MythBusters: Does Money Make Men More Attractive? (3.5 Minute vid)

[iMorningstarParticipant 59]

I hear guys all the time saying that money is not an important factor in the female’s selection process of a mate (that it’s a myth).

It is not a myth. According to MythBusters, Money is more important than personality when it comes to attraction.

Answer to your question…Hugh Hefner

90 yrs old still banging 20yr olds. I’d say money is the cause, wouldn’t you say?

Put it this way….a short, fat balding guy is rich…..he can get any supermodel he wishes. If he is tall as well, which is not the main deciding factor, it is icing on the cake. Money holds %99.999999999999999 of the deciding factor.

A tranquil mind is neither happy nor sad, it is uninfluenced by external conditions.

I’m gonna have to be the dissenting voice here. I don’t like to depart from common MGTOW narratives, but in my 22 years of dating, I’ve always had a girlfriend, or romantic interest, and not one of them ever cared for my money. I drove a red £200 Nissan Micra for 8 years and it had no effect on women. They got in it witohut caring. I had an 8 year relationship in which I probably spent a grant total of £500 on her in all that time. She didn’t give a s~~~ about money, only sex and attention. Please don’t think I’m being deliberately antagonistic, because I’m not. But I really don’t understand this narrative. I’ve got money, and I’ve even tried flaunting it, to no avail. It had zero effect. All my girlfriends approached money as an equal 50/50 type of deal.

A few women initially tried to guage my wealth, but I ignored those, or avoided them. In my experience, it has always been about my personality. Sorry guys. I find women to be emotional and spiritual rapists rather than financial ones.

Perhaps I’ve just been lucky, perhaps American women are conditioned that way, and British aren’t so much. I don’t know.

I find them to be leaches in all senses… RUNNN N~~~~ RUNNN.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

Interesting point you share there, brother. I am not gonna say you are “wrong” or “right”. Any piece of information you can share with us, especially if it is a different point of view, is valuable.

A very common experience, among many men who got married, stated that their girlfriend put on a facade for many years up to the wedding day, i.e. She was on her best behavior, acting so sweet and witty, wild in bed etc. As soon as the ring went on, she changed.

Women are very cunning. If they see a man they can “afford” (i.e. based on her Sexual Market Value), she will try to get him. If she can “upgrade” (aka monkey branch) she will. If she cannot “upgrade” she will be on her best behavior with her current man, even if he is average Joe.

A tranquil mind is neither happy nor sad, it is uninfluenced by external conditions.

There is no “female sleeting process on a mate” because women don’t “choose”. They sit back with their arms folded and wait to be chosen. She’ll let the richest / best / tallest guy walk right past her.

Women generally only get to “choose” from the available men who FEEL LIKE showing interest.

The woman who scoffed at that male barista and said he “had no drive” . . . THAT’S HER BIG MISTAKE!! He could be VERY driven and that’s more likely going to be a second focus or a second job…. while he’s planning to own his own coffee shop chain one day.

She’ll flip him of because he’s pumping coffee today, and not even ask herself if he’s the OWNER. The guy moving furniture today could be nothing but a furniture mover. And in 20 years, he’ll own his own moving company with 20 trucks, and she’ll be kicking herself,

They don’t change all their lives. Let’s ask some 6 year old girls. And grab on to something, because the s~~~ gets better.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

When I started making money, I had more confidence. I walked a little taller.

Didn’t get my security deposit back, alternator went out , no big deal.

Love is just alimony waiting to happen. Visit mgtow.com.

That’s an interesting study MythBusters did there. Its good to know that “Gold-Digging” is a scientifically measurable fact of female nature. We could come up with a SI Unit for this metric perhaps, we could call it an “Anna” (after Anna Nicole Smith)? Lol.

[Chris1234Participant 353]

Yep, one of my friends didnt graduate until his late 20s, he basically had no money until in his 30’s, now he has money to burn in his late 30s. He always did ok with women as hes a decent looking guy but now hes got them lining up and the only thing that is different is his wealth. Even ones in their early 20s are chasing him, its ridiculous. So money makes a big difference!

@ Keymaster

I’ve noticed that younger women tend to seek men who are popular as they age they becomes more focused on wealth and socioeconomic status.

It’s seems to be sociological in nature. However, their might be a genetic component as argued by evolutionary psychologists who believe that women are hardwired to want protectors and providers.

@ Black Knight

I’m not trying to be a bastard, but are these women fat slags or ugly (aka: women below 5 on the California Scale)?! When guys discuss women, they are discussing women that are 5 and above. Women below a 5, I’m not sure that they are even worth mentioning.

Yeah, many of those (4.9 and below) beg for d*^% and don’t demand much. However, they will still sucker you into a marriage and place a s~~~ ton of demands on you. Plus, divorce rape you when you don’t comply.

Note: When I discuss women, I’m talking about women who are a 5 or better on the California scale. I’m not sure that a 4.9 and below even qualify as human.

a) In some areas, a 9 is a California 2.
b) What is a California 5 (half way to a California 10)? Well, you start by deleting the 75% of the population that is overweight or obese in the USA (that leaves you with 25% of the population that are HWP or better). Finally, you subtract women that are old, fugly, or have any major defect.

In other words, in the USA, it will leave approximately 10% of the population. Now, I know that sounds severe but most of these women 4.9 (and below) decided to make hundreds over thousands of bad decisions. Most of these women didn’t get ugly over night. It was a slow process that involved looking in the mirror and not giving a s#it.
