A question came in yesterday after I sent an email warning about the perils of gold diggers and sugar babies being after your money…
——-
Great series so far Justin, I’m enjoying it.
One question I have on this topic of being a target for gold diggers, does the same thing apply to women?
As I was reading your email, I started to wonder if there are men out there trying to shack-up with rich women because of their money? Does that sort of thing happen?
———-
This is an interesting question.
On one hand, I’m sure there are guys out there trying to land themselves a sugar mama.
Anytime someone has a lot of money, they will be a target.
However, with the successful women I know (I’m talking about women making high 6 or low 7 figures a year)…
Their dating issues are very different.
I’ll give ya an example…
I know one woman who was married for 6 years, and during that time she went from being a housewife to a 7-figure earner.
So while she was staying at home, she built a super successful business.
Which sounds great on the surface…
However her big leap in income created a lot of dysfunction in her marriage.
Why?
Cause her husband was used to being the breadwinner in the relationship.
That was his role.
And he wanted to be seen as the provider.
But after her income shot up, that was no longer the case.
She was the breadwinner.
And she told me this led to a lot of arguing, resentment and eventually a divorce.
I’ll give ya another example…
I know a very attractive female entrepreneur who’s 34 and still single (despite wanting to be married and have a family).
Having been around her at a few cocktail parties, she has absolutely no problem attracting men…
However…
She’s quite adamant that the guys she dates need to be on the same level (or higher) than her.
So her standard is basically a guy that’s tall, handsome, funny and makes as much money as she does (which is a little over a million a year).
Well that really narrows the dating pool.
Cause the number of men who are tall, handsome, funny, and make over 7-figures a year is quite small.
I mean you’re talking about the top 1% of the 1% here.
So finding that guy ain’t gonna be easy.
And here’s what’s interesting to me about that…
With her income, she has no need to date a high-earning guy.
She has plenty of money.
And she could easily find a good guy that makes a healthy 6-figures that checks all her other boxes.
But that’s not how she’s wired.
She wants the “prize”.
She wants a guy that’s driven, makes a lot of money, is funny and a host of other things…
And because of that, she’s still looking.
Obviously these examples I just shared is a small sample size…
But from the successful women I’ve talked to, the relationship dynamics created by them getting rich tends to be a bigger issue than the kinds of things that men deal with (gold diggers, sugar babies etc)
So some food for thought for ya…
Alright, I need to wrap this up and make some breakfast.
Enjoy your Saturday,
