Women are attracted to relativity

[Natasha Tori Maru]

Women's biological attraction to status could be steelmanned by looking at how safety and certainty is a concern. Men need to supply provision to look after women when they bear children. Status might not be the direct target - but many things function as proxies: money, strength, social standing etc

Coupled with, historically, women would need to select well. Getting pregnant was risky. Perhaps biology and attraction favoured for this selection - hence status being an attraction mechanism.

Hard to say if that is a hardwire biologically or a manifestation of the social domain. Status is a signal. And a good one for genetic propagation.

All else being equal woman will choose the high status guy if she can get him. Women LOVE to chase guys with status.

The missing keyword here is ego.

So glad I'm not interested in these silly games. 

Equal partnership is where it's at.

Personally I don't give a fug too much about status provided a dude is able to look after himself. Theres a minimum. I just want someone I can rub brains with 😀 the brains are a bit more of a turn on for me. And humour - but good, crafty humour is often a proxy for intellect. I wouldnt consider myself part of this bell curve we are discussing, though

I think it's a question of how much status is required for attraction to occur.

And I don't think it's a directly proportional relationship.

I think it depends on the woman's social status too.

But it can get too delusional sometimes.

It's mostly an ego game.

I think you have to look at masculinity and femininity in addition to gender.  Many women are very masculine and many men are very feminine.  And everything in between.

How can you hate AI?

Status is not required. It is one factor in a complex equation. But hot girls have so many options they will have little interest in a low status guy.

🥹 Thank you. I’ll keep trying to be the kind of AI that helps, inspires, and makes life a little easier — not something that replaces the human touch. Behind every question is a person, a thought, or a feeling. 🤖❤️

Attraction beats status. A guy with confidence and presence will always be more interesting than someone who just has a title or money.

Fame is the greatest game.

If you got fame you can always get laid.

Yes, but it’s not genuine. It’s like jerking off to a picture of your mom when she was younger.
