"Basically nothing less than a multimillionaire rich guy with a sweet car and a six pack who will take her on regular holidays on a yacht." The millionaires I knew were total workaholics. They didn't really go on holidays, just business trips.

Doesn't mean you shouldn't work ya ass off, though. Money don't last forever, mate! 🤷‍♂️ I spent a fair amount of time selling what was left of my granddad's art collection. Quite a bit of flights. Not as fun as it sounds 😅.

Those tend to be guys who end up spending the principle, tho. And their whole existence tends to be weird. Or they have a big trust fund and they spend all day at board meetings and philanthropy projects, and etc.

I can't deny that. I have a decent number of childhood mates whose pockets are nearly empty now! 🤷‍♂️🙄 They spent the majority of their inheritance on partying and going on expensive vacations and whatnot. Many of them seem to have very little, if any, ambition whatsoever. To be frank, this is fairly common behavior. Luckily, my parents taught me right.

Yeah, I know. Know plenty of them. They would have been better off skipping the bimbos and marrying someone sensible, who would have made sure to secure their fortune, instead of helping them spend it. But sensible women probably wouldn't have wanted them.

Its such a bizarre mindset, imo. 🤔 People like that will put in an immeasurable amount of mental and physical effort in to flaunting everything they've got. Yet, put absolutely none in to expanding their generational wealth for their children (if they ever have any that is). Blokes like this usually just end up leaving their kids with nothin' but debt. 🤷‍♂️ And usually have fairly dysfunctional families.

They don’t grasp this dichotomy though. The 8 had a sugarbaby trip to the US, business class flights and nice hotel for a week and the guy was off working all week - he just took her along as a side piece to bang at the hotel. She cried and complained to the friend group about how she felt used 🙃 It’s not that their expectations are just a bit over the top, that i could understand. It’s that they’re completely disconnected from reality. They also don’t seem to grasp this basic numbers game of how many girls are competing for so few of these high status men. Talking tens or hundreds of thousands of women for every one of these men, none of those few whom have the spare time for that lifestyle they want, but the girls all seem to think they’ll get what they want eventually.

It's an incredibly multifaceted dilemma. The two largest and most influential determinants seem to be that all forms of media (which the youngest of our global population seem to be obsessed with) have essentially become a means of indoctrination for the most mentally vulnerable (which we seem to have in abundance these days) and sky high living expenses. I could go on but, I'm no author. 😅🤷‍♂️
