Yes, a fancy car is a DHV as long as you don't brag about it. Yes, money is a DHV. Most guys who think it isn't don't have it. You have to be more cautious of gold diggers but other than that having money is a DHV and will help you get laid. I'm surprised there is even a debate about this. Two guys equal in every way, one has a lot of money, one doesn't, does anyone really think the guy with more money isn't a better catch?

That's not the debate here. We're not comparing 2x equal guys . We're saying if you use material wealth and possessions as your main source of pickup, you will attract shallow women who will be gone in 60 seconds when you run out of the money you spent on buying them shit.

To be honest, unless you're very well off, I'm not sure it even makes that much of a difference in terms of just sex. Obviously if you're comparing someone on minimum wage with a multi billionaire, girls might be attracted to you for your billions. But if we're just talking about the difference between one person who is maybe earning an extra 20k than someone else, it isn't going to make all that much difference.

Settling down and getting a girlfriend, it might make more of a difference, but if we're talking about just having sex, then there are far more important things than earning an extra 20 or 30k than someone else. I would even argue that the billionaires attracting women for sex is more to do with their power and drive than their money alone. If you got someone who became rich through winning the lottery, would they get more sex from random girls in a bar than someone who is just earning an average wage? I'm not sure they would get all that much more to be honest. Whereas either a famous person, or someone who has that driven personality which is needed to become a top top businessman will make the attraction.

Yes, the money in itself is often not the reason for the attraction but more the high likelihood it is correlated to attractive traits. I actually wrote about this here as part of an article about how most women who care about money are actually not gold diggers: http://www.joshsway.com/articles/view/t ... igger-myth

The PUA community in general gets very defensive when money comes up and has a hard time isolating money from the decision making and analysis process. The reality is that money matters for several reasons. How much money makes a difference, who knows. 100k vs 120k earnings won't make a difference to anyone as you alluded to, but the world of a guy who makes 500k/yr vs 100k/yr is different, and that kind of difference, if played right, matters. Again, as you pointed out, it may not matter due to the actual $s, but it will matter.
