The only reason most men seek more is to get women and sex.
Dave Chappell had an old routine about this. If men could get sex in a cardboard box, most wouldn't buy houses. The main motivation for most men at the end of the day is sex women and their kids

Not all guys would stay in apartments. I speak for a lot of guys when I say we want a nice house and a garage big enough to work on our cars and build project cars. We want a backyard we can barbeque at will. Some of us guys want a shed for a wood cutting shop to do all sorts of projects. Some guys want large acres of land to be farmers planting crops and raising a herd of cattle. I and many guys didn't go to school to get women. I went to school so I can afford the things I want to do. Project cars, motorcycles, airplanes, fishing. I like to tinker with things and I need money for those things.

Also, can we stop using generational geniuses as examples? The average incel is choosing between souless wage slavery or rotting, not doing anything significant

I really believe lot of people just aren't doing what they're supposed to do. They don't choose the right career field, they have kids too young, they go into unnecessary debt, etc.
If you avoid kids and debt, life should very well be a breeze.

Men are natural providers. They will work endlessly to provide for their families, even sacrifice their own life to protect them
Destroy the family unit=destroy most men's desire to work

In 2022, with Xbox Netflix porn etc, it doesn't take much to reach that point for a large amount of guys.
It doesn't make sense to do more than the minimum if you a simple life is enough to make you happy

A man’s purpose in life is to reproduce and then provide and protect his pride. That’s it. Everything has an underlying foundation beneath the surface.
On the surface women wear makeup for women, they compete with each other. Dig deeper, who is the ultimate judge of that competition? Men. An ugly woman can only be told she’s pretty for so long by other women until they notice she’s literally the only one who never gets approached by men. Women want to look beautiful for other women but it is men who are the consumers of that beauty.
It’s the same thing with men who say they work out for themselves. 1% may truly do that but for 99% of men, it’s a very shallow reading of the situation.
Testosterone drives 99% of men to be more wreckless and go for it. That toxic masculinity that makes them so dumb chit like jackass pranks or go to war is the same “toxic” masculinity that makes them wreckless enough to go want to slay the dragon or work 90hr weeks. The goal is to rise to the top and ultimately, we know what the prize for the ones at the top is, whether that is what they are consciously heading for or not.
Men compete with other men for mating opportunities, even if they’re not. It’s the very mechanics of how our body and brains are wired. Women compete with other women to be able to secure the best man, hence the hypergamy. It’s no coincidence that women want men to be strong, masculine, richer than them, taller than them, bigger than them; and yes, smarter than them. A woman dating a dumber man is a turnoff for them.
So of course there are exceptions, the system is not perfect. Being a homosexual goes completely against survival of the fittest theory, yet it happens, there are defects. Guys like Einstein are defects.
It’s like that guy who works hard so he can get money and have an easy life. And when he gets money and can get an easy life, he still chooses to work anyways, cos something is driving him, it goes beyond the superficial wants.
For anecdotal evidence, I moved into the city to a very nice place with my fiancé. My brother who has far more money than me lives in a bedroom with mattress on the floor. And I had to be honest, if I was single, I would have done the same.
Obviously some guys will still want nice cars to impress their friends, society, or themselves. It all goes back to the same thing. We are building an LDAR society.

Either way, cashing out your profit after selling your house would be the accomplishment in this case, not buying one.

It's worth noting that ANY Hobbie can be considered a "waste of time":
-"why would you waste your time playing video games? You need to go outside and do something."
-"what are you doing going on hikes and bike rides? With all that time, you should be spending it learning how to invest."
-"why are you wasting time learning investing in options/crypto? It's just gambling."
No matter what you do, there is someone somewhere that deems your hobbie a waste of time and or money.

So men lead, women follow.
I’ve never dated a woman who was too miss independent for me. I have friends who are the same, boss chicks who will suddenly turn all submissive when they started dating them.
I think most men are just weak. Can’t put women in their place. Can’t argue their point, afraid to hurt their feelings, easily emotionally manipulated etc. it’s like when you see kids running laps around their parents these days. Wtf. I didn’t date chat back to my parents and they never hit me once. It was respect and fear ingrained.
