I'm not sure what LH's definition of a 1% man is. I just have a high income, high status job that it is pretty easy to verify with google. And it tends to grab the attention of women in the entertainment industry or who want to be part of the entertainment industry.
I think Spiral is a porn director lol.

A guy who wakes up to 50 matches on bumble, dates models without commitment and accepts Donny H's jealousy and distain for him without firing back.

Words have meaning - and terms have definitions, or so I thought. This is exactly why I have said, multiple times, "depending on what a one-percenter is." I thought these were pretty universally accepted terms. Perhaps not so much.
So I've long believed and continue to believe that a ten-percenter is someone who has amassed a million dollars or more in total wealth and assets. It get's it's name from the fact that about 10% of the USA have become ten-percenters. Turns out, that this ten-percenter term may be nothing more than slang.
ten percenter in American English
informal an agent, esp. an actor's agent, whose fee is 10 percent of a client's salary
LMAO - OMG, so I guess I'm not a ten-percenter after all as I'm certainly not now, nor ever been an actors agent.
So what about the one-percenter? I've always thought that was someone who makes no less than a million dollar annual income and is moving towards a billion dollars in assets - or at least is way, way far beyond one million - or the ten-percenter. Well, again, turns out I was closer on this one but not all the way there?
one percenter in American English
As a noun: 1. Someone who is in the top 1% in terms of either yearly income or total assets. 2. Someone who simply appears to be rich. 3. Someone who spends an extremely large amount of money on a single interest. 4. Occasionally just refers to the first world in general.

And LH is not even in the ballpark. If this is what is termed a one-percenter I guess I take far less issue. Although I've got to believe with all of the scammers, catfish, bots, and general goofs in their mother's basement out there, there are far more than 1% getting Bumble matches and dating "models" without commitment. Of course that now means we also have to define "models" and also "commitment". I've dated several models, and two miss Wisconsin finalists, and was never committed to either of them. But I'd never consider myself a one-percenter though I am a ten-percenter, just not the actor's agent kind.
WORDS HAVE MEAINING!!! So where did you get this one-percenter term LH? Or is this another term dreamed up by the coach?

Okay, found a little more - if anyone cares... According to Madison Advisors and the IRS:
Ten-percenters in the USA have an annual income of $145,135 and a net worth of $1,182,390 One-percenters in the USA have an annual income of $515,371 and a net worth of $10,374,030
And one would presume, live the life-style afforded by those statistics... and attract models whom they don't have to commit to, perhaps?
