The fact still remains that no matter how much money you have, what your position in life is, if you are famous, or have a car collection that is worth billions of dollars.
You are still YOU and that is the part that is attractive or not to most women.
Until you, yourself have the qualities that women want no amount of anything else is going to improve your dating/relationship life.
For instance, there is this girl I know. She comes from a very well-to-do Jewish family who has a pretty big presence in the area I live in now. She probably could have had just about any successful guy in town solely due to her family's status and wealth. But guess what? She wanted to be with little 'ol me from the wrong side of the tracks. I came from nothing. I make good money now, but I'm not what I'd consider wealthy. Why would she come after me when she would, according to you, go for the best that she could get? Apparently she liked me for my other endearing qualities though. It most certainly was not my check book.
I can see why. Her best is not money obviously. Her best is you plain and simple.
I will take a Marine over a doctor any day. Everybody's best is different.
Yeah, I get it, and people do tend to strive for the best they can get. But doing the best they can isn't on a sliding scale from $ to $$$. It's about finding what makes them happy. For some people, that's money. For others, it's a whole list of other factors. For instance, there is this girl I know.

Your attitude kind of reminds me of my friends back in my blue-collar hometown. It's that hood-rich mentality you're subscribing to (I bet you listen to a lot of hip hop, right? don't worry; I do, too ). Like my friends, you seem to be stuck on the idea that material wealth and status symbols define you as a person. To give you a better idea of what I mean, I have friends back home driving around $40k leased cars when they're only making no more than $35k/yr and they live at home or with roommates. They have the same mentality that this is what's going to bring in the ladies (or the guys), and yet, most of them are still single.
For me, it's all about how I feel about, and with, him.
oh man never mind, it'll take all night to try and explain this to you and even then you probably won't get or realize it's a generalization and true for the most part.. I'm going to sleep.
I completely understand what you're saying. I'm just telling you that I don't think it's as prevalent as you're making it out to be. Maybe in your world. But not in the world I live in now. Back when I was living in my old hometown, it was much more prevalent. It was that blue-collar hood-mentality. The term they used to use was "hood-rich" to describe being well-to-do while on welfare. Those people truly believed it was the material goods and status symbols that defined them as a person and attracted other people to them. It's an entire culture, and I'm guessing one that you've been brought up in yourself.
WTF is wrong with suits? A nice wool coat is pretty nice in the winter.
Nothing at all... for people who like suits.
