I went out every weekend, took OSU homecomming queens to Bengals Games, took women skiing on that little mountain and generally had my pick of the litter. My five series got me laid much more so than my mouth.
If you earn 100k in a place like Dayton you are very well off. Perhaps I am conflating money and exposure, but manyof those 8s in Ohio had never even been taken to a proper dinner before. The panties flew off for a weekend get away in Cinci....they still hit me up to this day.
...But dude, 150k in Ohio and you can put two 23 year olds through OSU and they will be at your beck and call.
Money gives options. ...

I also respect your position, at least from reciprocity, though I am profoundly baffled by it. Indeed, "money gives options", but a certain vigor of character, together with the deft bridling of luck, is required to turn options into actual success. My objective is less to "get laid", than to marry. And this is very difficult to do if you're a child-free atheist, millions or billions or trillions aside. But even if we stipulate as our objective mere casual sex, here too you have me baffled. How even to place oneself into a position where such opportunities exist? Did you drive your 5-series ponderously down the lanes of The Greene or Oregon District, waiting for flies to be drawn to the flame? Was it even an M5, or a mere 528? I'm very active in our local BMW club. I host "wrenching" events in my capacious garage. It attracts all sorts of fellows, who express their admiration at the cars and the property. I then parley their approbation in to mild inquiry as to whether perhaps they might know of a lady whom I could date. It is amazing how diplomatically a guest can tell his host, "No".
Should I perhaps go door to door, proposing to the neighborhood fathers that I'll bankroll their daughters' education at OSU or UD or UC or even Wellesley, in exchange for sexual favors? Or even marriage? And if I endow a new engineering building at OSU, would the Dean of Engineering fix me up with some precocious nubiles from his Rolodex?
