Campus?

Depends how big your campus is. If everyone knows each other reputation matters, but if it's a typical american diploma mill thing with over 30k students, nah.

College is low to mid 20's, at that age only how attractive you are matters to most girls.

retarded / overthink / excuses

Hot women just feel entitled to hot men, esp at your age. Becky doesn't give a fuck about 'status' when she goes behind the club, kneels down next to the dumpster and sucks Tyrones cock. She doesn't care that he doesn't have $5 to his name, and that he's a loser.

Stop looking for excuses and face reality.

Ordinary women only allow the top 10% of men to smash and dash (sex outside of relationships). Hot women will only allow the top 1% of men to pump and dump them.

The market for hook ups is totally different to the market for LTRs. Think about it this way ... ALL MEN want hook ups, strings free sex. Not many women want it, and when they do, they only want it rarely, because it is socially unacceptable to be a degenerate slut. So the demand for hook ups is very very overrepresented by men. So women can be really picky when it comes to hook ups.

The good news: you say you can smash average or below average - that means you must be in the top 10% of men. If you are having issues smashing the hottest women, it must be that you aren't top 1%.

forget status - that is losers talk. When I was younger I had zero status, and got loads of action. I now have loads of status, and its harder to get action. The one thing young dudes need to learn is this: status and money does not get you laid.

Right guy, right time, right place

The hotter the guy the more likely it's all three. It's not REQUIRED but he realistic.

This is one of those questions just asking us how you can defy reality/look for loopholes because becoming hot is too much work

Ar least that's the basic component of such questions

No.

You just need to have good things going for yourself and a good personality. Be attractive. Some guys aren't high status but slay.

Do you need status to get hot women?

For just sex: not at all.

For long-term: no, but it helps. Just be careful of gold-diggers.

Honestly, yes. Women's interest in you is entirely based on what she thinks your other options are. Even if you meet her in the grocery store or something, she'll base what she thinks your status is off what can see (your looks, clothes, and especially confidence). If she can't be sure she'll ask for the IG. A man's looks are not what really attracts a woman, his good looks make her think "he must get a ton of other women, i want him".

It's not status, it's pre-selection/mate choice copying and social proof. You can fake all that on instagram and get into lots of pussies.
