Does Money and Status become a significant factor when in 30s or 40s for attracting women

[Searcher]

our definitions aren't well-defined here.

Does a "normal 9-to-5 job and not being rich (millionaire)" include the 50-something guy making $60K/year who owns a $400K condominium after he divorced with his ex-wife and she took the kids, house, and collects on child-support payments? Or does that mean something more like a 50-something guy, renting an apartment, managing a gas station in the morning and afternoon shift?

More like a tech guy who pulls 150k to 200k a year.
For short term relationships

Overqualified for sure.

At least on the “success” side… you still need to get all other seduction requirements handled (charisma, leadership, fundamentals).

Unless you’re Jeff Bezos, there will always be women who qualify you by your income level who you cannot get.
But at 150K per year, the amount of them out there is extremely small.

So 30-50 y/o guy, pulling $150K+ per year, working a 9-to-5, how's he going to fare for short-term relationships?

At that point, success is not an issue, unless he is going for climber chicks. He makes enough that he can present himself as successful enough, even if she'd prefer a guy making more.

e.g.: charming, attractive, put-together guy, 51, dressed in stylish, expensive-looking clothes, sipping on a drink in a high-end Silicon Valley bar. Other guys there are managers making $500K+ per year. He's a programmer making $175K, hitting on a 30 y/o woman. Unless she's a dyed-in-the-wool gold digger, she's not going to be checking his W-2s or sniffing out his job title. If he goes to some dive bar where it's not a status/money-conscious place, his income is even less relevant.

Basically: once you're making enough to live comfortably, dress well, and have a decent-looking place, when it comes to short-term relationships other factors are going to take over from there:

Namely, all your other fundamentals + game.

Of course, if the guy's other fundamentals suck, and his game sucks, and his W-2 is all he's got, then yeah... he's up shit's creek in the Silicon Valley bar with guys earning 3x as much as him... so he'd better get his other stuff in order if he isn't competitive financially.

A bit off topic but you probably remember that - wasn’t there a “trick” in early 2000s used by some pua that allegedly if you put 100 euros/usd bill into your pocket you feel more alpha and it helps to attract girls?

this is retarded...
