I wanted to ask this just out of curiosity to hear about what your observations have been on this.
For me, it is strictly based on chemistry with that person. I have gone out with a guy who was a good friend but I could not get intimate with him. It was like kissing my brother. He made a lot of money and always took me out on the town when we went out.
Then again there was this guy I met at a dart tournament and we hit it off so good during that evening, I took him home with me and rocked his night. We've been married for 12 years.
I have never spent money on women early on in the relationship. The most money I ever spend on women on the first date is one drink. I expect them to split the bills after the first date. I have never once had any issues getting intimate with women.
If you want them to think you are going to be their sugar daddy or their financial support then spend a lot of money on them early on. I set the financial bar extremely low so they never get in their heads that I am a free ride.
In fact, I know a couple women who consider a guy spending too lavishly early on as a potential red flag...
100% truth. A guy that tries too hard to impress with over the top gifts and dates is usually hiding something.

And this would also be a red flag (which renders the man not date worthy)
There is definitely a happy middle ground between the guy who tries to buy a woman's affection and the self centered cheapskate.
You will absolutely, positively NEVER find a woman to say this is true, whether it is or not. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide for yourself whether it actually is or not, based on your own experiences.
In my experience, MORE money doesn't make anything any MORE likely....but not spending ANY money will absolutely hurt you a good chunk of the time.
Edit: To clarify, I'm saying that the difference between a $200 date and a $50 date won't make a difference, but the difference between a $20 and a $0 often will.
All of the women I know who are likely to sleep with a guy just because he spends a lot of money on her have very low self esteem. Conversely, all of the guys I know whose approach to sleeping with women involves spending a lot of money are most definitely interested in meeting women with low self esteem, so I have a hard time feeling sorry for the guys.
