I already knew it but I instinctically had hope it wasn't true.
The stuff about social status or popularity being attractive to girls.
I experienced it first hand now so I can learn from my mistake........
I don't say that only because I'm kinda pissed at her. I say it because I think it is fact, and it's kinda nauseating.
Your issue was that you took a half measure. You learned a little game and you applied it half way. You didn't try to change yourself or the habits that you have that are inhibiting your game. You wanted to be able to stay, pretty much the same, yet have a completely different outcome. I am very proud of you that you took initiative and made a move. But if you want real success, you are going to have to perform a full measure. You can't half ass this, you have to commit yourself completely, and step out of your comfort zone, both mentally and in action.
I get the feeling you are a very moral guy that holds women in a very high esteem. Unfortunately you have now realized that they are not as kind and perfect beings as you assumed. You now realize that they can be shallow, they can be petty and egotistical. And most importantly, you've realized that even if you are perfect for them and their best option, they may not choose you if you can't back it up with game.
What you are failing to see that "game" is not manipulative. We are not trying to "trick" girls into doing anything. We are selling a product and the product is us. It's just marketing. But in this case its a product that women really want, really need. A product that can bring great value and happiness into their life, if they are just smart enough to take it. Unfortunately, without good marketing, no one will buy your product, no matter how good it is.
So think of it this way. Women are going to pair up with men no matter what. You are a good decent man, who will respect them and treat them right. If you don't know how to market yourself to women, you are denying women the option of being with you. Because you can't flirt and game properly, they don't get to be with you, and they have to settle for some douche who will treat them bad, but has game. So you owe it to your future girlfriends to improve your game, or else they may never meet you, and they will have to settle for the jerks of the world, instead of you.
Luckily you have stumbled upon PUA, and now you realize that game is just another skill that can be taught and learned. And if you dedicate yourself to learning, trying, and improving your skills in this part of your life, the possibilities are endless. But you have to allow yourself to change. If you hold too much to the way you are now, you will greatly limit your success, because right now it isn't working, and your only option is change. The only way to succeed with women more is to make a change, to allow yourself to grow and evolve, in your experience and your confidence and your skill. If you don't allow yourself to change, you don't allow yourself to grow.
But I digress. I'm just hoping you don't let this first bad experience stop you from continuing onward. The questions you should be asking yourself is "What have I learned from this experience? And how will it help me with women in the future?"
