Mr. V, dear...if material things (a car for instance) make you happy, bring a smile to your face and a little confidence in yourself, then I say go for it! Self confidence, self esteem, a sense of feeling comfortable and secure in ones surroundings is important. But do it for yourself, not because you want to attract women.

Having money at least enough to meet basic needs and living requirements is very important to most of us. It is sooo nice to not have to worry about when you're going to be able to eat next. Or pay your electric bill. The worry, the concern, radiates and affects overall well-being.

Perhaps you dont give yourself enough credit, though, in the intelligence, interests and looks departments. I would focus on that first. Your career opportunity sounds promising, too. Do it because you enjoy it, though.

Money / material goods definitely will not make you happy if you still dont feel good about yourself. And think about what it will take to maintain a materialistic lifestyle.

And also keep in mind, with material stuff as a goal, you may not attract the most quality type woman. They smell it a mile away. And they are miserable to be around and very high maintenance. They also expect a lot. So simply driving around in a swell looking car isnt going to just to it for them. You are going to have to work awfully hard to keep this type of person. Is that what you want?
