"It's all about the status"

I actually agree, but it's because of what the status means - that she is highly valued, and sought after by a man who will make efforts to provide her with the best.

I believe you nurture the man into the man you want him to be. Everything else falls into place.

People who are concerned with stuff to inflate their self worth usually end up with not much in most departments. Except maybe, a bunch of stuff.
