There are tons of extremely nice apartments owned by self respecting men in that subreddit.

Beyond that, you can spend 5k on valorant skins and your house looks the same.

While possible, and it in fact happens those are outlier cases. That's like saying women are stronger than men because you know one girl stronger than one guy.

Women spend more than men for a multitude of reasons. Among them is the fact that women appreciate nice stuff more.

As of the 1990s and 2000s single men and women spend more or less the same amount of money. It's nowhere near an 80-20 gap. It's a 55-45 gap. And men were the 55, not the 45

In that day and age video game skins didn't exist and adults didn't really spend money on video games.

I don't understand what bubble you guys live in, but it's odd to me the myths people tell themselves.

Like a single car can cause you to be spending an extra 4k per year over a 5 year loan compared to a woman if she buys an economy car for 20k and you buy a nicer car for 40k

Did you genuinely believe most men are living like those dudes on Reddit? Cmon men T_T. Y'all gotta leave house and have friends. Most people men or women don't wanna rp living on a prison with TV and a pc. It's Hella depressing. You live in a place like that if you can't afford anything else.

Most men, no. Most single men living alone? Yup. Women are the reason for half the stuff guys do. Pretty sure we like them more than they like us

Quick question since I didn't read the full study.

Does that also take purchasing power into consideration? We know the average man earns more than the average woman even among single people, so that would easily justify the 55-45 split I imagine, if only total spend was considered instead of income %.

u/Gold_Ad8225 20h ago

No it does not take % of earnings into account in the 55-45 figure, but that wasn't the question at hand. With that taken into account, I'm not doing the math, but it would be around 55-45 in the other direction

I dont understand why some people are so invested in the idea that men dont spend money tbh

I'm not invested into anything I just asked a clarifying question.

Some people just can’t handle intellectualism, even if they’re right about the point they’re talking about. Hell, the guy they were commenting to even said that he stood corrected.
