Are we in trouble mainly because of materialism?

[RusskyParticipant 13536]

I sincerely think that materialism is the root of all evil. If chicks weren’t so materialistic – the social dynamic between men and women would be completely different.

I believe that lack of materialism is the main feature of a NAWALT if they exist. I only know a handful of women who don’t put stuff on the pedestal, so it must be a pretty rare phenomenon

I have met girls who SAY that they don’t care about money or “things”. That is all well and good, but the proof is in the pudding. Why weren’t they with me? Because I am not made of money, that’s why. Sure, they would sleep with me on occasion but that is where it ended. Their “boyfriend” was an engineer or the owner of a construction company, or something along those line$. So while my face was buried in their pussy, their poor “boyfriend” was at home sleeping after a long hard day at the office and battling traffic. But at the time, I had a physique. I was a hot thing to them. So I filled a role for them. Their boyfriend “was getting too fat”. Well obviously not fat enough, because they usually ended up marrying the guy.

Oh, for the record, I NEVER slept with or even fooled around with a married woman. It’s just not worth the risk of getting shot.

Women are parasites. Each and every last one of them.

Women will be the first to try and accuse MEN of being materialistic. The desire for fast cars, more money, more power, the latest gadgets, toys, fancy things. But in actuality, they are 100X worse because these material items (shoes, watches, clothes, cars) are their only indicator to go by. They are otherwise total s~~~ at finding true value in a man.

You can test this anytime yourself.

I once had a woman in my car and we were stopped at a light. Two almost identical white cars were in front of us. A Mercedes and a Kia. From the back the only difference was really the ornament. I asked her “which one makes more money?”. She knew immediately and pointed at the Mercedes.

She even smiled because she thought she was clever.

Then I asked her “which one SAVES (or has) more money?”.

Now, I was the one smiling.

She couldn’t possibly know. She was stumped. A dead end. She was actually irritated by the question – because she knew what it meant. It meant she was s~~~ at spotting actual value. If women had any brains or sense at all, they would adjust their questions from “so what do you do?” to something that would answer what kind of man he really is – to try and uncover some real values. But they don’t care.

The smart man knows this, pulls in $250K every year, banks $50K+ after taxes, wears dirty sneakers, jeans and drives a Honda that’s 100% paid off. A woman will walk right past this guy as he whistles while he walks. She will go for the $30,000 millionaire (who’s car payments are $1200 a month) every single time.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

It would seem that “materialism” is another word for “pragmatic”. If females were materialistic, they would be much more like men.

1 – A tendency to consider material possessions and physical comfort as more important than spiritual values

Relating to or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things:

The ultimate consumers in western society are women.

If anything, they are the ones who are in trouble.

[нσтησσвParticipant 830]

88% of consumer money is spent by women.

This should say everything about men / women and materialism.

On that note; i’m only seemingly “materialistic” as i aim to be “retired” by 30 \w a middle class life style ( 60-100k/yr budget ).
Other than that, i’m happy with my $200 65″ industrial plasma tv, $700 3 year old pc ( still plays every game on max settings ), $25 30″ UHD Monitor (repaired & modded – worth $700-1000), $40 bed mattress, and $3000 car that is 15 years old, of which owns 95% of the cars/drivers on the road 😛

I buy for functionality! I’m sure most men buy for functionality; be it for more performance or entertainment.

Women However, buy for how something looks / status.
IPhone, IPad, IWatch…
$80k bmw that’ll never go past 2500RPM.
$10k purse that’ll be used for trying to make her classmates jealous at her highschool reunion… and looks just like every other purse in the world.

It’s not really materialism, but rather, female materialism.

F~~~ yeah we are in trouble; when 88% of the worlds economy is directed towards making a f~~~ing purse instead of solving the worlds issues, or colonizing another planet, or some other great achievement of mankind.

My Goal: To Leave Society.

When I have talked to women at the very least 3 out of 5 are broke. Women follow trends what’s hot at the moment which usually last 3 to 5 yrs. Women’s clothing stores are closing,  once love “Coach” is now closing stores, which they moved on to “micheal kors,” instead.

Most jobs held by women are:

1. Retail

2. Nursing

3. Salons

4. H.R.

5. Government Administration

1-3 are where most women are in, but don’t pay s~~~, 4-5 pay little better than average.

