For those women who care what others think of their BFs, is high status itself (not his confidence) a sexual turn on like boobs are for men? Eg. a TV presenter, CEO, famous musician, etc.

Im a woman and although status does come from ambition which is incredibly sexy, i do find other things a turn on like them being able to make me laugh, like me for who i am and know they care about me. I think as a general rule, the women who care solely about fame,money etc are the wrong type of girl if you want a relationship rather than just sex. It all depends on whether you are thinking about what turns on a woman to get into a relationship with or to get a FWB. Hope this helped. X

k_c100 agony auntOk I'm female, and I can tell you this - a guy being famous is NOT a turn on, I would never want to date a famous musician, TV presenter....generally anyone who is in the public eye. I couldnt cope with the extended periods of separation and the fame, its not me at all so I would not be turned on by that.

However if a guy has status through his job like a CEO, partner in a law firm, director etc...then yes this is a turn on. I like my men to be intelligent, ambitious and driven, so if I met a man who was all of these things then the liklihood is that he is successful at work becaue of these characteristics. There are not many amibitious intelligent men out there who work in dead end jobs! It isnt about the money for me - if the man in question had started his own incredibly successful charity and it was not for profit, that would still be as attractive.

I work very hard, I am ambitious and I have a good career - I want my man to match up to that, rather than being with some guy who bums around, doing whatever job he can just to scrape by and living day to day. I want to know I am with someone who can plan for a future with me, provide for me and possibly a family one day, and most importantly who shares similar values to me.

I hope this helps and good luck!

chigirl agony auntYes. Hight status is a turn on. Money too, and if the two are combined you're a chick magnet. However, it might be the wrong kind of girl, so watch out. Many will just do it to brag about it, same as some men will brag about who they got in bed... Women do the same. If they had sex with someone of high status they might not care about the man at all and only do it for the "fame" and for having something to brag about to their girlfriends.

I m a woman and i think wat matters more for a woman is how much d man cares about her,,how much d man loves her.High status matters only for the first impression and later the significance decreases.

I'm not famous or wealthy, but I am pretty accomplished, and I have a relative who is a pretty famous actor. I am not the type to wear these things on my sleeve, but it often seems as soon as these things come up, women seem more interested in me...some more than others. I think part of the reason for the change in behaviour is I don't come off as anything much. In fact, I come off as pretty much of a dud, or at the very least, a very typical guy.

This has actually worked pretty well for me, because the women who tend to stick around, learn to like me as I am...then the accomplishments and whatnot are like an added bonus after they have already gotten to know me. I find that women who want a Resume up front or expect you to show up in designer clothes or an expensive car, often lack what I am looking for in a woman. Consequently, I have many of these things, but keep them at home. It has occurred, more than once, that I get a woman who thinks I'm a bit of a dud but agrees to go home with me and once she sees my stuff, suddenly transformed into a whole different woman. I usually do not continue it past that night when this is the case. When they ask why, I tell them why. ...just my way of hitting back at materialistic bitches.

A male reader, Odds United States +, writes (15 August 2011):

Odds agony auntI recall reading a study that women have more orgasms with rich and high-status men than with low-status men; I'll have to see if I can dig that up later.

More importantly, a woman's ability to orgasm is not as "mechanical" as it is with a guy. There is a strong emotional/intellectual component to it, and being with a guy they look up to and strongly respect would tend to make it easier to get into that state of mind. I'd say high status is a good way of getting her there.

I am a woman, and it's an attractive quality. Men are attracted to beautiful women, and women are attracted to powerful men. It's not the only thing obviously, but if you could have that as an addition, it would be great.

spinnaker agony auntI would imagine such qualites spark interest in some women - not all. Like any other novelty it becomes less significant over time.
