one circumstance -- when the guy has enough money to buy her basically everything she wants. This is self-evident, I should think.

That last statement is misleading. You could swap "money" out for any positive attribute and the statement would still be the same. You could also swap the roles of the guy and the girl. What guy wouldn't take a girl exactly like she is, except richer?

Sensible women look for potential husbands with stability, values, and enough money to support a family and retire.

it's all relative ...

if your universe is the trailer park, and you are the top dog with the double wide and 2008 F250 - then that is all you need.

if your universe is SoCal then "money" takes on a whole new reality.

What Cincinnati said...

i don't want a woman who is attracted by money. in the future, ladies, please don't pretend to tease till you find out i'm poor and don't give a #^%$$%$%^#$%@#%@#$@#$^%$&$#%@#$ about how much money anyone has.

LOVE CONQUERS ALL

It's not about how much money you have, it is about how much money you SPEND!!!

the last statement says very little. It holds true for any normal good (i.e. potatoes are excluded) and does not help us gain a deeper understanding of women. I'd like to know the what women will give up for more money, for example looks, personality, morals, etc.

Is the marginal trade off for money vs other goods a constant function or does it have a logarithmic shape?

I think in this part of the country, the Northeast, serious real money has got to be at least $5 million and more likely $10 million. And it's quite likely higher than that. There are some serious fortunes being made here at a very early age; some people are just really good and lucky at playing with money.

A few $20 bills is all it takes.

It all depends on so many factors it is impossible to give a clear answer. I work with many people who receive an SSI check (which is only $623/month this year in VA). In some circles a man who is approved for an SSI check is a catch. In some circles any man who owns his own house and car (and presumably has a full time job) is a catch. All depends on what your perspective is.

You see, the trend needs to be reversed. I would rather be with a decent looking chick that earns a crapload of money(and thus will allow me to be lazy, drink beer and train) than be with a hot chick that makes me have to work my ass off for money to get by.

Sooooooo, where are all these decent looking women. You know, the somewhat dorky ones hiding behind plain suits and thick eyeglasses. Making the big bucks. That's right, I want you. And other men out there with dreams and goals like mine. So should you...

This is a good answer. Sure there are materialistic, superficial women out there, but you may not want to attract them. For sensible women, it's more important what you do with your money than how much you have. Are you smart with your money or are you in debt? Do you have a career you love? Do you have your own place or do you live in your mom's basement? Stability, maturity, values, etc. are more important than how rich you are.
