> There is literally nothing you can't buy except. Love. I feel like Elon is finding this part out the hard way lately.

Given what we know about how he goes about making children, I don't really think love is the objective with Elon.

  There are no objectives. Just conditioned patterns one adapt to survive childhood.

  You'd think he'd have enough accolades without shooting for the title of "world's most fecund incel"...

  I think everybody wants to be loved

And youth/health. Trump may think he's on top of the world but I bet he'd trade it all away to be 25 rather than on his last leg.

  Possible counterexample: Larry Ellison, although he's at least an order of magnitude richer than Trump.

I'd disagree, once you get wealthy (and it doesn't even need to be that much), you can: - schedule beauty appointments to fix how you look - go on coaching sessions to increase your confidence and how you socialize - take people out on dates without thinking "oh that's a bit expensive" - buy dating coaches who understand the psychology behind dating and successful relationships - buy therapists to heal your past traumas Love is still not guaranteed, but you can do a lot to increase your odds.

  But usually when I buy something, (e.g. someone to change my oil), it’s so I don’t have to think about it anymore. To me, that is not “buying love.” I buy so I don’t have to do any work.

  Just make sure to not mention all those efforts to your date partner, lest she cringes out of existence :)

    Probably shouldn't be dating anyone that thinks self-improvement is something to look down on.

      Self improvement is one thing, "go on coaching sessions to increase your confidence and how you socialize" & "buy dating coaches who understand the psychology behind dating and successful relationships" are a completely different beast.

        This is just streamlining process of how to become desirable. Nerds with money can afford to even the odds VS their more successful peers who manage to do it naturally. Nothing cringe about that.
