A recent study that came out in the 2015 September '15 issue of Social Indicators Research finds that, of no surprise to Red Pill folks, women strongly associate money with feelings of love.
After analyzing the survey results, psychologists split the difference, showing that females, on average, were about twice as likely to associate cash flow with love and emotion, whereas men were about twice as likely to see money as a sign of power and freedom, though the feelings were not mutually exclusive.
The study surveyed over 100,000 participants in the UK and found that women also have a stronger emotional response overall, while men have a lesser response and associate money with feelings of autonomy and freedom.
Although there have been previous studies, this is the first (and most recent) to have such a large sample size. The link to the original paper can be found here, for those interested.
Now I ain't saying she's a gold digger...I'm just saying a large-sample independent study found that women have a strong love-associated emotional response to your cash.

I agree with this
As i get older, i am finding i love saving and putting my money in the bank
Can use it to be free. Dont like this job, fuck it, got money dont need it, can get another. Wanna go on vacation, fuck it, have the money and freedom to do so.

I always feel like money buys you financially security. I don't understand people who buy new cars or big houses with big mortgages.

Freedom is ultimately about options... Money gives you options. A man with a heavy wallet and a healthy body is free.

It may not be just that she loves the man she is with if he as a lot of money. It may be if he keeps increasing the amount of money he makes (raises, new jobs, smart investing, etc) she associates that with his love for her because he is demonstrating provider ability.
[deleted] 8y ago
I'm sorta okay with that. What I am not okay with, though, is that society teaches men that true, unconditional love exists and that a woman will love you for what you are, yadda yadda yadda...and then when men get out of high school and face the real world, there's a huge reality shock, and many men become bitter and angry for being lied to for so many years.

A lot of men get burned on the resource acquisition strategy because they fucked up and comported themselves in a manner that allows women to extract said resources.
And it is so much easier to blame the resources than it is to blame themselves for fucking up.
kinklianekoff 8y ago
Good point. Resources are attractive to women even if they don't get any of it. The power it brings means it doesn't just make you attractive as a provider. It has implications of your capabilities, which is in the realm of AF.

Dominate other man is only one strategy. Not the best one. Just because after dominating and manipulating you develop a real paranoia.
You can actually find paranoids there too scared to lose frame somewhere or too scared to fail the shit test and things like this.
It's ok to fail. It's ok to learn. And aggression creates aggression. You can easily exhaust yourself if you're going to join enormous battles with other people in order to 'dominate them'. Carefully choose your battles. That's the true spirit.
You can create services for people and this way you can create money out of the air with no need to dominate anyone. You need to put additional effort in securing your ideas and inventions of course but it's not the same 'be a big fucking dominator'.

All you should need to get laid is muscle and game, trading access to your physical/psychological power for access to her physical beauty.
However, if she wants access to your monetary and social power, then she needs to provide access to her inner feminine beauty (sweet, patient, submissive, etc).
Generally, it's a bad idea to rely on resource power to acquire pussy, unless it's an escort. Altho sometimes your money is just obvious - nice car, house, clothes, etc.
nzgs 8y ago
Exactly. Sick and tired of clueless posters here making out that money is the only way to get pussy. Not only is it not the only way, but it's not even a good way unless you're bilzerian rich. The type of bait influences the type of fish you catch. Hang out at bars with your BMW parked in the street and obviously the fish will be high-maintenance opportunist women looking to extract resources from a man. The only difference between an alphabux and betabux in this scenario is how quickly she puts out.
All the slayers I've known in real life (I work in the fitness industry) have been struggling financially. It's almost a cliche for the broke personal trainer to be banging the dickhead yuppies hot wife. Seen it time and time again, but the 2 best ways to get laid are to be a PT or be in a band or a DJ.
whatsazipper 8y ago
People still get seriously confused about AF/BB. It's absolutely not the 'bucks' that are the problem; it's the 'beta'. It's a bit simplistic, but: Alpha Bucks > Alpha > Beta Bucks > Beta.

whatsazipper 8y ago
If MGTOW is your choice, that's fine. However, in practice, most men desire sex and beta bucks provides enough status to navigate the relationship arena, assuming the person isn't entirely unattractive altogether.
renzy77 8y ago
The corollary is that women are more likely to fall out of love with you in the event that high paying job goes away. When a man becomes unemployed, he is more likely to be divorced by his wife.
The fact is, their "love" tends to vanish as soon as those paychecks stop rolling in.
nzgs 8y ago
Yes, people are very quick to overlook that reality. If you attract a woman with money she will expect money throughout the relationship, whether it's a short fling or a 50 year marriage.
It's always a terrible idea to make money the basis of a relationship. By all means, demonstrate independence and financial solidarity, but it shouldn't go further than that.

Make sure you can afford a trophy wife before you buy a trophy wife?
I never know how I feel about that arrangement. It takes time and effort to look good, and they'll probably take care of the kids (which is a lot of work), but, how do you know if there's actually love?

I just explained to a rper here how you need to control money just like you control everything else with women. Got confirmation right after my advice which is always nice. Women simply won't think logically about money

This study compares how men and women SPEND money. Men are more likely to spend money to acquire power, women are more likely to spend money as a form of affection.
Doesn't that contradict? If men don't spend money to buy affection, then how can gold diggers exist?

I like woman with big tits and wide hips, I hear ya.
redpillbanana 8y ago
I wonder if this is the reason why women are responsible for 80% of household spending.
Many men I know realize that if they save money now, they won't have to be a wage-slave later. Not many women I know think this way.

My aunt was a top 5% earner in Moscow for ten years. When she moved to America she had no things and no money to show for it. She has no idea where all that money went either. I was not surprised. Her husband on the flip side has never made six figures but has five rental properties because he knows how to save and invest.

Women are in a more vulnerable situation hence they are more sensitive to money. They are generally ill equipped to handle the ruthlessness of the world or the trials and tribulations required to survive. Their lifeline is to reel in a high earning man since money today essentially guarantees survival. It's self preservation and survival instinct in the same way that hunting skills and a gun are for a man deep in the woods.

I find this funny because I literally got downvoted for stating that money gives women tingles.

So that means money actually do buy love, and money-grubbing whores love their men (as long as they have money)?
flying_pan 8y ago
Actually no, from the article: "...males generally tend to be more competitive and define their identity via money because they are traditionally the bread winners; women identify money with home making and children."
It just means that to men, money is more likely to mean a competitive advantage, for women it's more likely to mean they can buy their kids something. Women are much more likely to spend money altruistically and to "buy" happiness.

When I was a young man an old man told me this. If you have money a woman will give you fake love that's better than real love, but when the money's gone so is she.
