Yea, but how many of the 1% do you find attractive/is in the right age, wealth and personality bracket?

79 million can get pared down right-quick.

It is about the people that find you attractive. Not people you find attractive.

If you want a less encouraging version, that means you have to be rejected by around 99 people before you can find one of those 79M.

They find me attractive, they'll come near. The losers and the haters will stay away uwu

I assumed the purpose was to engage in reciprocal attraction.
If the aim is to feel admired, then yea you're right.

[None]

this is not the fight against the 1% that i signed up for

It gets wilder when attractive happens as a consequence of some action or circumstance; like, kindling doesn't look like a campfire 'til a spark catches and makes you feel safe, y'know?
It's less laugh material, but I like to think that you can grow a garden anywhere, metaphorically speaking.

But yeah, give out some 'mirin,' make sure the homies know they're looking sharp and the gals are fine and maybe ping your fellow dwarf with your laser pointer until you call them cute

A solid philosophy.

If I think something positive about someone, I do try to say it. There's a relevant Gandalf quote about the little things, of course.

But does the amount of money have really matter in this situation?

Normally (and personally), I'd say no. However, my friend dated someone who only worked a few hours in retail every week. She lived about an hour away. She didn't have a driving license, a car, or much reserves to buy train tickets. Every date was paid for by him, he frequently drove to pick her up, etc.

So, for me, wealth is important insofar as you have enough to function without me.

Non-personally? Yea, loads of people date according to money. A derogatory term is 'gold-digger.'

Good luck with that. Sugar mamas are generally single for some pretty salient reason.

Experienced a fun quirk of game mechanics in SM: Alpha Centauri today. Was playing as the Lord's Believers (religious fundamentalists), and had already forced the Spartans (militiarists) and the Gaians (environmentalists) into vassalage. The University (materialist empiricists) had been wiped out by the Spartans and I. That just left the U.N. Peacekeepers (humanists), the Hive (totalitarians) and the Morgans (materialist objectivists).

The Hive had conquered almost all of the U.N. Peacekeepers' territory on the mainland, all but turning them into a sea-based faction. The Morganites lived in their own quiet corner of the world just making money. I managed to get friendly terms with the Morgans and Peacekeepers, as I ran a free market democracy and had the only army capable of protecting them from the Hive. The Believer-Hive war gets incredibly spicy when the Hive deploy a planet buster against my forces and one of my captured cities - this atrocity causes every faction to unite against the good old Chairman Sheng-Ji Yang.

Eventually Yang surrenders. With every faction either a willing pact brother/sister of me, or a vassal under me, I decide to just call a vote to elect me as supreme governor of humanity. I also had troops lined up on the borders of the Morgans and Peacekeepers just in case they changed their mind - but they were happy to support me in victory.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Everyone votes yes on the proposal. However because the Hive got kicked out of the planetary council due to their use of the planet buster, none of their votes counted, even though they voted in favour. As a result the game ran it as if they had voted no. This still ended up working in my favour as the Morganites and Peacekeepers agreed to become my vassals and unite against the Hive, but it was a rather big surprise to have my loyal Hive vassal suddenly announce it's time for round two - complete with another planet buster strike.

Yang, every time
