I've seen many posts from men saying that once they started making a lot of money their dating life really improved and I'm confused at how it helped specifically

I'm not talking about the difference between not being able to afford dates to being able to afford them. That change is obvious. But once you're above a base amount where you can afford normal dates (eg not flying out to florence for the weekend), I don't see how 2x that amount helps.

I make approx 250k/yr and my dating life is no less challenging than it was when I was making 80k. The extra money has not made anything easier at all. I still struggle to get dates and find a match.

I can understand that the more money you make, the more appealing you become to women but I really don't talk about money during the early dating stages because I dont want to attract women who are only interested in money. So for me, making 3x more money has not made dating easier in the slightest. I suppose it could if I started throwing thousands of dollars at women but that's not what I'm looking for.
