you could have screwed 100 girls before her and she wouldn't know.
all of this stuff is IRRELEVANT. it's not gonna make her want you more. it's all about looks.
i have status and in my college classes, im lucky if i can get a girl to sit in the same row as me much less next to me.
there are two kinds of status though. absolute status: the kind i have where nobody knows about my stuff.
relative status: this is what really counts. it's not how much you've accomplished, have to offer etc. , it's how much of that info gets spread around. a person with less status who gets his stuff spread around better will have a better rep than someone with more status who has everything all bottled up.
so in the other words, it helps to brag and get people to brag for you. this increases your chances of that random girl having heard of you before. but still not likely. out of 20,000 students what are the chances that the girl will know who you are.
ask 100 random girls if they know who joe smith (the best basketball player in the university is) and at best 10 of those girls will know who he is. go down to say the best soccer player and the number becomes like 2 out of 100.
