What does average loan payments have to do with my point?
you said:
"how can these guys (first let us identify who "these guys" we are referring to. For me, when dern said, "After college, a lot of people are focused on their careers and "settling down". I took it to mean recent post-grads that landed good jobs.
So that eliminates
- Guy with big debt problem, no money, and wife supporting him.
- Guy who got graduated with some useless degree, big debt problem, and now works in an unrelated field doing some low status job.
I then, choose a career that would be realistic for a post-graduate serious about his career to hold. And presented the average monthly salary he would be expected to make his first year out of college. This is the person I believe dern had in mind, when he wrote his comment.
I pulled up the average student loan debt, because you said "many" of "these guys" focused on their careers and "setting down" don't have have money because of the huge debts payments that dwarf their monthly income.
So by pulling up the monthly income expected of "these guys" and comparing it to the monthly student loan bill on a 10 year standard repayment plan of the average college grad, its clear that they WOULD have enough money to pay off their bills and settle down after college no problem. Ok so that, that.
Now when he says, "Being an attractive man in 2020 requires more than just game. You need a solid lifestyle (e.g., career, friends), good looks, AND good game"
If it wasn't apparent, he is talking about what he feels is required TODAY to LTR a very hot girl (hb9-10). Not just to get an LTR in general. So your "millions of broke guys graduating from college and are in LTRs" isn't relevant here
he said a guy needs to bring something to the table, which can be money, to be part elite social circles to sleep with hot girls (yes you don't need to roll in these circles to sleep with hot girls) To get into LTRs with hot girls, yes you need money (I'm tired of defending this point, having the same arguments with the same people, making the same comments over and over again, so by LTR I legit mean long term).Dern makes a contradicting points about how a guy needs money and be part of elite social circles to sleep with hot women or get into LTRs.
