men seek partners based on status i.e how much value they believe others will assign 

true or not?

ya this is a general statement, i don't think it's true for all men and its subconscious 

the basic premise is that if others value her, then you probably should. but i think the way (young) men tend to value (for a lack of better of term) is based on what media sells. not their actual lived in reality 

true love is a choice i think as well, it doesn't just happen without some effort :) maybe some luck, who's to say

I chose my wife because I am in love. The best part of it was that it didn’t feel like a choice because it was so obvious this is who I was going to spend the rest of my life with. But I suspect that I’m just lucky

eating bugs! loving it! owning nothing! happy!

this is the way 

does she listen to you ramble about what you're interested in? that shit is gold

We're into similar things and she's really kino.

haha yes. makes you wonder if approval of others is sufficient for happiness

agreed

i think it affects men's thinking more than ppl realise 

for instance, low status men will target high performing females, but high status males will treat females more like equals

perceived status in which way though? 🤔 not sure in america that a man would get status unless they are marrying up or something. unless we are talking about having a stay at home wife where it is valued in some circles. or perceived status from having an attractive partner. 

personally for me it was always about the vibe (and loyalty, attraction, connection, etc among other things) not status.

subconciously, males assign value to a female partner based on the perceived status

it's like stated vs revealed preference

a girl said it to me once and it stuck with me. I'm just curious on farcasters thoughts

It can be true but not absolute. For me I married my wife bc we instantly clicked as if I knew her for decades already I didn’t care about her background or what others thought
