Ladies, what do you find more important when choosing a male partner: High status or Money? I had an argument with a friend and made the point that status is more important than money. I've never seen a guy in a high status position ever struggle with women, but plenty of men with money can't find dates despite making 6 or 7 figures. Lots of guys think that having a big check will make women attracted to them, but its no guarantee.
You are correct!
I'd MUCH prefer status over money if I had to choose between the two, but neither is necessary.
I know things like money and status get overhyped in the manosphere though.
I wonder if this is one of those Men's Rights things. Those types tend to obsess over fringe phenomena that they take to be the norm for women, then they get all worked up about it. Don't believe everything you read on the internet, OP.

Can you give me an example of someone with high status who wouldn't have money?
Assuredly! High-profile political dissidents and whistle-blowers, billionaire activist investors who made one bad bet and now have negative net worth, scientists whose discoveries made them famous but didn't result in financial windfalls. One of the highest-status young men in the world right now is Edward Snowden. And he's probably bankrupt.

Men actually DO keep such lists, at least mentally. The great frustration for men is failure to recognize that women don't think likewise. A guy might say, "But I'm a great candidate on paper... job, house, career, body, face, smile, etc. - so why hasn't she fallen in love with me yet?" It is because women "evaluate" on intangibles that men are so aghast by female "flightiness".

This is a blunder that I made several times in my past dating history. I'd explain to my date: "But honey, if you become my wife, you could strut about in pride and satisfaction that you're 'wife of so-and-so', impressing all of your friends". Oddly enough, that remark was not ebulliently received.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't consider Edward Snowden to be of high status.

Your thinking has become jaded by a bunch of misogynists on here, who have had so little success, or too afraid to try, dating that they blame the evil robot women for their own failures and ascribe to them conspiratorial motives that simply don't exist for the large majority of women you will date (assuming you are not a member of that crowd).
