So my friend got laid by telling a woman he met at a bar that he invented facebook chat and sold it for 30 million.

That is all it takes, I have no idea why I can never think to bullsh-t outrageously like that.
We're out with his sister's friends, these are jersey shore looking guys, and we're skinny trevs so they're getting most of the attention in the group without a problem at all (women, wtf? these guys are almost orange gym head greasers...but anyway) so he starts talking to some kind of persian or arab looking girl, she's polite and being nice, but hardly all over him. She ends up asking what he does, and after acting like he didn't want to talk about it a couple times he says he invented the chat application that facebook uses and they paid him 30 million dollars for it.
Boom. She's all over him on the dancefloor and it's game over.
There's a lesson here for all of us: Why not make up ridiculous sh-t if you're going to be embarrassing yourself in front of women anyway?
Most truly wealthy people dress very understated. Neutral colored, bland logo-less shirts and slacks, cheap windbreakers, $75 shoes. The only indicator might be a nice watch or ring. Most non-American wealth will spend more on shoes, too.
I went out with a bunch of people from work, and one of the women was talking to this guy most of the night - but she ended up going home alone. The next day I was talking to her and the conversation went like this:
me: What happened? You looked like you were making a new friend last night.
her: Yeah, but he seemed to be full of bullsh-t - he said he had sold his company, but he didn't seem rich
me: Well, he was wearing an $80,000 watch...
her: sh-t.
Bull f-cking sh-t. These days you need legit looking business cards and a working website because the b-tch will google it on her iphone when shes in the ladies room.
He's not rich as f-ck at all, has his own small business (him and a partner) but they are scraping by, he's making barely 40-50 K a year tops.
I'm shocked, he doesn't look like a slob but she had to be pretty ditzy to think he was dressed like a millionare.

Especially in the tech industry. In Silicon Valley you absolutely cannot spot most of the rich guys.
In other F2 threads, people claim that silicon valley guys are all driving around in Bentleys and Aston Martins, and that those cars are as common as Toyota Camrys.

Mostly you see BMW and Lexus but so many are leased it's no guarantee of wealth.

I guess my problem is that I give women too much credit, I think "no, i'm not going to be so dishonest... it's not like they would fall for such an obvious line anyway"

How did he explain his 14 year old Honda and his one bedroom crappy apartment?

You don't need to do this. I tell women I'm out of work, even though I'm not, and they make their own sh-t up about me. I had one girl telling me I'd be a millionaire someday because I have "vision." I have no idea where that sh-t came from. I didn't say anything that'd impress her. They just zero in on attitude. Actually, I don't think women hear words at all, they're like dogs and just go by the tone of your voice. That chick probably knew your friend was lying but as soon as he lied she saw he was the kind of man she likes. Women love a don't-give-a-f-ck attitude more than they love anything.

I know a lot of players lie about owning mantions in the suburbs and around the world, and that their 1 bedroom downtown apartment is just for when he's in town on business.

it's funny how it all falls into place when you're hot.
