    I appreciate the sarcasm, but that’s the thing. I don’t get it.

    I don’t know what makes wealthier people look wealthy. You can’t tell a watch is a Rolex from 20 feet away. Tailored Suit and tie? Great, everyone else wears that too.

    A house? I can’t bring that with me wherever I go.

    A car? I don’t know if you’ve met many women who care about what you drive.

      There are women who definitely care about the (quality, cost) of the car you drive. It’s one of the most obvious status symbols.

        I’m sure there are some - particularly around the Midwest there are a lot of giant truck enthusiast types - I have no idea why, other than it might say “I have a farm and big arms.”

        So your looking at a $70k vehicle brand new. Personally if I was dropping $70k on a car it would be something far more fun to drive and cozier inside. And electric nowadays. And not Tesla.

        But I guess you could still go based on brand - your Mercedes sedan is going to be way fancier than any Ford you can get.

        But there are also the types who still think Jaguar is a luxurious brand. IDK.

        Or maybe I’m just analyzing the premise of wealth being attractive too much. What I consider something to be valuable won’t be what they do.
