Thanks for telling me something I already know and I found this out when I was pretty young and I don't know why it would change now. For me to do what you said I would have to become some one im not and I don't play that game.

This thread indicates to me that advertising departments across the world have won in polluting people's minds about what equates to self-worth.

Thats exactly my point because I can't stand phonies.

I was a mortgage broker, and invested all my money in venture capital stuff that fell apart with the economy, I was broker than most people can imagine, I worked 2 or 3 jobs just trying to survive. I went from living in a nice big house and driving a new luxury car to living in a 1200 sq ft townhome and driving a 1500 car. Yet I still had women hitting on me, all because the way I carried myself, because I was able to talk to them without stumbling all over myself, I have always had the ability to talk to people and make them feel everything will work out, and I can make people laugh and have a good time. I look much worse than I used to, I have less money than I used to, but I get hit on by women from the age of 22 up to a women in her 50s. And reality is that I am pretty oblivious to most flirting and being hit on, so they have to hit on me pretty hard for me to even realize what is happening.

You can't stand phonies, yet you admittedly take in women who only like you for your material possessions?

I know this is a hard pill to swallow for a lot of men here, but bolded perhaps just show that she wants a little bit more attention from him. She perhaps just wants to spend more time with him. Not necessarily means she wants more money.

Here in California, there are a lot of men and women my age (late 20s to early 30s) make six figure income, many of them (us) struggle with relationship issues just like everybody else does.
I doubt that's the case she wants to spend more time. She doesn't pay for ANY of it or contributes into ANYTHING they have together. To me it sounded like entitlement issue. They go on 2 vacations year, he takes her out every weekend to eat at nice restaurants. All those things mentioned cost significant amount of money. She think he's not generous enough even with all of these things.

Okay.

She does seem to have entitlement issue then.

You didn't read my posts because if you did you would have seen where I said I don't trust any women thats attracted to me because it never happened before I had money.

Thanks at this point im just trying to live my life the best way I can. It doesn't help that I like to spend some money on myself but I worked for it and I might as well enjoy it because I have no one but myself.
