Let's say the guy was making $150K plus a bonus. However, he worked so much that he never goes out and doesn't really have any close friends but maybe just a lot of buddies he networks around with. In other words ... the "rich loner". Could he still find an attractive golddigger woman or would it be just as hard as an average joe? How much money would he need to be making?

Yea. It helps.

All of the doctors I know (all of whom are making 110K+) are either married or have a number of prospects. One in particular that I know would probably be struggling if he didn't make 200K+.

But you have to make enough to support 2 people for it to REALLY help you. Women are attracted to the idea that they won't have to work if they don't want to.

With that going for you, a semi-unattractive guy who makes 125K could probably be as good as an average looking guy who makes 80K in some women's eyes. For instance, it might move a guy whom a woman considered a 5 into a 7, but it won't turn you from a virgin to Don Juan by any means.

On the flipside, if you don't make a lot, it will be a turn off to some women.

You'll get some hottie if you're rich, but don't expect any of those hotties to offer anything else.

Does a man have a shot at getting an attractive woman if he's just rich?
Yes! But the type of woman he attracts will be after his bank-account before anything else.

My thoughts exactly. I'm shy and reserved but have other things going for me like a good heart and good job. I can be funny too. I'm just wondering if an attractive woman would actually end up dating a guy like that who happens to be rich. I know most women care about social proof but maybe there is a small group of attractive women out there who don't care about all of that B.S. and simply just wants to be the golddigger wife for a rich man.

If a man "advertises" himself based on the level of wealth (and if he has enough wealth) he can and will find a (certain type of) woman willing to spend it for him. However, if a man is seeking to attract a woman solely based on his money than he should not expect "true" love, loyalty, fidelity or anything beyond "obligatory" sex (after she gains access to the money, of course).

Is this coming from an ADULT male because there are already a lot of threads about this.

Yes, a RICH man can attract an attractive woman, mostly a golddigger.
No, a guy doesn't have to BE RICH to land a date.

There are women who want the PERSONALITY to go with the man whether he's rich or not.

Of course. Let's forget about personality in this thread. We all already know that. I just know enough to know that I don't have the swagger and social skills most attractive women look for. What am I asking about is whether there are attractive women out there who will go for a guy just based on his money alone and still treat him with respect (aside from the fact she's using his money)? How realistic is this really? I want to hear from more women about this.

The OP says he is looking for an attractive woman...looks like you will get exactly what you are looking for..an attractive woman and if that is all you want, I am sure you can get that. I suspect you are not looking for anything else since it seems you only looking for a hottie...does she have to be smart, does she need to be working....does she need to be mother material? Maybe all of that is not necessary but I'd question it..
