(Most men miss): women are sensitive to the most subtle shifts in a man’s status

[jhonny9546]

Women are remarkably sensitive to even the most subtle shifts in a man’s status.
I’ve experienced this firsthand, and it feels almost as if they have a built-in sensor, like a thermometer that instantly registers change.
It’s as though women perceive men on a kind of vertical slider, constantly adjusting their perception based on cues most men aren’t even aware they’re giving off. Some of these signals are “material” and “immaterial”. The "visible" and "the invisible".



These cues, (let’s call them triggers), are picked up instinctively. Women have this quality from a very young age.
Men might overlook them, but women tend to capture and interpret them with striking accuracy.


I’d be curious to know how this idea resonates with you.
What do you think these triggers are, and how have you noticed them influencing your life.
At the same time, while exploring how the opposite sex perceives us is fascinating, it’s not something we should not spend so many time on.
As men, we still have our own “dragons to slay” in life.

Learning that emotions are contagious, and that if I'm not looking after myself, this effects everyone else in the vicinity adversely as well, has given me an incentive to put myself number one, so that I CAN THEN be of service to the rest of the planet

Women aren't the only ones who pick up on a fella going schluby. Hell, your fellow men, in some respects, recognize that sh-t much SOONER than women do. Malaise often becomes apparent in things like a man becoming unusually lackadaisical in his career I.E. Going from showing up early every day, regularly knocking it out of the park ala.

yes women are sensitive or perceptive to male status and also female status. just status in general, its very high in how women process the world and people. Women that are younger and not as educated can be tricked about status easier than older or more experienced ones.

the markers of status.

- your mood and behavior, bad is low status
- do you beg, if yes low status
- do other men treat you with respect, if yes high status
- do you look at eyes when talking, if yes high status

@plumber You have a range for what you consider "bad"

 

[BackInTheGame78]

The biggest one is "weak" versus "strong".

More relationships have gone down hill quickly due to this than any other reason, IMO, especially within the first few months.

I can easily say that since our teens, our "credit" within the peer group it's one of the decisive factors as much as looks.
By credit I just dont mean wealth or education but physical dominance to those around you which explains why cops and thugs score.

Since women dont have status themselves but have it matched with the man who invested in them, it's clear that them being status obsessed creatures are very sensitive to it.

A housewife with kids married to a famous football player has a much higher status than an educated wealthy mid 30 single woman that runs a business.

They basically get themselves banged from old millionnaires just to have a certain life style and flex with yacht pictures or exclusive travels and bags.

Since women dont have status themselves...

They definitely have status and hierarchy among one another

Yes and it depends on the men they managed to catch and how strong is his commitment toward her.

They are called "first ladies" for a reason.
