This post will be on what I believe status is, and how to make sure you are able to take the proper steps to maximize your own status by being aware and placing yourself in the best spot to succeed at all times.

What is status

In my opinion status is the social value you have in comparison to the other people around you at any given time. It is one of the hardest things to keep rock solid at all times in comparison to things like your looks/frame/pick up skills because you’re environment/people around you are constantly changing which means your status is almost always fluid. Although there are hard exceptions for professional athletes, celebrities, musicians, exc, as they will be well known to most of the general population as high status figures obviously(fame != status).

There are a couple ways you can display higher status than the other people around you, I will be breaking down status into a few different categories and be providing examples of each which will hopefully give you all some ideas on how to improve your status.

  1. Environment
  2. People
  3. Money
  4. Social Media
1- Environment

The environment you are in is constantly changing, and therefore how people perceive you in various environments is constantly changing as well. For example: The tattooed bartender at a high profile bar/night club is going to be high status to the 23 year old post grad sorority girl when she’s out on the town with her friends one night. Where as the in-shape yoga instructor teaching her hot yoga class would be high status to her in that environment. These two people are leaders within the situation they are in, which is obviously an attractive quality to women. Therefore since in their environments they are likely the best at what they do chances are they have VERY high status in these cases. So in the environment example of status you want to be the “leader” or best in whatever environment you put yourself into. Chances are you wont be able to the best or leader in every single environment so a way to get around this is to become friends with the various leaders in the environments you put yourself in on a day-to-day basis. Therefore you get status-by-association. Since the high status individuals in their respective environments will be interacting with you consistently your status within that specific environment will be elevated as well. Which bring me to my next point.

2- People

The people you surround yourself with is highly important to your status as well. You want to be doing your best to always be surrounding yourself with high value people(who you obviously also enjoy being around). For example, if I go out to the bar with my 3 friends from back home who don’t have jobs and have put on some weight since college ended. My perceived value will be lower than if I go out to the bar with one of my plates and four of her friends. So find other people with high value, girls and guys, who you enjoy being around to do things with. You will find that if you are in a group like this people will flock to you and want to be around you consistently. A real life example that I can give from my life at the importance of status and people would be being in a good fraternity in college and seeing my friends have access to a ton of hot girls during school. To now struggling because they are working 9-5 cube jobs where they are once again kind of like a “freshman” again and need to build up their status. They also are not surrounded by other perceived high value males anymore on a consistent basis.

My advice to finding higher quality people to surround yourself with would be this . Offer something other people can’t/won’t to other high value people. If you have the ability to, start making friends with powerful social people in your area/demographic. If you’re in college join a good fraternity. If you’re new to an area start leveraging your social skills to make friends. Invite them to things and add some sort of value to their life somehow. If you are the one people go to for plans/pregames/whatever you will have high status to those people and will be looked upon as a leader. Also when you get to interact with another high status person do your best to make a good first impression and become friends with them.

3- Money

Having money improves your status in two key ways. Being able to do more cool things, being able to own more cool things. For example if you have the money to buy a table at a club your perceived value compared to the general admission people will be higher. You get access to better location, more attention, exc. Along with this, if you’re able to market yourself well on snapchat/instagram of whatever cool things you and your friends are doing other people will see that you're constantly doing cool shit and want to be able to join you in on your fun. You will then have higher status to those people. Along with being able to buy better experiences you can also buy better clothes/things. There’s a lot of posts here already on improving your your looks. Having nice, well fitted, brand name(don't need a lot) clothing will help other perceive you as higher status. Along with this if you can flex the fact you have money without being douchey about it, it can be increase womens investment in you a lot. An example of this could be if you are wearing nice clothing(you look like you have money) and a woman asks what you do for work. Chances are what you actually do isn’t interesting to her at all, so make up some bullshit and tell her you’re a farmer or something and come up with a story. This is good because it’s rapport breaking behavior. She then also realizes that you’re not afraid to challenge and fuck with her. As well as creates a sense of mystery around you. She will wonder what you actually do for money, and letting a woman's imagination run is almost always a good thing in my experience.

This is the hardest one to give advice on I think since all of our situations are different. So my advice to you here to improve your money situation would be to get a good job(not easy all the time I know). Make friends with people who have a lot of money and like being sharing that with others. And also buy some nice clothes/jewelry for yourself and take care of it. If you’re able to look “wealthy” even if you aren’t necessarily, people will look at you as a higher status individual.

4- Social media

The general rule of thumb is Good SM>No SM>Bad SM. I personally only use snapchat to show off the fact im doing cool shit/traveling to cool places, but everyone has their own reasons/preferences in regards to SM use. I have some friends who obtain a ton of social status through how they market themselves on social media(although it can be a bit obsessive at times). If you have a good follower ratio and show off good content girls will perceive you as a higher status. It’s important to note that the content you are sharing on social media must be congruent to the type of person you are in real life, because if you’re not most times girls will see right through your bullshit(this happens to some of my more wealthy friends with good sm but shitty game). So my advice to SM use would be to use it to show you doing high value activity, with high value people, with high value things. If you can do this, people you don’t even know as well as the people you already know will perceive you as higher status.

Conclusion

Overall status is important and makes things a lot easier. Take little steps to improve these various factors everyday and you will see yourself become even that much more attractive.
