As I pulled up, this guy in his suit was just getting out of his car, along with his friends. Keep in mind, I only had on some sweatpants and a regular t-shirt. So as I was walking to the restaurant, the suit guy and his friend were walking at the same pace as me. Then suddenly, the suit guy hurries to the door and....opens it up for me. I told the guy that I should be opening the door for him since he's at least wearing a suit. His reply? "Well sir, today is the exception." The only thing I can conclude from that interaction was that the guy perceived me as higher status, thanks in part to DMSI. Now if guys are perceiving me in that regard, I can only imagine how women are reacting internally in my presence.
Very interesting.
When I was interviewing millionaires for BAMM, I noted that they tend to dress in one of three styles, and that style will give you some hint as to how they became millionaires.
Style 1 is ultra sharp top level suit, tie, etc. every day, all the time. These are consummate business specialists.
Style 2 is extremely expensive casual clothes. These are the "born wealthy".
Style 3 is the "WTF, YOU are a millionaire?" jeans and a shirt type. These are usually the self made millionaires who have a lot of status and self worth, without any insecurities about it.
The highest status of all three, by attitude and body language? Style 3. The ones so high status and wealthy that they no longer give a fuck.
They only slightly edge out Style 1, and not always, but usually.
