You do not need status symbols to attract a mate. In fact they will probably be counterproductive as you'll attract people interested in your status symbols, not in you. Which just sets you up for grief down the road when they figure out.
Attracting a mate is all about projecting confidence and interest. A status symbol may be one way to do that but it's a very shallow way that ultimately doesn't get you all that far unless your mate is a shallow golddigger.

I always found the reverse to be true. If you are a "nice" guy that a girl would want to take home to meet the parents you can pretty easily maintain the relationship, but it is harder to get them started... I am generally speaking of course.
This however is bullshit.
not all women look for the "nice" guy when they first meet. A lot of men are nice guys. you need to be different than most if you want to attract the girl YOU want to be with. Thinking being a nice guy is good enough is a recipe for disaster. Elocism is right that pea cocking will attract the beautiful women you want to bang, but if you have the alpha male/peacock attitude + you're a man with depth, intelligence with a great personality, you will get much further than the socially awkward nice guy that has trouble being confident.
I generally treat women as I would any other interesting person, if they are interesting. I feel no need to play games or be insincere about who I am, nor do I feel the need to lie or be dickish.. My charm and personality is always more then enough, I also don't do one night stands. I feel that if I'm just natural with them and relaxed they will be the same, and it works.
I also almost exclusively date girls who are in academia or have a background in it, I do no have sex with girls whom I do not like as a person same way I don't date just for sex.

You prove my point. Being the nice guy doesn't work to get them, duh. Being the nice guy KEEEPS them. Which is why it was harder for me to get them and not keep them.
Yeah i thought you meant when they would first meet someone who seems "nice". I just misinterpreted what you meant..

When I was younger I was bigger on brands. The only people who cared were people I didn't like.

To get my wife I was sauve, cool and debonair, then I stole her parking space. The first time she ever spoke to me she swore at me, that was 27 years ago, I must have done something right.

I don't care for designer brands at all, I want value. I have very nice things, but they have to be great at filling their role and at a price I find fair. I have never and will probably never buy an apple product for this very reason.

Its different these days... Women put out on date 3 as a rule. Most will do it on date one. You just have to be fun.
Keeping their attention over other guys is the hard part - not because the other guy is better, just because he is different.
Women settle down when they are ready - they find a guy and latch onto him.
It doesnt matter hiw nice you are , when she is ready to settle down then she will latch on to you.

You know what works best for attracting a mate? - being yourself. Live your life, be comfortable with who you are. The rest will fall into place.

I have no input on this subject.
I dress in clothes from thrift stores most of the time and drive around in a Honda Civic or a KIA Optima most of the time.
But I do like to pick a date up in a Porsche after I get a woman to go out with me. It surprises them, and exceeding expectations in some area on the first date is vital. Yeah, maybe they will be amazed at my humor and affable nature....but maybe they wont. Gotta use everything you have if you want to get to where you want to go.
I'm not above using "status symbols" to impress. Hell, I'm not above just about anything.  |
