I prefer gaming naturally, without telling women what I do or how much I make. But for high status men, there is no denying that social circle gaming is far more effective and efficient way of getting women. It's much easier to pick up a model or an actress if you're a millionaire, and you're friends with producers who regularly throw parties packed with models.

But, a lot of people conflate wealth with power and status. There are very important distinction among the three, which is important if you're gaming.

Wealth is having money. A lot of guys with wealth don't have power or status. For example a hedge fund manager in NY. Or 10th employee of Google. They have a ton of money in a city full of rich people, but they can't get a table at the best restaurant. They don't have powerful friends they can call to get a bill passed, or score a VIP pass to Coachella of Vanity Fair Oscar party, or get introduced to Branson. They have a fat bank account but they have no pull.

By itself, wealth create interest from women but not attraction. They might want to marry you, because they think you'll be a good provider. But an unattractive guy with money, but without power or status doesn't get the hormone surging in women. (Women will marry you, and then have duty sex with your fat hairy ass twice a year. Then go off and spend your money.)

In fact, often it's the opposite. You bring a girl home, and she's intending to sleep with you, but she sees your expensive condo and she decides to hold back in hopes of a LTR instead of ONS.

Power is having the ability to make other people do things you want them to do, to make them give you things you want. Politicians often have power, although not always. Some rich people have power because they have parlayed wealth into ownership of media, sports team, or relationships with politicians. Some famous people have power because they have parlayed fame into power.

You don't need money to have power. Fashion photographers, they have no money but they have a lot of power because they can get models assignments and placement.

Power is as aphrodisiac. Women are attracted to power, and it's beyond their control. You can be as ugly as f*ck and you can still pull in women. Kissinger-Marilyn Monroe is a good example. Power is sexy.

But out of the three, status is the most important. The distinction between power and status is subtle but extremely important. Let me give you an example. The Prime Minister of UK has power and status. The Prince of England has far more status and far less power. The Prince is a lot more attractive to women, all other things being equal.

Another difference: status is local, power is less local. Wealth is not local. What I mean by that is the restaurant manager at your local bar has status in the restaurant. He has no power or status elsewhere but he has power and status in the restaurant. The leader of the bible study group at church, has no power but status. The lead singer of a crappy local band has status though he may be as broke as fuck. Status is relative. You can't have status unless you're part of a group because by definition, it's a relative thing.

It's similar to the concept of a situation HB9. An average girl in an engineering school may be a 5 everywhere else but in a school with 90:10 M:F ratio, she's a 9. With respect to status, in a tiny community or social circle, if you're #1 out of 30, you're still #1. This is why female prison guards vye to have babies with the gang leaders in prison. Status. It's far better to be #1 of 30 than #3 of 1,000.

Women. Go. Apeshit. For. Status. I used to run my own company. As many of you know, I attract fair amount of female attention but the attention I used to get from women in the company was on a completely different level. Most women, even when they see an attractive man, tend to be a bit aloof and cautious. Of course there are exceptions, but looks alone rarely get women lusting after guys. When they see an attractive (or sometimes even unattractive) man with status, they can't control themselves. I could almost see steam coming out of their ears, some of the women. They would stare, lose track of time, mouths hanging open, completely shellshocked. I used to think people like Jack Welch were idiots--they could have a lot of women, why shit in your backyard. But you see the pure animal lust in the women's eyes, you can understand why those guys do stupid things like that.

And an interesting corollary is that in a closed ecosystem, women get viciously competitive competing for the highest status guy. Much more so than when competing for a good looking guy (there is another bus coming in 5 min), rich guy (quite a few rich guys out there as well, unless the girl is from a very poor background where she doesn't even get exposed to rich guys), or even powerful guys (though it can get vicious there as well). There is only one #1. It's a scarce commodity and the knives come out.
