I feel like there are some people out there that need to read this story. You know that dude, who loves to flash his wealth in people's faces to get them to go out with them. You know the type.
If you are that type of dude, you may want to stop doing that because it's making you look bad...and there is SCIENCE to back it up.
According to this story it says that men who flash their wealth around, people interpret this behavior as a sign that he is more interested in short-term sexual relationships than in romantic commitment. Which actually makes sense, because if you are more interesting in something long term... you wouldn't reveal that you are wealthy into later on in the dating stage.
The survey goes on to say that Compared to women, men have a greater tendency to conspicuously display their wealth.
This study investigated how a man's display of wealth is perceived by others. Two groups of students completed the online surveys. They first read through the descriptions of two men who were purchasing cars. The participants then rated each character on dating and parenting behaviors, his interest in relationships and his attractiveness to others. Both men spent the same budget. One man made a frugal investment by buying a new car for the sake of reliability. The other opted for a used car and proceeded to spend the remaining money on flashy purchases such as new paint, larger wheels and an impressive sound system for the vehicle.
According to the study the man who made the frugal car purchase scored much higher. he received top marks as a potential life partner.
