"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Hello, I'm trying to understand what makes a man high status besides his physical appearance. What jobs make you high status? What positions in life make you high status in a female? Meaning does he need a bachelors/masters/phd degree, a good job, or be a firefighter, policeman, military to be high status?

Does being in the military or any other dangerous jobs make you high status in the first place?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Appearance can get your foot in the door, but the only thing that matters is your mindset. No female will know it until you speak

Status can't be defined easily. If you encounter a gold digger, she may think you're high status if you're well off financially. To a drifter you are higher status if you are simply employed.
It's all about other peoples perceived value of you, and that varies per individual.
Bottom line, If you are a quality man with high inner strength, character, values, actions, and morals, you know you are high status whether others recognize it or not.

Fame is probably the most universal way to status.
Having leadership, authority, or influence over others are some ways of gaining status.
But I think each woman values different things, so what gives you high status in her mind depends on what she values.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

High status is THRIVE status.

Are you kicking the world's ass or getting your ass kicked by the world?

It's subjective.
In a circle of Ph.D historians the guy who knows all the club managers and gets v.i.p seating probably means nothing.
But to a 21 year old college girl that same guy comes across as high status.

I try to make it simple.

Do women and opportunities seek you out? You are high status.
Do you need to seek out women and opportunities? You are low status.

Everyone exists somewhere on the spectrum in between those two extremes.

not being an AFC/drone/orbiter/beta douche is going to put you in a place most guys only dream about.

Just think of the opposite of 'low status' and... there's your answer.

Even 'Middle of the road' is miles away from dorks.
