second hand has way smaller footprint. Also your take about signaling wealth is hilarious. Do you think reasonally educated women would prefer a guy with luxurious clothes? For me and my network that would be obnoxious.
There is also counter signalling which you can read about. It explains why billionaires in Sillicon Valley wear H&M t-shirts and not L&V
- tim333 6y agoIn my experience women are surprisingly influenced by what clothes a guy wears. I've had a couple of women say to me that they are puzzled themselves as to why they are attracted to guys who dress well/cool in ways that don't really make logical sense.

The luxury industry and the second market have a lot of synergy. >Do you think reasonally educated women would prefer a guy with luxurious clothes? They do. Women much prefer men who aren't negligent about their appearance. And it's not just about bling.
