Lopsided in whose favor? 5% of BM make 100K or more compared to 3% of BW. Unfortunately, a lot of BW aren’t attracted to the majority of those men for various reasons until they hit that wall, friend.
i'd argue that its the opposite, those females are not attractive to BM with options, who've either traveled, or dealt with women of other cultures.

These are 2 girls I'm cool with, one is 30 (nurse) and the other 39 (govt employee). In the same week, the both are complaining about the men they meet are all Broke.

Now the 30 yo has an amazing body, face not to bad either.

She's pretty broke herself always working long and extra hours and double shirts to make it. We use to mess around and kick it sometimes, but she wants a man to spoil her and help ease her financial burdens., so we never got far.

Just trying to understand her expectation I asked her, how much does a man needs to spend/help on her monthly to make her happy? She really couldn't say. I tell her, seems women want to go out weekly to dinner or some activity when you first dating. That can easily be over $500 a month. She says that's cool, but I tell her, that's a lot for a man making 100k here in DC. Here's how I broke it down to her.

$100,000 = est. $2500 after taxes bi-weekly (depending on your tax situation)

Rent easily can be 2250$, after utilities and internet, that's one check gone.

Car, insurance, gas, food, dining, happy hours, and shopping can easily reach 2000$ God forbid he likes to gamble, smokes or tricks off. Or is paying child support.
:snoop:

So it's not about how much you make per say, but how much you have to play with after all your bills are paid. I don't think most people in DC have $500 left.

Even if a man does like her a lot he might run up that credit card, but after a few months, he's going to have to slow it down.

She gets quiet and reality starts to hit her. :mjcry:


The 39 year old Govt Employee seems to be making good money, but she brags on her credit cards, so I don't know how much she really getting. She is taking a European cruise soon, says it's alike 10k. But going in debt to travel and stunt isn't unfamiliar to DC. I just know we split when we go out. She tells me that every man she meet is Broke and don't want to travel with her. She's a cute, well kept women, but she doesn't dress the best. She's from GA. Dresses like a conservative teacher id say.

I tell her, I don't know where this idea that men are making all this money came from. There's a lot of men making in DC making 100k, but to have a nice car / crib and money to play with in the DMV, you need about 130k minimum in my opinion.
I been trying to tell people this since my teens. 6 figures, especially low six figures isn’t rich. Especially with inflation and rising costs of living.

pretty sure the "westernized/social media" ones are easy to spot.

Right @MikelArteta ?

yup
but like I said folks just need to travel it will open your eyes. See chicks 10/10 cashing out your groceries. Humble ass woman retaining their cultural traditions.

Majority of these chicks in the west have no traditions, no respect for elders, couldn't cook a meal without an air fryert

Accurate breakdown of 100k

it doesn't go as far in expensive areas

and adding in inflation spiking in last 18 months, lots of people are pulling back spending on activities like going out

lifestyle creep is one thing I noticed, I was least stressed in June 2008 when I was like 22, and made the least money, but my lifestyle was nowhere near what it is today.

I wrote down a chronological breakdown of a few variables

my rent
my relative income
my stress level
any aggrrevating factors

it's not a straight line, but the stress level goes nowhere but up from June 2008 and never comes back down to the lower levels. BUT, my life expanded a lot. I was pretty much considered broke in June 2008, but I felt like I had so much money.

Were you the nikka that thought he was a high value man? :mjlol:
I'm making 70k with like 4 months of experience in my field (software development) , once I reach 2-3 years ( or less ) ...I should be receiving a 6 figure salary. I could probably grind leetcode and test the market again , but I like where I am currently.

So I would say im high value :yeshrug:
maybe semi-high value depending on who you ask.

It’s a combination of inflation and people living much grander lifestyles. Money doesn’t stretch as far as it used to. And a 35 year old man not trying to take on the debt of a 35 year old woman in addition to his own. A lot of men prefer women who make less because their lifestyles are simpler. It’s much easier to help out with a Altima payment vs a Benz.
