Based on my experience I feel like the dudes that are the highest status and do the best with women in these environments are either avg-above avg looking with super high energy witty dominant personalities or the good looking introverted dude who has enough social skills to get by.

But as a dude who’s currently working on improving his looks and struggles to be high energy and witty 247 without it taking away my focus from more important things like work, I fit into neither of these categories. I have enough social skills to get by but I feel like my short social battery, edgy sense of humor, and lack of knowledge on normie BS like sports, modern hip hop, and other shit is holding me back from connecting with most people and being popular. I honestly just suck at “being normal” lol. I’m not a neurotypical guy obviously. I’m hoping that improving my looks and becoming a top performer at my job will boost me enough to get status tho. And I also feel that the advice of “learning game” has helped a little bit but at the end of the day idk if Ill ever become that high energy dangerously charmismatic and witty Harvey Specter type of character without snorting a few lines of coke, drinking vodka, putting on a huge try hard performance everyday, and magically acquiring a higher IQ

What do you guys think I should do and those that have been in my position, what did you do?
