It seems inconsistent since anyone can make money but not everyone is naturally beautiful (but no one tells men who want a beautiful wife to get plastic surgery themselves...) I feel like in the same way it’s as easy to fall for a beautiful person as a plain one, it’s as easy to fall in love with a wealthy person as a poor one .

How about upping your skills and being successful on your own. Success gets success!

My parents are worth over $60 million. We have a very large real estate empire in the area. But, we don't look the part. My parents started with nothing and worked 14 hour days when I was a kid. Example: I played sports for eight years (high school and college). They never saw me play ONCE and I did track and field, wrestling, and football.
Anyway, it's funny because so many women want to find rich guys. After college I took a $50k corporate job. Bought my own townhouse with my salary, car, etc. I never took money from my parents. Then I became a fireman. I dated a few women but never told them my family was wealthy.
When I met the women I was going to marry I resigned from the fire department and returned to work for my family's business. Now, I'm a partner in the firm that oversees all my family's properties. I live in McLean in a 6000sqft house. My wife and I both drive $50k cars (nothing too fancy) and our kids to go private school. I have two weekend homes. One on the water in the Southern Maryland and a country home in the Shenandoah Valley.
Moral of the story? There isn't one. You won't know who's actually wealthy because most wealthy people don't act or dress like it. My family has a friend who lives in PA. His net worth is $200 million. He owns over 20 strip centers from NY to NC. He drives a 20 year old Honda CRV (not joking) and he refills plastic water bottles with well water from his house instead of buying bottle water. He shops at normal department stores for clothes.
Enjoy trying to find men who are "wealthy"
You sound resentful of your parents for never attending your games and trying to pretend “never taking money from“ makes you self-made. Moral of the story? Never underestimate the self-conscious insecurity of a man whose father is worth $600 million.

Women that are lazy and don't want to work. They watch a lot of Real Housewives and want to emulate that lifestyle.

This board is 2% women and 98% men obsessed with arguing with women. It is a universal truth that wherever women congregate on the internet to discuss issues with each other, men want to butt in and argue. I once read that Jezebel has a 45% male readership who show up just to make sure everyone knows they hate feminists.

+1. High value men know a monkey brancher (the women looking to swing higher, focused on a man's wallet) when they see one, too. They aren't looking for you, OP. They want a woman who is above all feminine, pretty, in shape, cooperative, inspirational and friendly. A woman who makes their non-work hours peaceful. These type of men work hard all day, they do not want to come home to the second job of competing against you in every little thing. The truly high-value man doesn't care about your money, or your job. He has his own money. Women control access to relationships, but men control access to marriage. He holds the keys.
