Women desire _more_ than a wealthy man. They also preferentially select for "masculinity"[1]. So while a rose / perks signal wealth, At least anecdotally women also seem to have a bit of a resentment/disdain for using apps at all. They want a man with the "balls" (so to speak) to approach her, talk to her, not be afraid of rejection, have options but choose her[2].
So long as you can express enough of these signals, wealth beyond her income level won't be a deal breaker.
[1]: please just forgive this term as a stand in for the personality traits that express in people with sufficient testosterone and success as defined by the society.
[2]: this point is just common sense across all genders... having options but choosing one is a form of backing for a compliment. Choosing her out of a pool of no one else is not flattery, it's desperation.
- pphysch 4y agoAnd men also desire more than just a beautiful woman. But these are the single best indicators, evolutionarily speaking. Wealth historically indicates hard work or power, which in turn indicate masculine traits. Beauty historically indicates good health (childbearing) and self-care, which in turn indicate feminine traits. These indicators can definitely be gamed, but they define the game for a reason.
- standardUser 4y agoThat's a lot of words and odd formatting just to say that "women dig confidence". But it is of course very true!
