I have always managed to attract women, and very attractive women. I have never been even close to the top 30% of incomes. Women do want financial stability, most of them. But there tends to be a minimum. Like once the man can hold decent jobs, they enter the pool of people to fall in love with. And those decent jobs do not have to put them above 70% of other men. Sure, there are women who go for money, but as a rule. Nah.
And men have the parallel version, where looks are higher on the list. But once they find themselves attracted to the person, that minimum is crossed and from their anyone in what is a rather large pool for most men is a possibility.
Most people are pretty shallow, but even shallow people weigh in things like sense of humor, shared interests, that they enjoy the company of the other person, that they can be friends. People with just a bit more soul to them include things like intelligence.
And it’s not just that I haven’t been in the top 30%. I haven’t shown any career interest. If I can work less and get by, I do. I have issues with authority (as they say, heh) also. I tend to jump to other fields. I’ll get jobs that are pleasant with massive cuts in pay. But I pull my weight.
And that puts me over the minimum. I have other attributes that make me attractive to women, so in the pool of men who are ok finanacially, who will pull their weight, women get interested in me.
It is so fucking facile to hate all women rather than noticing what makes your life and experiences, choices and attitudes, factors in what you have experienced.
It’s like reading an incel whose on prozac and the prozac is working so you are happy to hate women.
