Listen, you don’t need to be a Rockstar or a billionaire to have status. All you need to do is make money and have people show respect and admiration for you. You get to decide how you want to signal status, but the more status you have, the more doors that will open up for you and, ultimately, the better you will do with women.
Even ugly men of status do well with women. Mick Jagger, the lead singer of the Rolling Stones, was as ugly as they come. Yet, as a lead singer of a high status band, women didn’t care about his looks because of his status. As legend has it, he once left a date with Angelina Jolie no less, to have a one-night stand with Farrah Fawcett.
When women ask what you do for a living, she doesn’t particularly care about the “what” part. She is merely trying to be polite and curious about your status. More importantly, what she’s really trying to do is assess how much money you earn.
