I always grew up thinking being rich or famous helped with getting a lot of women, but it seems like a lot of pro athletes don't have good looking wives or girlfriends like I expected. Then with MeToo movement, it seems like a lot of these famous men had to either pay or harass women into liking them. And then I know of a lot of rich men that just have trouble finding serious girlfriends.

Maybe, just maybe, some pro athletes aren't attracted to the same things you find attractive on a photo? People don't couple with a two dimensional image. They couple with a person.


And yup, people, despite being wealthy can be disgusting creeps, or have trouble falling in love. I have no idea how money would help someone have chemistry and a connection, other than potentially having more leisure time to meet people.

This post reads like a Mad Lib that you filled in while sitting on the toilet after watching Access Hollywood.

The internet has done a weird thing where average people have become utterly obsessed with looks. In some cases it seems to have triggered BMD -a body dysmorphic disorder that makes them see most people as ugly. If couples are not properly "looks matched" they think there is a serious problem.

Nothings changed for thousands of years. Women are still drawn to men with lots of money.

These are people who have clearly never experienced falling in love.

They have lots to weed through - I'm betting they want somebody who appreciates them as people rather than for their fame/money.

Ah, the myth of the rich.

And then there's bum self almost having to beat away women (and men) with a stick.

Like seriously, you saw me getting up from that bush. Let me work and save up money so I can get a home. Y'all really expect to love me out of a cardboard box?
