We're talking about the same thing in a different way. All those positive characteristics are attractive to you and to other people, and people who have those qualities tend to acquire status. Those qualities indicate the man will have some sort of status and that's what makes them desirable in the first place.
Raw status is a bit different though, which is what I meant when I said that raw status relationships might not necessarily be "real" relationships.
For example some guy who is a miserable person to be around, could come into an awful lot of money or have a very high position in society, and there is no doubt that he will have access to more beautiful women than he can shake a stick at.
But, if he's such a miserable guy, is he having a "genuine" relationship? I doubt it.
But at the end of the day, no matter what kind of status the guy has, genuine inherent status or situational status, he has more options when it comes to women.
