Red pill ‘alpha’ guys claim wealthy men don’t care about a woman’s background and will date poor women, yet they often mock women seeking rich men. In reality, wealthy men tend to date within their social class. Look at Jeff Bezos, David Beckham, or Leonardo DiCaprio—these men date successful women who are already rich or from wealthy families. Even with large age gaps, the younger partners are still well-off. It seems red pill guys overstate the idea that rich men don’t care about a woman’s status when, in practice, they do.

    Relationships are a large part being able to accustom and acclimate to each other’s lifestyles and lifestyle expectations. It probably goes without saying that could be difficult for people who come from completely different economic means.

    I don’t have a problem with women whose financial status is less than mine, but I don’t date, so I can’t answer from a truly personal perspective.

    Even before we get to whether they care about a woman’s status, to even meet a woman of significantly lower status they’d have to do a lot of elbow-rubbing with the lower classes. If you’re famous that would honestly be a PITA even if you weren’t a complete asshole.

    Always have. They’ve got a complex about dating out of their tax bracket. There’s special dating websites for the rich to meat eachother, filter out potential gold diggers
