If you had a better job, more prestigious title, better car or house etc. do you feel like it would positively effect your dating life? Before people get bent out of shape, this is not a gold digger thread. This is a male perception thread on whether men thinks it makes a difference or not.
When it comes down to it a lot of male behavior all revolves around finding the best mate we can get.
This video was from the Dr. Phil show and I thought it was pretty interesting as well. Ignore the title of the video please I can't change that, don't want to start a flame war.
A nice house and some spending cash helps, but I'm sure if I could find a woman with money who spent it on me, I'd like her a little more then other girls I've dated also
Honestly the only one holding you back from a successful dating life is you and no one else but you.
You have what appears to be a need to be labeled and have justification from others that women are exactly as you think they are without actually going out into the real world and finding out on your own.
Not every woman is after what you can give her or do for her, some of us actually love our men because they are who they are without all the outside influence.
Edited to add: The answer to your original question is no, it would not change anything (in my opinion) because you are who you are no matter how much money or status you have or think you have.

I don't think that there's anything wrong with a woman that wants a guy that has a stable job with a decent income, a place and isn't drowning in bad debt.
Those are the same I'd want a woman to bring to the table.
Like you mentioned.... couldn't hurt if she had a few duckets and had a hankering to spend some on me.....
But... as a guy this isn't something that I actively thought about when I was younger and single, I was just focusing on school and getting a job and figured it would fall into place.
I don't think I would really want a woman that had a big thing for money, I mean, once you get past the basics and are living a decent lifestyle having a ton of money doesn't really change your day to day existence... at least it wouldn't for me....
Yes and no, I think being successful with women is more than driving a nice car, having a career. So many other factors.
There are wealthy people who do not have successful romantic relationships. Heck look at some news stories, a woman cheats on her husband who may have a great career, with a teenage boy.
I should say that people who have their "Shi%" together are more attractive candidates for romantic partners. But again it varies by case, nothing is one hundred percent.

That "pool boy" thing has something to it..... but yep you're right it isn't always money.
It seems to me 'no' and 'no difference' are the same thing. I said no, the question was undimensioned and I had to make some assumptions. If I was hypothetically a Billionaire, then I would say yes, because that is an entirely different strata of wealth.
There's absolutely no question that a man with money is going to be generally more attractive to women. EG: I knew a salesman who as late 40's tall, rugged looking but not handsome. Yet, he always had money to spend, as he could put the entertainment on his expense acct. He would go into a bar, pump some cash down and start drinking and socializing and buying drinks. He had women he could call up all over his territory. One night he was in my town, hold up in a nice hotel, with a very attractive lady in her mid-30's. He calls me up and asks my wife and I out for dinner in a very nice restaurant. He pays for the whole thing.
All you have to do is read forums and internet chat. Women are not interested in men who live with a parent and don't have jobs or jobs that don't pay much. Myth Busters did a test on this and it was "confirmed." How else do you get a room full of women to show up to meet a millionaire who is interested in getting hitched?
