    This is nonsense. Wealth translates directly into attraction as a mate. More wealth means more attraction. There’s no point at which increasing wealth stops increasing attractiveness. This is true even for the person with the most wealth because increases in wealth still increase relative wealthiness, which is still an increase in attractiveness.

    Whoever thinks wealth accumulation is a mental illness doesn’t understand humans.

      You get diminishing returns pretty quickly unless you’re a really disgustingly ugly person both inside and out.

        diminishing returns

        If there are any returns whatsoever, diminishing or otherwise, then that’s enough for humans to chase after it.

        unless you’re a really disgustingly ugly person both inside and out

        Indeed, humans are pretty ugly. Same with the rest of nature. Look around you. Would you say it’s ugly or beautiful when a gazelle is still alive watching a lion eat its insides. Or when a fly is immobilised as a spider wraps it in silk. Humans are no better. We are animals. The same forces are active inside us as in every creature. This is life on planet Earth.

          You seem to be worshiping billionaires who would never give one iota of care about you

              The part where you say that wealth attracts you.

              Since billionaires are the most wealthy, it must mean you find them super attractive and thus worthy of worshiping.

                where you say that wealth attracts you

                That’s not what I said.

                super attractive and thus worthy of worshiping

                And this is a non sequitur.
