re: Modern women have really lost their minds with financial dating standards

I think people underestimate the number of desperate/lonely men who also make a great living. It's a subset that people don't think about; people assume if a guy has money he must have a ton of women. Many don't.

There are a lot of guys with considerable resources who haven't improved themselves anywhere else. They're happy to exchange that for time with women, and these women are just reacting to that.

Also I don't think these women care as much about how much the guy makes. It's more about a guy that's willing to spend what they have. They are not willing to date a guy making $500k, hell even $1m+ if that guy isn't spending any of it on her. They see no value in simply being in proximity to money. They'd rather the guy making $100k that'll blow his entire check and go on trips whenever.
