Never really understood how to gain status in a practical way.
What are some practical examples and things someone could do to start gaining status?
What comes to my mind is building social circles, becoming a famous musician/rapper/whatever, becoming a leader of men (politician) etc.
All these converge to one thing: leading men and women in a subconscious way; the musicians have people listening to them and singing their song which is for me another way to say "you are listening and singing my music so I'm leading". Same thing goes for politicians etc.
All this is theory, but are there some real practical examples? I might sound like someone looking for short-term results, but I'm just confused and lost. I also know you only gain value by doing and not thinking.
The thing is I really don't know what to do, I'm literally wandering in my mind.
I know at first sight it could sound like a stupid question, but I don't think I'm the only one stuck in this phase. I guess the cause of all this is probably the fear of failure, thus we do nothing instead of even trying doing something which could (possibly) add value.
My alter ego would say "just do something" which could actually be the reply to my own question, but what do you all suggest? I'm looking for multiple advice.
Thanks guys.

You want status, get a girl wingwomen and have her introduce you and bring over other women to you at parties, bars, clubs etc.

How much money do you make? Double it, you just doubled your status. Do you look good naked? Go lift if no, doubled it. Own some nice clothes? Keep a clean home? Do interesting hobbies?

You clearly don't make a lot of money or lift a lot of weight. Neither of those things give you status whatsoever. Nobody with class walks around with their shirt off or shows people their bank accounts.
I seriously doubt most people here can even answer that question you clearly can't.

You shit on me but provide no correct answer.
I have over a million net worth and im a young guy so really whatever. If my answers are shit then tell me the true answer i am clearly doing it all wrong.

I am shitting on not just you but all of redpill, it is dumbed down to stupidity most days. I've been here long enough to know that only a dumbass actually thinks that making 2X your salary or benchpressing 2X as heavy makes you more attractive to women.
IT DOESN'T! Your confidence and drive to achieve "might" be attractive to women but only if you don't know how to communicate that in a non douche bag way (you sound like a douchebag) it confers no status.
FYI I am worth close to 10 mil and my status with young women (20 year olds) is shit (I am also 42). I lift in the gym and get my ass kicked by an pro athlete trainer regularly and it doesn't mean shit.
My status comes from having a DGAF attitude and having the financial freedom to do what I want, and to have other people working for me. However, unless I choose the right venues and the right age group and people I have practically no status.
You have to find your own niche where you are respected and meet women on your terms where you are considered high status, it isn't nearly as simple as go make money, go lift.

Your answer literally sucked at least as much as mine but you just add extra insults... you got no frame bro. Im sorry cute young girls are blind to you but that is really no reason to lash out at me. DGAF does not give status.
cl3537 5y ago
Congrats you are a young piece of shit, you will learn one day but that day isn't today.
"Sucked", "Bro", "Cute girls are blind", "No Frame"
You must be 17 and working at McDonalds, definitely in no position to give advice on status.
I stand by my original comment you are now on ignore go circle jerk elsewhere.
CalvinRichland 5y ago
Thats bitter and hateful bro, i wish the best for you, don't hate on McD's though man those young bros are trying. Your frame is super shaky... why so much anger?

Social status can quickly be gained in any group by listening to the needs of the group (they will eventually verbally say what they need) and providing the need without anyone asking. Don't expect anything in return, just be non chalant. They will literally all gain respect for you.
I am saying the group not individuals, every social group has a goal (as simple as relaxing or as complex as bank fraud). Do not consistently do this just randomly when it is something you can provide with ease. This will make you very valuable in that group.
Repeat in other groups until many people recognize you personally. This is the beginning of social influence.

Status is gained via any quantifiable trait where more (or occasionally less) is better.
More muscle is higher status than less muscle.
Taller his higher status than shorter. 6'4'' is better than 6'3''
Low body fat is higher status than high body fat. 10% is better than 11%
More money earned is higher status. 55k is better than 54k.
Higher education is better. A Masters is better than a Bachelors
Having gone to the 20th ranked university is better than having gone to the 50th
Having rich family members is better than having middle class family members
Having a 2019 car is better than having a 2018 car
Having a 30k car is better than having a 20k car
Having awards is better than not having awards
Having a 140 IQ is better than having a 130 IQ
Having a broad jawline is better than having an average jaw line, down to the millimeter
Working at a top 100 company is better than working at a top 500 company

Ya, your right for the most part and then there is the people in the world that don't give a shit about this calculus and are still badass

Obviously, but everyone should still look for self-improvement to increase their status
bl1871 5y ago
Sure, if you don't feel good enough as you are and reveal that mindset through your behavior. Point being that there are guys that in your scheme out rank the shit out of other dudes on your scale and his trophy wife is still getting the shit plowed out of her by these guys, i.e. pool boy, gardener, etc. Has none of this stuff and can still knock the bottom out of super smv's trophy wife

Progress in a measurable domain.
Start Brazilian jujitsu. Get your first stripe. I got mine last month and I still can’t shut the fuck up about it.

You guys are forgetting the fuel for status: passion. Status is gained simply by infusing your heart and soul into the world. You can lift all you want, read all you want, work all you want, but if your soul isn’t in it, then everything you do is inherently fake. You must find meaning and passion in everything you do. This will create a lightheartedness within you, a radiance if light. When you become like a sun, everything gravitates towards you. People will want to be around you. Customers will give you their money and support because they believe in you. People are inspired by you. Your presence makes reality better and that is truly the only measure of a high status man imo. You can have all the riches in the world, but if your heart is black, sooner or later the charade is up and you will come crashing down from the illusory position of status that was created through forgeries

This is not really what I was looking for
