High-Value Vacation Spots?

Thank you! I love St. Croix, and I’ve never been to Fiji, but it’s absolutely gorgeous congrats! New Orleans is a ton of fun, but I think the key is the time of year one visits; the crime has gotten preeeetty bad out there, but I agree it’s so rich in culture and excellent food! I appreciate the Martha’s Vineyard recommendation; I had a friend go out there last year, and it was rejuvenating for her; she also made some really great connections. I’ve been thinking about it since.

Santorini, Fiji, Zurich and Bern, St Barths and Zanzibar have been my faves! Love Spain too. Currently in Barcelona for the foreseeable future.

“When I first read your post, my instant gut feeling was that you were asking "Where the rich men at?". I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt, and provided my honest advice/opinion which you have now flown off the handle at because it wasn't what you wanted to hear.”

And this palpable dusty logic/assumption coming from your “gut” is dusting up all of your replies. I don’t have to be OK with that and decided to push back because I’m cognizant of where you were going in the subtext, I’m surprised you admitted it.

I’m not “traveling to meet someone” and have said that several times, I want to optimize networking and meeting people WHILE traveling, which I shared several times in this post, replies, and past posts.

Hilarious that you admit you STARTED with a covert negative judgment/assumption, but I’M operating in “bad faith?” You replied to my post, happily see yourself out?

You are really rude for no reason

Why are you so defensive zeus?

I think Milan is a very helpful reminder of just how attractive men can be. I recently moved to a more upmarket part of the UK and while I wouldn’t say wealth indicates HV, I very much enjoy no longer seeing scrotes in stained tracksuit bottoms that were prevalent in my old town. Perhaps there’s an argument to be made that if you move in ugly circles, hot guys can seem HV purely because they stand out. If you move in more elegant circles, you’ll vet harder because they won’t.

Oh my gosh, the people who get all decked out in designer brands!

It's one thing if they really enjoy those designs. I might think a lot of it is gaudy, but I try to remind myself not to be a design snob, different people can like different things 😆

But the distinct impression I'm getting from them is that they do it because they think people are going to be impressed by their status symbols: flashy clothes, flashy watch, flashy cars...

To me, the point of having money is being able to relax - caring that hard about whether the stuff they buy brings them prestige, is the antithesis of relaxing 🤣

It’s gauche I’m so sorry😂 or at best costumey

Clientele???? Excuse me?

I am not, nor did I post that certain destinations can only be places to have great experiences, or that non-wealthy people don't go to those places. A place like Greece (I've been to Athens) wouldn’t be off the table, so I’m not sure why you would think that? I made that clear in the post. Greece is a country, and there are resorts and accommodations there that cater toward high-earning folks vs. lower classed ones and are marketed that way so I'm not sure why this is being misconstrued other than projection?

What do you mean excuse me 😂

It seems you want to go to a place that attracts high-earning people, then just pick a country that interests you and look for an expensive resort. I don't quite understand which recommendations you're looking for exactly. As others have said, there is no single place / country / area that exclusively attracts rich and educated people, the only way to filter somewhat is to only go to hotels / restaurants / conferences etc. that only rich people can afford. There's an upscale _something_in almost any place.

I think vacation spots can hold value (IMO) in the hospitality and travel industry—that’s why some places are considered luxury or upscale while others aren’t. For example, Ft. Lauderdale vs. Tahiti, both beach destinations, but there’s a clear difference there.

Thanks for the heads up re: Aspen, that’s definitely the type of vibe I’d like to avoid (I don’t do or tolerate dr*gs!) Love the Montana/Wyoming recommendations, I used to spend time out at Big Bear and Truckee in California and I absolutely loved it, this seems even better!

I traveled a ton before the pandemic so I’m getting back into that. In the past, I would meet men while at a museum or an event or something and go on dates; it was such a blast. I’ve also made lots of friends while traveling; however (big BUT lol) this was before I started leveling up and building a dating/relationships strategy. I can only imagine how abundant the quality of these experiences will be with higher standards, that said I *do* love to relax on resort vacations but since I work remotely as a freelancer, I make time for adventurous travel as well. I’ll go to a place and try out everything from their best restaurants, to hiking, to horseback riding, to tours of museums and historical sites, plus shopping and have met many people that way.
