no because status can't be quantified over for ur IQ grey
Ok, but would, say, a 5'9 normie with bad hygiene who has a senior position at an investment bank, hedge fund, law firm or insurance company have status when it comes to sex and romance? i know a lot of these kinda guys in London, and they seem to only do well with obvious gold diggers. Surely in that situation status cant easily be differentiated from wealth. whereas a club owner, rapper, musician, photographer or artist seems to have much better "status" despite probably earning less and being further down a chain of command, plus having less direct influence. Surely then something like "style" is more important than status, beyond a certain point?
ok but what does it actually mean? is it just the way people are perceived in society? surely in that case a far more public/extroverted figure such as a musician or artist or insta model would have more "status", even tho they have less status in the usual sense within their actual field? That seems more like style and public image than actual status
you make sense but i dont think drawing analogies from school life is helpful, because it makes the assumption that everyone around you already knows who you are. For adults, I think people knowing who you are is half the battle, which is basically equal to fame except usually on a smaller scale. The vast majority of people are unknown to the vast majority of people. I could be a billionaire banker with exceptional intelligence, be a world level poker player, a cabinet member and have served three tours of afghanistan, but if nobody knows who I am literally no one will will care. So status is really about how people perceive you, which, even if youre theoretically high-status, high-achieving etc, most people wont have a perception of you at all. Therefore its style over substance, and status in this context is really style
what im saying is that most attributes and achievements are irrelevant to status unless you are either famous or you make a conscious effort to present a view of yourself to people which is probably false, or at least heavily exaggerated and likely divorced from your actual status irl. vast majority of people arent famous, so this, which is effectively lying, is presumably much more important than pure status in itself
The point of the original post was therefore to ask about more efficient ways of statusmaxxing past just getting a good job, credentials, money and professional position, which are largely irrelevant to people outside of that specific field. I dont wanna be fucking corporate lawyers for the rest of my life
There you wrong already.
Yeah i think that touches on something quite important in terms of the "excitement" which a socially prestigious lifestyle gives a woman. Also looking at the relationship between social status and female sexual interest and arousal, the appeal of a romantic artistic type is obvious, as is the excitement of say a jet set traveller. But a corporate figure can also come across as domme e.g. 50 shades etc. which is pretty much the basest appeal to a woman. So i guess passed a certain point ie assuming one is actually successful and has achieved a certain social status, its more about living out the expected lifestyle and living up to the expectations a woman would have of how your professional role or social status would manifest itself in the fantasies of a woman. Its basically role-play i guess, which again just shows how closely interlinked status and style/presentation are when it comes to attracting women. A VP earning 200 grand a year who lives out the expected lifestyle would have more status appeal than a ceo earning a million who lives as a hermit and comes across as a loser
Hmm yes this could be an issue but i was literally just speaking to a girl this morning who told me she gets turned on by "daddy lawyers" as well as, predictably, firemen, so I guess it could go either way
if money can add to status that implies that status is not simply position in a heierarchy.
wealth = in a hyrarchy.
No you need to take the square root of it and then add 1
By buying expensive cars/homes/clothes but on the other hand this might make you seem cocky or like a betabuxx
