That's just asking for trouble. Plus it's rude.

I don't tell them what I make...
It's obvious that I'm well off with $5k living room furniture, 42" plasma, new computer, new car, nice diningroom and bedroom set.

It's actually quite hard to hide what I make...
The average income here is $30k per person (not household), I'm at $62k and likely will be at high 60's in Feb.

I like to pat myself on the back sometimes and this results in an obvious sign of wealth in a poorer community.

dude seriously now..come on you made it seem like your bill gates moving into ethiopia...

Because even with the average at $30k, most of the women i meet are waitresses or healthcare workers who make less than that

These women are living paycheck to paycheck and my income is fairly apparent.

You don't see this as a bad thing?

Dude- reality check: You only make $62k.

You're not a baller, sorry. And moving to a hick town where people think that $62 is really wealthy is just plain lame.

Reality check #2- you only make $62k, yet you've already bought yourself $5k living room furniture, 42" plasma, new computer, new car, nice diningroom and bedroom set. Dumb.

He says he saves $2K a month. He only makes about $3K a month. That means his bills are only $1K. Car, insurance, rent, utilities, food, all the toys, etc.

He's a financial genius!

Here's to hoping you get a nice old fashioned hick-dealt asskicking. :beer:

The thing is. "wealthy" people don't ever say what they make. I had some yahoo just come out and say "hey, you're doing well...what do you make? I hit 100K by june...how about you?"

"no comment please. I do just fine."

Anybody that flaunts what they make or their possesions generally is not "well to do".

No self respecting man gives away his income or worth. If you want to compare income, be very wary of the guy that absolutely will not reveal his net worth or income. Most likely he could buy 10s or 100s of you.

 

[erub]

dude, my net income is as much as you and I'm still IN school..how about that guy who goes to Emory University who runs the chair website? and as far as the ladies, well they don't want me for my money, they want me for my smashing good looks haha

so true

 

[SmoochyTX]

Hey baby!

 

[lyssword]

On the other hand, if you try to hide your valuables, ppl will think that you don't trust them or you are fake.. 62k? I wouldn't worry too much about it

 

[simms]

ROFL my friends who aren't even done university start off higher than you...

Yes, worry about it. Be socially inept. :thumbsup:

 

[DayLaPaul]

No comment other then to say that better not be $62k Canadian money.

[Imdmn04]

Men making twice as much as their spouse is pretty common.

Like others have pointed out, the difference is nothing, nothing to worry about.

Stunt-
I find it's best to decide what women YOU want to go after, i.e. don't spend your time waiting for them to come to you. When I used to wait for them to find me I was less then trilled about what brought them to me (I'm a well paid Ph.D.). If you're like me and like smart chicks, show them that you have something to say, treat them well and let them know that your doing things with your life. The real advantage of liking smart women is that they are often less interested in money and more interested in what they are going to do in their lives

Typical Queens grad.



What'd you do, stick around in Kingston? No wonder you make so much compared to the average. That place is a sh!thole.

Should have gone to UofT

I know that.
But for a guy my age (23) and relative to those i date...there's a huge difference.
Should I hide or shouldn't I hide...clear question.

You should always hide or downplay your financial success, just on general principle. It's rude and low class to flaunt one's wealth.

Stunt you have given me pretty good advice in my other threads so I will say nothing right now

No problem

I know this thread sounds bad...but it's a legitimate concern when you are in a community full of people who are more than willing to find a guy they can live off. Also if they know you can pay child support, they will do what they can to get that out of you.

Not saying all the women are like this, but it's there.

That's why you should just stick with hookers.

 

[DaShen]

Give me your money... then you won't have a problem. j/k j/k

It really depends on what type of girl you are looking for. The money insecurities are a two way street. If you feel comfortable revealing how much you make, no big deal. If you are the type who usually flaunts your money, chances are you are only going to attract a certain crowd of females.

Although I do not make all that much (average for a entry level programmer), I don't flaunt my money around regardless. I don't put on airs with people (or at least I intentionally try to be as genuine as possible). You do that, and the people you attract will be genuine to you as well.

 

[jlbenedict]

I'm trying my hardest to figure out how you get all these dates and women just pounding down your doorstep. All of your YAGTs are from huge idiotic proportions. If those pics of you from your YAGTs are really of you, you're really not even close to being all that. You would get laughed at and humiliated around here. You boast of plasma's and $5k living room furniture, makin all that dough of $62,000 yearly, yet move to some bunb fvck Egypt of a town to make yourself feel adequate. You're cool :disgust:

As someone mentioned, self-respective individuals rarely boast about possessions, physical property, etc. and why should they? They've worked hard to achieve their success and why should they stoop down and degrade someone that isn't as well off as they are? Only jerks like yourself use their piddy patty $62k and look down on everyone to make themself feel like you are "all that". You carry yourself around like a "Box of Trix", but in reality you're no better than the bag of generic corn puffs that cost $1.99 at my local Walmart. Get some mental help.. seriously.. you are not all that.
I live in the country, up in northern Maryland. There are people around here that would own your sorry ass. A reality check for you: you are not the center of the universe.
You're a fvcking tool, if you want my honest opinion and I'm definately sure others in ATOT will agree.

Seriously STFU... you only come off as a pretention jackass. 60K is out-of-college starting salary, so get over it. There is no money effect. Nada. Zip.

New York City does not even compare to southwestern Ontario. you don't know what you're talking about.

OP, since we're comparing e-penises, when I was your age, I had close to a million in liquid assets and drove a new Porsche paid in cash. Not once did I worry about women being attracted to me for my money. Back then I made in a single day what most females I dated made in an entire year.

and then you woke up

Kingston's nice, but isolated. I used to live in Gananoque when I was little... no way can I live there now.

Very funny thread. Thanks for the comedy.

Agreed. Awesome thread! ATOTers rock at bashing lol :thumbsup:

 

[skace]

You've made it into an issue before anyone could do it for you. And in doing so you've caused many negative reactions. The fact that you even worry about how much you make and what the poor locals are going to think shows a side of your character that others would consider ugly.

 

[krunchykrome]

You might make twice as much as the average Joe in that blue collar city, but you're probably on par with the rest of the country. So I'd just forget about it.
