I've been told I'm humble to a fault.
I've got a good job that pays me well, I drive a nice car but I'm not really out here like that. I'd much rather stack my money and get on the property ladder than be out here flexing for people that don't have anything to offer other than living vicariously through the music they listen to.
You are what you attract and I'd rather put myself in a space where I'm only around driven individuals that wanna better themselves.

Exactly. Hell I was getting clowned by some friends and some fam cause I ain't got a brand new car and ain't wearing a bunch of name brand clothes and shyt. Keep in mind I'm making double what most of them is making. Most of my money is spent on vacations or going out making memories and throwing some in the bank. Be the same ones bytching about being broke too.
It probably costs me some female wise not being real showy or flashy but my thought has always been if a woman is attracted to me because it looks like I have money why the fukk would I want to be with her.

Im talking about in life. Brothas out here buying jewelry, cars, watches, just to flex
People show you more love when you're shining with some jewelry and a nice ride. Thing is, im not a dude who needs to brag alotgot me out here upgrading my chain, about to cop a pinky ring with diamonds in it
(I got some extra money for some work i did this past summer)
Picture dudes like Wale/Nas/AZ vs Jay/all these new Atl rappers with all this jewelry on. I wanna know if this is just a fact of life (that you gotta stunt to a degree) or am i trippen
nikka fukk no
.IMO that money will look much sexier sitting in your bank acct than it will on your pinky finger.
Live your life how you want it, breh.

God loves humble people.
when your not humble that means your, your own god and you never ever had help or a break from someone

This. Especially #3. You have no idea how many "flashy" dudes almost got their girl taken by "humble" me; I've met these cats too. Shook their hand and everything and they had NO problem with their girl hanging out with me cause I don't present myself as a threat 
. Luckily for those dudes I'm too old / too lazy / and have too much pride to be the side dude. But I'm sure the next dude took advantage.

It is, Breh. I was talking about both.
Not really talking about buying bottles at the club, or tricking on women. Just more so about staying in some fresh clothes with real jewelry. Not some gold plated ish
. I been lifting weights for 6 yrs so that's always been my lane..I'm seeing now you miss out on a handful of women if you're not out on the scene. Let's be real, I'm 22 and these women don't care if my 401k and Roth IRA are looking goodAnd personality/character too..I lift weights and ppl ask if I played football. Then they're surprised when I'm real laid back. Like I'm supposed to be loud as hell all the time
Like I said in the OP, picture a dude with AZ's personality (just an example). Lowkey dude who has $$, handles his business and stacks his bread. VS some dudes who HAVE to let everyone know what moves they're making. Wearing flashy Shii.
I've literally had women tell me why don't you go out to some clubs and bars more, and some didn't know I even had a job, just assume I don't have anything productive going on. Like I'm just going to class, not looking towards the future lol
I was taught not to brag and flash
Other people might look at you with envious eyes and that isn't a good thing.
Whatever you have that other people don't isn't something you earned yourself.
You're just lucky enough to be born to the parents you have, to receive that good education you got, to land that $$$ job, to profit from the society you live in.
So it isn't right to flash as if it was all by your own merit.
But think about it though, if you were truly rich, beautiful or good at something you wouldn't feel the need to stunt on people.
When you are the best at something, you don't feel like showing off. Why? Because you yourself know you're the best and unparalleled. The confidence you have is genuine.
But when you feel the need to stunt and flex on people you're lowkey insecure...because you need other people to affirm how great you are. You're dependent on their approval.
You dont know it but you're making up for something that's lacking within you.
And tbh arrogance and being showy are really ugly qualities.
OK, you have really expensive cars and watches but so what? Does it make you a better person? You spent all that money on what? Someone's name on a bag? A piece of metal that is more expensive than some other type of metal?
You were privileged enough to earn that much money and this is the result?
To achieve something for the sole purpose of bragging is meaningless
People that want you because of what you have, whether it be money looks or status aren't people you want in your life
They are of 0 benefit
