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.
- harrall 1y agoBut 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.
- 4gotunameagain 1y agoJust make sure to not mention all those efforts to your date partner, lest she cringes out of existence :)
- IshKebab 1y agoProbably shouldn't be dating anyone that thinks self-improvement is something to look down on.
- 4gotunameagain 1y agoSelf 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.
- wiseowise 1y agoThis 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.
- 4gotunameagain 1y agoBased on the fact that you just wrote "streamlining process of how to become desirable", we will probably never see eye to eye on what is cringe :)
- wiseowise 1y agoWhatever helps you sleep at night.
- IshKebab 1y agoYeah honestly I think this attitude is shit. Maybe you were born with beauty and charisma but not everyone was. You're really going to say "you're not allowed to learn what I got for free"? Pretty low dude.
- 4gotunameagain 1y agoOh don't you worry, I also had to learn how to fit in the world, and I'm not particularly beautiful. But getting coaching, or thinking of attractiveness as a problem to solve, optimise and streamline ? This is where I object.
- tokioyoyo 1y agoAll of that doesn’t buy the time you spend with your loved ones, laughing at stupid jokes or reminiscing about good times.
- wiseowise 1y agoNeither is lack of money. This is pure luck and doesn’t have anything to do with how much you earn. This whole “money doesn’t buy happiness” is pure grade copium for poor. “You can have all the money in the world, but I have my dear one”
- fragmede 1y agoSure it does. Your friends are only available at their house on the day before Thanksgiving? Fly there and then leave to your private jet to fly to your parents for Thanksgiving.
