Looks, money, or status. Which one FTW and why?

[nismo-4]

This is the holy trinity of guys meeting the best of women, as if you have one or more of these things, you don't have to try at all. If you have none, you gotta pray that the girl will be receptive to your advances or you have a greater chance of being blown out.

Also, if you have one of these things, the other two will follow.

1. Looks can enable you to become a model or have it easier getting a job which brings money and eventually status because you turn a lot of heads like a Bugatti would on Interstate 20.

2. Money can get you good looks if you don't already and money exudes status and wealth. It makes others respect you and gives you carte blanche to hang with the most attractive women, upping your value in the process.

3. Status can get you money from those below you trying to come up and as stated above money can get you good looks if you don't have them already.

All three of these command respect and bring women to you on a regular basis BTW.

But which one of these is the ultimate winner and why do you think so?

Hands down it is status (fame)

That's why there is the funny saying: 'You want girls? Just join a band.'

Fame is the absolute purest form of social proof - it is DHV to the max

Wow, dude. You are seriously delusional. If you are good-looking, you don't have to try at all.

Just...wow. Don't get down on yourself, dude. You're obviously not a very attractive guy (since you clearly aren't speaking from experience), but don't worry. You can still pull plenty of hotties. Confidence trumps all three. Fame trumps all four.

Status.... no doubt about that....

first you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the women...

To be honest, i know TONS of guys who people would consider good looking (even model like good looks) who SUCK with women. Their arrogance is either off the charts, OR they "just don't know what to say to women." One of these guys i know has recently married a 300 lbs dolphin face hag! And she controls the sh!t out of him.... it's sad... and he'll get fat and old, and then will have no chance of getting better...

So looks being a trump card get abig thumbs down from me! But, i know no guys who have REAL MONEY who don't have their pick of many women.

I tie money and status together, because unless you're in some famous broke indy band or a poor broke artist with a fanbase of some sort - your status will come with your money and success.

None of these will allow you to get any woman you want; nor will they stop a woman from cheating on you or breaking up/divorcing you - but they sure won't hurt to have.

If it's strictly about getting women, LOOKS.

If it's about everyday life, MONEY. I'm tired of working and hate stressing about future bills and loss of employment. I want freedom and choice.

 

[Poonani Maker]

I believe it's intelligence that displays immense creativity (not boring them), though Many, many, women are money grubbin wh0res.

 

[Julius_Seizeher]

Do not think of money merely as nice stuff...money is the engine of success, it multiplies itself when put to good use and it measures the degree to which we use our potential...money is often rationalized as being the stuff of "beta providers", eliminate this roadblock from your mind immediately. A man who had the guts and determination to chase glory, who created awesome things, was a man who climbed to the pinnacle of Alpha Mountain...

I certainly do not deny the existence of beta providers, nor do I absolve them of their shame. But money is the ultimate tool of the Alpha male, it is the measure of your manhood, and to say otherwise is to make it easier for guys like me.

Chasing women is not my consuming ambition, and I should hope it isn't yours either.

Ok, assuming your question is which is best for attracting women:

Status hands down imo. I acknowledge that some women are rather shallow and go for the good looking guys because they want the eye candy and some women are gold diggers who will go for the money because they want everything bought for them. But it is my opinion that more women will go for the guy who has status as the person "they can brag to their friends about" and because status is a bigger demonstration of character than the other 2.

If your asking for which is best for a man on the whole, I'm not sure. I guess it depends on your life goal. Some people want to be rich so they can buy the lifestyle they want. Some people want to 'be somebody' and want either fame or admiration from peers more than money. Looks is hard to evaluate since people are given what they have and can't change it (plastic surgery aside).

This is how I should have asked the question. Thanx!

I thought this was understood as this is a men's dating forum.

 

[OzyBoy]

I think money is the most important. Without it you are just going to be a bum.

 

[sodbuster]

Money gives you status. AND money makes your life more interesting-with or without a woman. Status alone won't pay your bills.

 

[Pimp-sicle]

Like a girl's period; here's Nismo's monthly "Looks, Money, Status" thread

Get out there in the field and work on your game.

You know what I'm talking about!

Often times status brings money as stated in the original post but you're right about the fact that status alone won't pay your bills unless there's money to back it up. Chief officers are an exception obviously.

