STR8UP...
Try this (and I mean it):
Do NOT host any get together or party or overnight with "friends" at your place. Don't do it for 6 months. Then report back to us about how many women STILL show interest for YOU (not your place, not your lifestyle, but YOU). For the same token, report back and tell us how many men STILL show "friendship" for YOU (not your place, not your lifestyle, but YOU).
Okay, this is a whole 'nother debate, but lets just say that I have factored this in to my assessments of women.
There is no doubt in my mind that SOME of the women i have met over the past couple of years have been attracted to me at least in PART by my lifestyle and whatnot.
HOWEVER.......
That doesn't account for the VAST majority of them who show interest before they have seen my car, my condo, or have been to a party I hosted.
The first chick I hooked up with after I broke up with my last LTR went GAGA for me the first second she laid eyes on me. Her attraction was likely fueled by her FRIENDS attraction for me. Neither of these girls had seen my "stuff" before they were showing interest. I'm sure her friend talked up (we even had a convo about it, lol) but she didn't know what I was all about when we "clicked".
The first chick I really dated after I broke up with my g/f saw me in a club and grabbed my hat as I walked by. Turns out, I look over and realize that I knew a friend that she was with. This mutual friend knows me through business, so I have "status" in her eyes, but she had never been to my condo, and I hadn't seen her in a long time.
Another chick I went out with a few times recently was friends of friends. Met them out one night and caught her checking me out from across the room. Next thing you know, she's hitting on me. Then I'm at her place fukkiing the hell outa her. Had nothing to do with anything other than attraction.
Last night I went for dinner to a place I frequent. I'm sitting at the bar, and a chick comes up to me and starts talking to me. Turns out I met her a couple of times through a female friend of mine. She's never been to my place, and we have never partied outside of hanging out with our mutual friend. And this chick was ALL UP ON ME. "Give me your number!" "Here's mine, call me sometime!" Completely unsolicited, and she really doesn't know me other than my status conveyed through our mutual friend.
So I know where you are trying to go with this, and it does factor in a LITTLE. But for the most part, it's STATUS that gets my foot in the door.
Status is intangible. It exists only in the minds of the beholder. And when a chick becomes more attracted to you FOR your status, it isn't that she is USING you. It is a 100% natural aphrodisiac. A woman who is attracted to you for this reason is simply responding to her biological urges to mate with a high quality male.
