One of the biggest lies that props up the current version of American society is that money or "prestige" is the key to getting access to more and/or better pussy. Fact is that the lifestyle required to have many of the careers that can lead to great wealth leaves you with very little time to pursue outside interests, including studying game and chasing girls (or god forbid taking a long vacation to see the world or have a fulfilling experience).
Yeah there may be some women who are attracted to someone with a "baller" bankroll, but if you're busting your ass 80 hours a week you're just not going to have a chance to run into many of those women in the first place, and even when you do meet them, your game's not going to be as tight because you spend most of your time working instead of approaching girls. It's a huge opportunity cost that goes outright unrecognized by a lot of people who think that slaving away to eventually make the big bucks is a good long-term plan for getting lots of ass or a hot girlfriend/wife.
I see this also in my field (medicine). Lots of med students settle for long-term girlfriends in the 5-7 range (often other med students whose schedules are as crazy as theirs) because it's perceived as too much work to go out and chase pussy constantly when they need to be studying or waking up at 4am for their call shift or whatever. Even the attending physicians who have supposedly "made it" end up marrying mediocre-looking chicks (again, often other doctors) because even after residency they're still working 60-80 hours or more and have little control over their work schedules because they're constantly beholden to their patients, the hospital, and what have you. And this is after completing 4 years of medical school and 3-7 years of residency/fellowships, when you're likely to be in your early-mid 30s! Yeah, you're a hotshot surgeon making over 200K now but you missed out on a lot of experiences to get there, your wife still looks like a horse, and your life still sucks.
Probably the best thing that Roosh and this forum have done for my life (beyond even learning game) was waking me up to this reality and enabling me to reorient my goals before it's too late. I am absolutely certain beyond any doubt now that I'm going into one of the "lifestyle" specialties without a particularly tough residency and where I can control my work hours to the point where I'm only working the amount required to comfortably support a life of frequent travel and other worthwhile experiences. And of course banging bitches. And my life is going to be 100 times more awesome than some overworked neurosurgeon with <10 lifetime notches and a 6 wife who he never sees anyway.
Sorry Athlone, but you do lose women chasing money. It's because chasing money costs you the most valuable commodities of all, time and the freedom to do what you want with it.
