I (23 M) have been into the red pill philosophy since 2020. Since then, I’ve been consistently working on self-improvement — reading books, leveling up my social skills, understanding shit tests, staying in my frame, trying not to be a nice guy, being assertive, hitting the gym, taking care of my appearance to the point where I once reached 15% body fat, etc.

I know that’s not extremely lean, but at that point, I got a lot of attention from both women and even men, especially because I used to be obese back in high school. The way society treated me changed drastically — a full 180. People started calling me attractive, maybe because I have an angular face shape, which started to show more clearly at 15% body fat. I could've pushed to 12% if I had gone through an extreme cut, but to be honest, it was too difficult for me. Now I'm around 20% body fat (80 kg at 5'9" / 175 cm). I'm currently looking to elevate my social status even more.

I understand that women are generally attracted to high-status men — the kind who are desired by other women and respected by other men. I'm in the final semester of my studies and about to graduate. So far, I've built a solid group of male friends who respect me and are tight-knit. But I feel like I don't have many female friends who are conventionally attractive (HB 7–9). There are probably several girls in my department who secretly like me, but most of them aren't really my type (around HB 5–6). I want to level up my game by improving my social status through increasing my competence, social skills, finances after graduation, and even improving my Instagram presence (right now I only have around 330 followers).

From what I know, social status can be built by offering valuable information to your tribe, organizing social events, having resources (not to attract gold diggers — it’s just a fact that all genders value this), being a linchpin (the go-to guy in many situations), and having access to high-value individuals. I'm currently planning to apply for the special officer entrance exam for graduates. I know it might sound shallow, but in my country, police officers — especially those who start from officer ranks — tend to be respected, and many women are attracted to the stable lifestyle and benefits guaranteed by the state.

The main reason I'm choosing this path is not to attract gold diggers, but because becoming a police officer would give me life stability — with guaranteed income and benefits until old age. In my country, police also tend to have access to valuable information and build strong networks with important people, giving them access to high-value individuals. Yes, it might sound shallow, but my reasoning is based more on practicality: I won’t have to worry about getting laid off like in corporate jobs, and the position is relatively secure even if it doesn’t make me rich.

Aside from that, I’ve inherited a business from my parents that still has the potential to generate good income. I plan to run that as a side hustle once I become an officer. And since police work here isn’t as time-consuming as working in high-pressure startups, I’ll be able to allocate more time to level up my game with women and also focus on that business. I live in a third-world SEA country where most women still value and uphold the patriarchy — very different from the U.S., where feminism dominates and government workers are often made to bend to manipulative women.

With that being said, what should I start preparing now to build high social status in the police environment (assuming I make it to the officer training camp), so I can level up my game, raise my social value, befriending in high value social circles and attract or at least befriend more attractive women?

TLDR: I'm a 23M who's been into red pill since 2020, focusing on self-improvement, fitness (was 15% body fat, now 20%), and social skills. I've gained respect from male peers, but I want to boost my social status to attract higher-value women (HB 7–9).

I'm planning to become a police officer for stability, respect, and access to high-value networks, while running a side business I inherited. What should I start doing now to build strong social status in the police force and level up my social and dating life?
