Agreed, while I am only 23 I could care less about the status of someone. As long as we have shared values and get along I would be happy, be it with a doctor or the doctor’s secertary

True, it is not about status. But along with 'shared values' you need to be able to communicate and have other things in common. That usually means similar intellect and intelligence (not necessarily education). Not identical but there has to be compatibility there. If you can't respect someones judgement even if at times you disagree, then you are in for a rocky road.

Many women appear to be more interested in getting a particular (high-status) guy as part of their competition with other women. Personally, I’ve always found this extremely creepy and vaguely homo-erotic.
