Because your status relates to your health and looks. Your status as a ceo lets you get facials and gym memberships with trainers and buying $150 facial cremes and eating better which helps skin and all other aspects of lean, athletic, muscular men...
So while you might not be attracted to his status on the surface level.. Men with better status, tend to look better overall, because their lifestyle allows it.. Same way a woman with status and money will have more time to work on herself vs a working mom with 2 jobs and bills. You're more likely to find the man you're looking for when he has access to a gym, whole foods and time to use it vs some broke dude eating off the dollar menu
