Money only does two real things for your dating life

Money matters in dating for two specific reasons. First, it lets you access better, more exclusive, more expensive environments where the average quality of women you meet is simply higher. If you live in a small village with a handful of attractive women, moving to or regularly visiting a city of five or six million people dramatically increases your options. Second, money buys you more time to date, and dating is ultimately a numbers game regardless of your situation. The more dates you go on, the better your eventual choice of partner. A third, smaller benefit is that money can improve the offer you make, since a trip to Dubai beats a Red Bull and McDonald's. But none of these factors are the core of attraction.
