The couple times I've boned a really hot girl I felt like I was on top of the world. For me, it doesn't compare - hot girl trumps over cash. Now if I ever reach the point of maybe making 6 figures in a day - then maybe that will be a different feeling.

You didn't feel the same or better that day you made 20k?

20k, keep in mind is pretty damn solid for a days work.

If you do it everyday it is $7,300,000 per year.

Honestly, I didn't. And I made the 20k in that day, but it wasn't for something I did in a day - took much longer.

I'd love to be making 20k per day every day, but that is far from the case.

I do agree with the other posters though that the cash makes you confident as fuck and changes your attitude, but for me I just have this animal attraction to hot women that when I achieve it, it is euphoric for me.

If you have a lot of money invested making 10 or 20k in a day isn't that unusual, the flip side is that losing 10 or 20k a day is also not that unusual.

Your right.

I wasn't taking about day in and out stock market fluctuations on paper.

I was talking cold hard CASH.

(Or a check, depending on your work).

Its in my blood and culture to covet and obsess over money. So Cash. A fat cheque gives me a boner just as much as a fine female.

The girl.

A big payday is too abstract, it's just numbers on a screen. While that cash can eventually be converted to goods, the girl gives an immediately pleasure explosion to my reptilian brain.

Interesting.

What if you got a spike in traffic from a mainstream news source and sold 1000 books in a day?

Or 2000?

Cash.

Immediate reactions roughly the same (if we are talking mid 5 figures in one day). However over the next 4 weeks you're still high on being richer, the girl just becomes another story, money lasts forever.

Minus inflation, but yeah, I agree. I tend to prefer achieving things that last. Fly girls are still definitely a worthy investment of your time, though.

Cash.

I've been down to dollars to my name, and its really hard to focus and get shit done when you're worrying about squeezing out dimes from Pennies to eat.

Its been awhile since, but I still get the same rush I did when I got paid then. No girl can top the freedom I feel after that

Post: #38

I've learned not to get psched up or down about money, because I have days wherein I rake in a large amount, and then I have weeks that are very slow. It all evens out.

I'm starting to get that mentality with girls.

The question becomes, why would money be so exciting? What does having lots of money promise? The answer to that is: fly girls. So, girls win out over money.

Post: #39

Money doesn't give me a rush, at least the kind of money I've seen so far, and I've done pretty well for myself.

Actually, for me, it is the opposite. Not having money gives me a rush, because all I can do is start thinking of means, contacts, jobs, and trades to re-acquire it. Sometimes I like getting close to the edge and then having a fear of failure motivate me.

Just having sex with a girl doesn't by itself give me the rush, though it's great. It's having her fall in love that gives me the rush.

Only some American girls give me a rush, its the ones that with a small-town vibe that fall in love with you easily.

I used to believe the money was just to get girls, in realty we don't want "money" we want freedom. That's why you see many people jealous of roosh (who doesn't seem to be rich) but is free to roam. Tons of cash = freedom. So cash wins over some slay that turns into a liability 4 months later. Cash? Turns into ... More cash and more freedom. I don't mean freedom just to chase girls but also freedom to say well if I want I can just leave an watch the world cup, go on a safari etc etc.

This is what most people think, but is rarely the case.

The more money you have if you spend it on material things, the less freedom you have.

Now you have cars, houses, paintings, art, etc that all start to own you.

Run a company that makes 500 million per year? My best friend does that. He would be the first to admit that he doesn't have all the freedom in the world.

This is why The International Playboy is one of the most hated people on the planet: He has Freedom and Money.

Hell, if my life sucked, I would probably hate that guy too.

You are hated by the broke guys with freedom, because you have a little coin.

You are hated by the rich guys without freedom, because you have a little freedom.

Then you are hated by the weirdos because you take a flight on Ryanair when it is the only airline offering a direct flight between two cities.

Then you are hated by weirdos that want to see "pics" of you (those are some of the weirdest).

The hate is all around.

(Keep in mind, I don't consider myself "rich" and "freedom" is still something I am work on expanding).

Freedom is great, but you don't need much cash to buy freedom.

Cash feels great when you earn it, but all you do it is spend it on better drugs (i.e. clothes/traveling/girls/booze/place to live/place to eat/etc).

Fuck the wrong bitch and you'll be paying lawyers and PIs $50,000.

If nothing goes wrong in life, then you need very little to have a nice lifestyle in the U.S. But see Murphy's Law.

Becoming somewhat non-affected about a girl's looks is a big part of getting the better game that will give you access to higher quality girls. It's a catch-22 in a way or the Heisenberg principle.

Can you have your cake and eat it too?

By the time you get to a high level of game, the girls you used to think were hot become mundane, and the average looking girls don't pass the boner test anymore. It's like King Midas.

I'd say it's the same with money. You get acclimated to making an amount, and the thrill of getting that amount looses it's potency. Keep getting more and more money, and the cycle just goes on an on.

Then, what are you going to do with all that money- it's taking up your time trying to figure this out.




Life is simple. It boils down to maintaining good Seratonin levels. Having too much money can make things more complicated. Also, all the money in the world isn't going to save you from death, and you can't fuck a dollar bill (well, you can but it's not the same..)

Agreed 100% only issue? No offense to your friend but he isn't that bright for buying fine art etc. You can stack on the side. I pretend not to have money when I am out, I am the antithesis of "flashing cash". I go the "frat boy look" v-neck and jeans, I am ripped to shreds. Then some bitch goes through and finds my paystub, reaction is priceless.

Freedom is still cash! Just don't get sucked into stupidly spending it. You're alluding to this by flying cheap airlines you're not wasting $$$! Like a smart man would.

Not to mention you called this out as well in that post "don't use money on material things" no one knows the difference

This is one of the most difficult things to do. To live below your means. The freedom aspect of money is the most important thing to me, but the things are a rock hanging around your neck. To me, money means peace of mind, but the things mean more to worry about. I want to be able to travel for long periods, so having things at home will just mean worries for me. If I had a nice house, filled with expensive things, I'd be worried about getting robbed while I was away. Okay...get someone to house sit, or better yet, rent it and make money on it while you're away. If I get a house sitter, I'm worried about who they have up in my crib, stealing from me or breaking up my shit. If I rent it, I have to be worried about collecting money, or getting someone else to collect it for me and wondering if THEY'RE stealing from me. And I'm still worried about tenants wrecking my crib. I would only need a comfortable apartment. I wouldn't need a ton of things in it, because I'm not really there much. I would want to keep my life as simple as possible.

Considering im pretty heartless and emotionless
Never had and addictive personality
To be honest..I don't even like being around people too much.

Im known for straight disappearing when the advantage is lost.

Money.
Im always working a scheme to save money or make money.

Maybe its cause im young and I see dollar signs in the future.
I wanna travel and experience life...You cant do that on women alone..you need some cash
One day the girl will be the bigger rush but for now I feel content having a couple girls to fuck with and pick a new one up maybe once every two weeks and taking a chick home from a club in a different country.
But even then..I feel like im just playing the game until i win..then I cash out and walk away from the table

It is pretty easy to live below your means when travelling as long as you still have an income coming in. The nature of travelling makes you non materialistic, everything you own has to fit into a couple of bags and if you buy new stuff you then have to carry it around.
