How important is having social status when attempting to date women? In my view, it is one of the most important, if not THE most important, aspects of successful dating. It can be the difference between having zero dates and having a plethora of dates with gorgeous women. Fortunately, I have been on both sides of social status, from when I couldn’t score a date with the opposite sex, and then, to having more women available to me than I could go out with.

How about you? Are you tired of feeling stuck in your dating life? Elevating your social status can open up a world of opportunities to date beautiful women and form meaningful connections. The great news is that it’s entirely possible to change your social status, just as I have done through my travels and experiences. You can even elevate your social status in just a few hours.

My number #1 suggestion is to travel overseas, also called geomaxxing, which is the best and quickest way to elevate your social status. Traveling overseas can instantly raise your social status and gain a fresh perspective on dating. I’ll cover more in this article. We’ll also explore crucial concepts, including building a social network, personal development, and optimizing your social status online. Each of these factors plays an integral role in not only improving your status but also attracting the right kind of women into your life.

Raise Your Social Status By Traveling Overseas (Geomaxxing)

Geomaxxing, or traveling overseas to maximize your dating potential, is a hidden gem for boosting your social status. Many women in different countries are open to dating foreign men, and if you date in third-world countries, your social status will elevate the moment you land.

In countries like the Philippines, Colombia, Thailand, Brazil, and the Dominican Republic, I have experienced instant rises in social status from the moment I got off the airplane. In these places, my perceived value soared significantly because the cost of an airplane ticket often equates to several months’ salary for the locals. It’s important to maintain respect and integrity despite the socio-economic disparity, but you will find that the dating pool may be much more receptive than back home.

Remember not to abuse this situation. Always approach dating with respect and integrity. Nevertheless, your chances of attracting beautiful women can increase dramatically by simply being in these new environments.

Building A Social Network

To borrow a phrase from the great American president John F Kennedy: “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” Let’s turn this around by saying,

“Ask not what your network can do for you, ask what you can do for your network.”

Giving to it is the key to having a great social life or building a robust social network. You get out what you put into it. You can’t just be a taker, but instead, you should be providing value to your social network. It doesn’t need to be monetary. Whether it is your presence or thoughtful messages, you make an effort to show that you care for the people in your network.

Getting involved in your favorite hobbies, especially if you can secure leadership positions within these activities, will raise your social status. As a byproduct, you may become more attractive to women who share those interests. For example, as an avid tennis player, I have taken on roles as a team captain in adult leagues in my home city. This involvement has significantly expanded my social circle and boosted my status among peers, including women in my tennis leagues.

Building a vibrant network doesn’t mean just doing it for the social perks. It’s about genuinely contributing to the community and building meaningful relationships. You will find your efforts in establishing connections and consistently being part of the group will reflect positively on your status.

Personal Development = Long-Term Growth & Social Status

Personal development is the cornerstone of elevating your social status. Over the years, I have raised several levels of social status due to my long-term commitment to this growth process. Adopting an attitude of “never-ending, continuous self-growth” will take your social status up several paradigm shifts over time. It involves making constant improvements in yourself, even sacrificing short-term gratifications for the sake of long-term growth.

A widely known concept in pickup artist (PUA) communities is working on your “inner game,” which means personal development. Making yourself attractive to the opposite sex, especially beautiful women, is an ongoing process that requires dedication and patience. Instead of wasting time on Netflix, playing video games, or indulging in unhealthy snacks that do nothing for you, commit to activities that foster long-term growth. After all, there is no faking genuine growth as a man, even if “faking it until you make it” produces temporary results.

Personal development demands discipline, responsibility, and a focus on long-term goals. Without clear goals and a vision, you might drift aimlessly. Cultivating success in various areas such as career, finances, health and fitness, spirituality, and community involvement will inherently make you more attractive and boost your social status. Moreover, as you grow, you may find yourself attracted to different types of women than you did initially, especially ones of higher quality.

Optimize Your Social Status Online

In today’s digital world, your online presence is a significant factor in your social status. Most people put their best foot forward on social media and dating platforms, and you should too. Women often take hundreds of photos just to choose the perfect one to post on Instagram. Why not apply the same strategy?

Consider hiring a professional photographer to take high-quality photos of you. Remove any unflattering images and avoid mirror selfies, as they do not present you in the best light. Instead, add photos showcasing your travels and exciting activities. While the goal isn’t to misrepresent yourself, there’s no harm in presenting yourself as attractively as possible.
