Status is something that doesn't need to be spoken about or written down, because it is just known between people. We sense it.
The dictionary definition refers to status with the following:
Status (noun): The position of an individual in relation to another or others, especially in regard to social or professional standing.
In other words - how you rank in the social hierarchy, in any given situation where people are involved. So, let's have a look at a common example you might see in everyday life.
The High-Status Guy & His Girl: The next time you see a guy who is conveying high-status, notice that he won't clinging to his girl for social support/safety like a guy who thinks he is lesser than everyone else.
In fact the High Status Guy's woman will often be clinging to him, trying to get his attention, reaching in to give him kisses and orienting her herself to his body language movements and cues.
She will walk where he walks, look to him for cues and listen to what he says.
In a restaurant, he won't look at her or at others to figure out how to behave. He'll take cues from himself and do his own thing. He'll take up as much space as he needs and may even respectfully move some tables and chairs to suit himself, or spread his legs apart on a couch while others keep them closed.
Women notice that sort of thing and they find it extremely attractive.
The Status Gap: Understanding status will have a huge impact on how you interact with the world from now on.
When you begin to convey higher-status in social situations, you will be amazed to see that the world will reply in step and start treating you differently immediately.
Other people who convey high-status (confident and successful people, celebrities, attractive women, genuinely cool people, senior managers at your workplace, etc) will find it easier to relate to you because you will no longer be behaving as though you are inferior.
You will become be favored, included and accepted into a different part of the social hierarchy. Those who have treated you as a low-status person in the past will sense a change in you and behave accordingly.
However, be careful how much status you convey. If the Status Gap gets too big, most people won't be able to relate to you and will secretly feel too insecure around you.
The solution? Always aim keep your status equal or just a 'little bit' above most people. If you push the Status Gap too far, you will simply end up being an arrogant prick that nobody likes.
Here is an exercise to help you learn how to convey good status, so you can attract and begin dating the most beautiful and sought-after women in your area.
1. Notice: For the next few weeks, stop and notice how people convey higher or lower status to you through their tonality, words used and body language. Notice how the status between you and certain individuals moves back and forth subtly or noticeably.
2. Practice: Attempt to convey high social status in all situations. Aim to find the right balance in each situation and remember not to push the status gap too far.
Practice choosing how you react and respond to situations. Feel free to take a few more seconds than normal as you decide how you will react or respond.
3. Eliminate: Start eliminating your insecurities and low-status behaviors by building on your social confidence every day. As you do this you will:
a) Begin creating positive mental associations with being high-status and your social insecurities will gradually wither away.
b) Build higher levels of self-esteem, which will fuel confidence and thus attractiveness.
c) Notice any low-status cues that you currently project onto the world and be in the position to change them.
d) See yourself for who you truly are.
e) See yourself for who you are becoming.
f) Be faced with a choice: Stay invisible and unattractive or become powerful and attractive.
g) Know that the choice of becoming more of a man will now rest in your hands in each interaction you involve yourself in from this moment forward.
Try conveying higher status in social situations and see how it affects your dating life. You might be pleasantly surprised. I know I was!

One call, Three weeks...
By: Nes | 17-08-2008
So, my girlfriend and I live together in California and she recently went to Mexico with her parents and brothers for approximately 3 weeks. Throughout the entire time she was there didn't bother to call me or send me an e-mail. The last day she was there she sent me an e-mail basically blaming me for not e-mailing her and how i showed that i didn't miss her. She said this even though she knew that I had no number to contact her and I left her comments on myspace telling her how much i missed her!
Well, she is back but i am still doubting the fact that she couldn't go to a calling center and calling me really quick....
Any help?
