This is equivalent to "choose your peer group/tribe/cohort wisely" Whatever you pick for your status game needs to align with your "tribe" to ensure you feel respected and connected even as you pursue your "status game". You might as well choose the crowd you feel most aligned with deep down and then pick a status game that most resonates for you and that "tribe". Because you have an affinity to that crowd it's likely there's one or more "status games" you all value. I think I've seen this advice earlier but can't recall where.
