Wait, what is your point? I couldn't tell from your post where you are trying to go. There were two parts to my post:
- 1. first I say more-or-less what he did (close-ended), and
2. I raise up some questions regarding some choices that you have to make during your 20s (open-ended) to be in that position by your mid 30s (Dan's age).
In my mind, we're discussing #2 here. I think we agree you are going to need a lot of money to consistently live a lifestyle like his. Then the real issue is finding the balance between earning money now or later, and by logic, focusing on girls now or later. (You can't go out 6x a week and work in two bars and have a regular job at the same time.)
I guess you could make a point that you can substitute "social value" for money for in that equation (though money can help you with that too), and focus on being the bartender and working on your network now and still arrive at the same place by the time you're 35. I was just making a point that to me it seems easier to just go for the money.
I'll try to address some points you brought up, though:
most of the good paying fields are full of traditional men that either get married young after college or they are full of the raging feminazi crowd (eg: the tech industry). [...]
I didn't get what you were trying to say. Do you believe it's better to focus on advancing in a field that pays good money that you can then use to meet girls? Because then we agree here.
I raised those questions to discuss the balance of making money vs getting girls, e.g. is it worth accepting a job offer that pays an absurd amount of money to be the senior director of an oil rig in a remote location vs getting a slightly above average income in a cool city?
Money seems to scale better for me, but I'm completely open to hearing arguments against it. Franco, on the other hand, said he could always build an empire in his 50s and would just rather earn a decent income now and live life. I think that the #1 thing to be discussed.
The other flaw is that with your method of expanding your reach, you're going to get a lot of low quality people and freeloaders, so how are we avoiding those types
It's not "my" method, it's what he says he did on different interviews haha
You're not growing your following to invite nobodies, but to have such status that you can invite Steve Aoki and he shows up (actually happened). If you have 20M followers and everyone is talking about your parties, you can reach out to Instagram models with 100K followers and tell them to bring their friends, they will. After a while you have a network full of cool people.
Who says you have to be married by 40 though? I don't think that necessarily needs to happen at any age tbh, you can be single throughout your 40s and live that life IMO.
Well, nobody, but I think it's for the best to consider the possibility and plan accordingly; if it ever happens, it's going to be in your terms. A lot of shit can happen in 10+ years: you can get a girl pregnant, get in an accident, discover you have cancer or just realize you actually want to be with a kid full-time.
In any case, it still doesn't change the fact that you're gonna need a lot of money by your 40s. And just like $1 this year is worth more than $1 next year, time today is worth much more than time tomorrow (or 10 years from now). So you have to finely think about how you're gonna spend your time.
