Just about anything a man does to convey wealth on the app other than listing their college if prestigious or career if impressive comes off as tryhard.


+1, it's not easy to let women know you're loaded without looking cringeworthy on most sites, other than maybe those millionaire matchmaking or sugar sites. But I would feel really dirty using one of those.

Then got off the apps and go somewhere that character and strong values are king. Or do you not have those either?

How do I meet women like you in real life?


Don't men get the same advice that women do on this?

- Live your life. Sign up for groups and activities that you are interested in
- Tell everyone that you know (parents, friends, co-workers, random strangers) that you are looking to find someone and ask if they know anyone
- Look your best. Refresh your wardrobe, get regular haircuts, exercise regularly, eat well, don't drink too much, lose/gain weight if you need to, etc.
- Look put together whenever you go out. You never know when you are going to meet someone or run into someone who can introduce you to a friend.


Men seldom get advice on dating or relationships, and if they do the advice is bad. For example, “just do what women do” does not work for men FFS.


So, what does work for men?
I think the above advice should work for both genders, but maybe not.


Money. Seriously it’s the one thing that works.


I still think that looking your best, participating in interesting activities, and asking family and friends if they know anyone works as well as anything else.

Money alone won't attract women especially on dating apps where looks are king, and there isn't a super easy way to convey that you have it unless you have a very cliche career like doctor or lawyer. Can't simply list my income which is fairly high, and when I tell people what I do for a living they usually assume I make a fraction of what I actually do.


No. It is different in the age groups but there are ways to show you have a lot of money. It’s not all women but the women who are motivated by it will elbow you to the ground if you get in their way.

Being tall and confident is about 90% of it. If you aren't tall then you have to dial up the confidence.

If you’re looking for women who are psychologically fragile, these days a great tell for that is “masked” or better yet “double masked”.

You do realize that many of the profiles on the apps are fake, right?
