Ok, but what if you were to do the opposite? Being broke is definitely not a good way to get poon. It confers no survival value to women. Saying money is not a good way to get poon is actually misleading. Whole industries are based on it. It's more accurate to say "Throwing money around stupidly doesn't get women". You will just be exploited. This is common sense. But there are studies that show "throwing money around" properly does work. Furthermore studies that show women rate guys higher when they drive exotic cars.
The guys you listed (bartenders, comedians, DJ's etc) don't have money but they have a type of status. Money and status are not necessarily the same thing. You can have one without the other and get chicks in both cases. Both are attractive to women and always have been, in every country.
Status is based off off 1) positioning 2) scarcity. It's where the "exotic factor" comes from. Your "look" is scarce thus raising your status. Now if you said the guy was a truck driver, I'd say it was good game, but you need to recognize the difference between game and status. Overall those were poor examples to illustrate your point.
Eh, but what age and quality of women, though?
To be frank, having money has become a bit common. A 23 year old knows she can date young, hot dudes up until she's in her 30s, and then if she wants to shack up with a beta bucks. Older men with a few dollars looking to bang younger hot chicks are common. Good looks are not nearly as common.
These are just my personal observations. Having money does not help me with the pickup. When I first started out, I used to think it would. I'd take first dates out to nice places and get blown out by 6s. I got better results just taking them to dive bars near my house, for coffee, or ice cream. Wearing a suit and dressing fancy got me less bangs than my t-shirt and camouflage shorts. Having money does help me establish or maintain LTRs. Some girls in their 30s think it's sexy that I own a nice home, drive a nice car, and can afford to go on vacation. Others don't give a shit, because that's a dime a dozen. I'm saying this from the perspective of a guy who has money.
It's the girls in their early 20s to early 30s who especially don't give a shit. They want a "hot dude". They prefer the DJ, the bassist, the bartender, etc. Not "Hank the damaged writer who drives a nice car and has a few bucks." The younger girls prioritize looks and "coolness" over money and status. Most of the hottest girls I know who are younger are either banging or in an LTR with a good looking guy who is a DJ, bartender, comedian, musician, or works retail. It's almost always my "professional" friends who are dating average chicks or land whales. It's my friends with money and a good career who are always the first ones to throw money at a group of hot chicks. "Oh, don't worry, I'll get the check. The whole thing. For everyone here."
I'm always shocked at how little hot women give a shit about professional recognition or status. I've been recognized as being in the 2.5% of lawyers under 40 for 5 years in a row, and do you know how many times it's gotten me laid? Zero. In contrast, my little brother is a DJ and people know him from YouTube. Do you know how many times that's gotten him laid? A lot (he actually banged the 9 who blew me out with the box seats, LOL). From a practical perspective, I've found game to be much more useful. Leading with money never helps. I generally introduce myself as a "writer" instead of a "lawyer" because women find that much more "interesting." I've gotten laid more for my fucking blog - my side hobby that has some national recognition but generates no money - than my actual professional career which puts beer on the table.
In any event, let's be real here - good looks and being "cool" is less common than money. In today's society, it's also "less boring." Who wants to hear about annuities or capital gains taxes? That's like, super boring.
Also keep in mind that very good looking women make decent money in the service industry. They're usually waitresses, bartenders, or strippers, and they can subsist on the gratuity of older men who throw around cash. Those men are a dime a dozen. They don't need to date a guy with money to live a decent lifestyle. Men will just throw cash at them without actually dating them. These women are basically giant children, who have been given everything in life. With or without bangs, men have already treated them to the finest restaurants, bought them jewelry, and taken them to bottle service. They've already lived the highlife. It's common to them. They've had it, and know they could have it forever at the drop of a dime. Some beta with a few bucks would shack up with them in a heartbeat. But that's not fun.
What I've found is that the young hot ones are looking for is a "hot dude", who has a "cool" career. Granted, they'll be divorced by 30 with a kid, but YOLO...
