Status Dynamics and Fractality

Contemplating the question of improving one's SSH status

One of the most common questions I have received over the years since first articulating the Socio-Sexual Hierarchy in 2010 is how a man can increase his SSH status. My contention, as regular readers here are aware, is that while it is theoretically possible for a man to do so, it is both unlikely and extraordinarily difficult due to the way in which men’s behavioral patterns are formed at a relatively early age and remain ingrained on an instinctual level even when a man develops strong self-discipline at a conscious level.

But the fact that something is difficult and unlikely doesn’t mean we have to ignore it.

Now, there are obviously four primary factors that go into a man’s SSH status:

• behavioral patterns

• perceptions of other men

• female attraction

• the relevant hierarchy

Of the four, it is the relevant hierarchy that is the most important. Female attraction is second, followed by behavioral patterns and perceptions of other men. One thing I have noticed is that both the perceptions of other men and even a man’s behavioral patterns take a backseat to female attraction; if you’re regularly drawing the attention of top tier women, it really doesn’t matter what you do or how other men see you, they will grant you status, however begrudgingly, if the women drawn to you are more attractive than the women drawn to theirs.

Successful influencers know this, which is why they pay strippers and prostitutes to surround them and pretend to adore them on social media. It’s all an illusion constructed specifically to acquire SSH status on false grounds, as one stripper hired for precisely this purpose points out.

I just want to point out that the guys behind these accounts hire us (sex workers) to hang out with them and take pictures lmao. Last summer I was on a boat with 4 other women and the guys who booked it took selfies and Snapchats with us all day, which ended up on one guys "alpha male" account where he was like "these women flock to me". Sir we were there because you paid us to sit in on a rented boat with you. That guy also went on weird rants about women's age and was like "look at all these 20 year old girls I hang out with, not like those HAGS over 25". Reader, half the women on that boat were over 30, and that dung beetle and ALL his followers literally could not tell. They have no fucking clue. In the strip club they regularly ask 32 year old strippers with kids if they're in school because they think they're 21. They cannot tell.

So, obviously, “pay to fake female attraction until you generate it” is one viable option. Needless to say, I’m dubious of the long-term utility of this strategy, but it will almost certainly work to land a more attractive girlfriend than one might otherwise be able to acquire. This certainly appears to have worked for Dan Bilzerian, although it strikes me as having been an awful lot of time, effort, and money to have devoted to landing an 8. But, clearly, it is an option for those low-status men with the resources and stamina to invest in such a strategy.

However, there are likely better options, which will be discussed in a future post. But in the meantime, don’t make the mistake of believing the illusion is real, and definitely don’t attempt to adjust your thinking or your approach to life on the basis of things that are obviously and intrinsically false.