Shit Tested, Cunt Approved.

[KingOfTheSeaParticipant 1270]

If anything, we only stand to gain from women’s materialism. All their stupid s~~~ will go out of business and only those who actually make something worthwhile will still be around.

[JollyMisanthropeParticipant 3356]

Men spend the money they earn, women spend some other person’s money. A big difference.

I don’t have reason to dispute this, but why then are the 18-35 year old males the most targeted demographic in marketing? White knights and manginas in pursuit of pussy?

[Sam RavenParticipant 181]

Religion of money.

‘100% of the time, what is the first thing women ask you after the usual pleasantries are exchanged?

‘What do you do for a living?’

Which is an underhanded way of saying ‘How much are you worth?’ or ‘How much you earn?’

You could NOT get the same perfect result for a basic question like ‘What is the color of the sky on a cloudless day?’ or ‘What planet are you living on?’

It isn’t just monetary value they’re concerned about, it’s the social status that comes with a certain occupation.  Who’s more likely going to get the attention of a 10:  a ditch digger or a lawyer?  (Yeah, I know, if the ditch digger is built like Uhnult and the lawyer looks like Mr. Bean, the question becomes irrelevant.)

Don’t forget most of this is bought on credit leading to our current debt crisis. womin are the worst offenders when it comes to financial mismanagement no matter how hard the media tries to disprove this by having a few fetard advisors on their payroll,they are dragging our economy down while trying to keep up with the Jones’s. Well, I say f~~~ the Jones’s and live with in your means.

Yep. Women have no clue why they keep getting burned by these $30,000 millionaires…

[Jackson1888Participant 111]

Live off 10%. There is no reason in the world why you should be spending more then $2,000 per month to cover your living expenses. In my opinion if it takes more then $2,000 for you to pay for transportation to and from work, to feed yourself and put a roof over your head you are a damn fool.

 

This is achievable for any person college educated. Even a lot of Blue Collar workers can bring in $50,000 per year and could still get by with living expenses of $10,000 per year. They simply don’t have the b~~~~ to go spend $75 per month BUYING A TRAILER to live in and driving a used car with payments of under $100 per month.  Just think about it. Some blue collar guy makes $50,000 a year. He saves $40,000 a year. In ten years he has $400,000 in the bank. He can then afford to go to Medical School or Law School…his entire world could change. It would never happen if he had women in his life. He could never get away with it. But if he were MGTOW it would be inevitable.

 

That’s the way I think now. I’m really into cars, but I am not into spending money on them…(same with females)

Two reasons:

• They are the most difficult demographic group to reach because they don’t watch traditional media (TV, newspapers,etc) anymore and ads can no longer reach them this way. 50 years of misandry in the media (to flatter females egos) has resulted into this, they killed a large portion of their own revenue streams. Only way to reach young men is on the internet but the problem here is that the audience is all over the place and it’s harder to make effective ad campaigns that can reach a critical mass. They have started to target ads to the game world as it’s generally populated by males in larger numbers. You have to go where your market segment is.
• this age group is also the one that, historically, is most likely to be needing things(houses, cars, etc) as they don’t have anything yet and they need these products to start their independent/married lives. Today, as young men are no longer marrying at the same rate, their needs are also less than they used to be, on top of that women are now having a harder time finding husbands (means less hubby’s money to spend) … the consumer industry is now starting to feel it and it scares them s~~~less.

Other factors that are scaring economists is that a good portion of the manufacturing base has been exported so a lot of men can no longer afford having wives/families. Men are forced more and more to live a minimalist life style which means less demand for consumer goods.

Less demand means companies can’t produce goods cheap enough anymore through economies of scale and they have to automate and/or export their manufacturing where it costs less to produce. It’s a vicious circle and we can thank the Walmart’s/Target’s of this world … cheap prices have also decimated main street merchants because they can’t compete … result: only jobs left are are subsistance level retail jobs.

It’s a race to the bottom … welcome to the fall of capitalism.

I’m glad I’m in my 50’s as the worst is likely to come and I’ll be dead by then.

“In a deflationary recession, service economy workers are crushed.” No luck at finding this quote on line, but it holds true. When the debt collapses, China has debt, all manicures, pedicures, salons, rumba zumba classes, fashions, styles, and the people employed therein will suffer.  Just a heads up for guys relying on the service industry for income.