 

[Megaman XIV]

I'd have to say looks. They get you in the door initially but if you have no game or are a bore then you're out.

Money shouldn't be flashed unless you're willing to be a sugar daddy to a girl who will trade up in a heartbeat and will have sex with every stud in town. If the girl knows you got money, you can give her false hope which challenges her BTW.

Status can help too as it is alpha. But you're desirable because of WHAT you are as opposed to WHO you are.

I'd definitely rather a woman want me for my looks as it makes you more f**kable in her eyes and makes her rethink leaving you. Unless the new guy is better looking, financially, and status than you are.

 

[mustfirstregister]

I bet you if i have a lot of money i can get more girls than you guys if you pick status or looks.

 

[Just a Shot Away]

I don't know why you guys are entertaining a poll put up by a guy that says "girls will do whatever it takes to get with you if you are good-looking." He's obviously a troll or some chrome-domed white boy sitting in his parents' basement stuffing his fat face full of Cheetoes and soda.

Either way, this thread is garbage. Responding to the question is like rooting through the trash for scraps.

This is an interesting viewpoint. It reminds me of the many guys I meet who "have" a hot girlfriend, but sort of wither into the background when an alpha male comes and talks to her. The guy knows that I am ripping her vag1na apart when she comes to my house, but chooses to ignore it and "takes her back" when I am done with her. The fact is, attractive women have more options than unattractive women, and all males want an attractive woman. This makes them a scarce resource.

So how do you get one then? Game?

Is that your final answer?

LOL! The concept of "game" stems from the idea that a male (who has no desirable traits) can "trick" a girl into thinking that he is actually desirable by displaying traits that mimic the males who actually are desirable. For instance, being confident is a trait associated with attractive males/high status males.

A complete dork can go out and be confident and the girl might think that he is hiding his true status by creating mystery in her mind. She will of course find out later that his entire life is a facade and he is nothing more than a loser who pretended to be something he never was. So, this chump ass guy go to nail this girl one time and she will never call him again. Woo hoo... congratulations. Is that how you want to live your life? Do you want every girl to think you are awesome for a few hours, then find out that you were a complete fvck-off later?

How about this: Try being what the girl wanted anyways and not faking it. Then, confidence will come naturally...why? Because you will have something to be confident in. I hate to admit this, but it sure does feel nice to walk around a club and have other guys look up to you and have girls grab you without you saying anything. Its one of the perks of being good-looking. I don't understand how guys can say that they are really attractive and can't get a girl. It baffles me to no end actually, because I used to just stand on a corner outside a club and women would walk up and talk to me. A few simply walked up and asked for sex... Though that was kind of wierd, honestly.



Now, lets say you want to keep this girl-- you might consider status or wealth as something you can be confident in. When I was younger and in the music industry, I literally could walk into the crowd with my production credentials, take any girl from any guy and bring her backstage and do whatever I wanted. Many times the boyfriend would be proud that "his" girl got chosen because she was so hot. Status allowed me infinite power in some situations-- and I do mean infinite. It might sound odd, but I had girls offer to do anything if I would let them backstage at some concert, and they were serious.

Wealth is more difficult to use as something that will get you a companion. In addition to just having money, you must have a sense of style and know how to spend it to maximize the value. You can't just spend all your money on a painting from the 16th century and think that females will be falling on your d1ck because of it. You must use your money to enhance your status, that is the key. A typical method that males use to do this is via their hobbies. If anyone here has spent time on a lake during summer, there is a distinct pecking order from males who have really nice boats and jetskis and males who do not. Girls will wave you down on the road as you are going to the lake because they want to ride with the guy who has the cool boat. Every hot girl wants to be on the hot boat...

And that is just one example.

If I had to choose, I would pick wealth. I feel that wealth lets you buy anything you want-- a nice body (plastic surgeon), status, whatever people consider valuable, you can buy it. I know a guy who wants to be famous for making electronic music...but he sucks. So, he just paid a European producer to make his music for him and guess what: Vag1na galore! Backstage passes! Tours! But again, this is not the only way.

 

[Wasabi_Master]

I would pick good looks because I like the reward feeling from earning your money which will hopefully at the same time create character and status...plus your learning in life in order to excel. If i had a lot of money from the beggining i would probably be addicted to coke right now like some of my friends. I think when it comes to money "easy come, easy go"
