Does having money help in attracting a female? Or, I should say, does the appearance of wealth, whether real or not, help in attracting a female?

Once I finish the training I have to do and if I make the money the employers have told me I can make, I think I would like to buy a new car or two, and one of the cars I am thinking I’d like to lease is a Ford Mustang. I would like something sporty but still practical, and other cars I like, such as the Subaru WRX Sti, are a little too expensive. Right now I have a 2005 Chrysler SeBring convertible.

Since I have no ability to attract a female (in fact I don’t think I have ever met a female other than through the Internet that liked me), I started to think that if I had a Mustang or some other attractive car if that would make me more desirable?

Of course true love and attraction would have nothing to do with wealth, but that is in an ideal world, and this world is far from ideal. In an ideal world I would be accepted for who I was instead of being expected to conform more with a deformed society’s ideals (i.e. taking classes to make me more sociable and better at it, appearance, fitting in more, etc.). But I have to work with what I have, and since appearance and charm are not among my strengths, I hope that making a lot of money, something I am confident I can do, will be an asset I can use in the future. At the very least I can make some good money and be alone and miserable with nice stuff.

So how much does wealth influence attraction and relationships?
