Status is linked to different "subjective opinions," as a woman might prefer a firefighter to a football player (low vs. high status). But it's also linked to objective opinions, such as a football player having a much higher status than a firefighter and being more successful in life.
That said, there are many excellent lists on this forum made by intelligent people highlighting the career paths a man can take that give him the highest status.
That said, however, no one has bothered to point out that status is also hugely dependent on age.
How old are you? 15, 20, 30? Or 40, 50, 60?
A 15-year-old entrepreneur will certainly have a lower status than the most famous quarterback in high school.
Now let's try again at 45, and with the quarterback having finished his career, and perhaps he was just a provincial, with a job at the supermarket down the street, then the status really changes.
Let's say we can talk about status, but by age group.
In fact, this observation isn't just useful for men, to increase their value in the eyes of women, but also for them, knowing these things and helping them make choices in life.
I believe that if you weren't born rich or don't already have status, there will be three phases in your life.
The first, from 15 to 30/35, is that of the popular, handsome, socially validated boy. And so we all have statuses like soccer player, actor, musician, personal trainer, television personality, famous influencer, etc.
The second, from 35 to 50/55, is when the boy becomes a man, and if he manages to maintain his appeal, many do. But now there are other things that will make the difference: if he has a family, children, a good social circle, recognition in the local community, an entrepreneur, etc.
The third, from 55 to 70/80, is when that man has become a man with resources and serves his children, the community, and is a leading figure in his business field.
Now, do you see how it changes?
Most of the acquaintances you make in life (after the period in which we all idealize companionship, love, and other things) will all be conditional, pragmatic, bidirectional.
You give me this, I give you that.
I satisfy a need of yours, you satisfy a need of mine.
So, having status, in the eyes of an individual, is satisfying that person's needs, which will change over time.
Take, for example, a 25-year-old woman; she will necessarily have different needs than a 40-year-old.
So a 60-year-old who is a famous influencer at 20 for his bodybuilding will certainly still be famous, but now in decline.
There are certainly status figures that men could become entangled in, and I believe that for every decade, therefore, for every 10 years, a man should make a commitment to recognize them and identify with them.
This is important, because it has a significant impact on a man's career: a man must understand what opportunities are available and which role to play to enhance his status according to his age.
Now, my list is purely generic, but I invite high-IQ people on this forum to think about this and make a list of statuses and how they change.
