So I haven't seen this addressed yet and I am very very interested as to everyones thoughts:

As I live life, I realize that SMV & social status are far from concrete. And I am curious as to how alternating/changing SMV affects dating? And what do you do to stop it from being a big factor in pulling women or keeping an LTR?

Forr example started my first business at 22.. was still in college held a leadership position in my fraternity, lived in a nice place, drove a luxury car, dressed stylish, had all the confidence in the world, and had an hb 8.5 LTR of 2 years who was a model and a hooters girl and a law student.

By 24, I split ways with my business partner and closed the business... things ended with the gf.. a friend totaled my car.. had to move out of my place etc. Essentially lost it all.

Then by 28 I was back on the rise, new even more profitable business, high rise downtown appartment, sportscar, hb 8 girlfriend, best physical shape of my life great social life...

But now, Im 32 and have lost it all again. I just have a job (a cool one with decent status to it but at the end of the day im an employee, no longer a boss) and I live with my dad while I build myself up again.

Its one thing for your life to fall apart but it sucks that it seems to affect my relationships and/or datong prospects so adversely.

So my questions are:

1.How do I get my SMV and Status to weather the storms of life? How do I not have an LTR turn tail when times are tough?

2.How closely do you think SMV and status is tied to picking up a ONS or maintaining LTRs?

3.How do you display or create or fake SMV/ status when you are at a low point in your life?

4.Should I be going for slightly lower SMV girls that are used to a lower station in life? Will they be more resiliant to lifes ups and downs?
