"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.

Exactly
 

"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.

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.
