Networking and the Social Hierarchy:
The value of mentorship from mature women in high society.
I have a few mature women in my network that I consider mentors, who treat me with the utmost love and kindness as though I am their own daughter. They continuously pour decades worth of knowledge into me and Iâve been afforded numerous career opportunities by these women and access to rooms I wouldnât have been able to enter otherwise.
While Iâm fully aware that some mature women in high society can be quite hostile and donât appreciate the presence of new younger women in their circles, that simply isnât the case for all them.
If you lead with that narrative in mind when targeting affluent circles, by treating the mature women as your opposition and an after thought when building your social network,youâll be losing out on a lot of opportunities and you might not be able to cement yourself in that circle.
Now how do you successfully build relationships with mature women in high society:
When entering society events and manoeuvring affluent circles even if it is the main purpose of your attendance , do not solely focus your attention on engaging with the opposite sex.
Itâs never a good look nor will it be well received, especially if your goal is to cement yourself in the circle,always prioritise connecting with the women.
Far too many young women enter into society with this air of arrogance, under the assumption that all the mature women are threatened and envious of them. So much so that they show very little regard and respect in their interactions with them.
When approaching them, respect is paramount. I didnât think it was worth mentioning at first but Iâve seen so many ladies shunned out for their lack of respect. Mind your manners đ
These women are well aware of their position in society and how beneficial it can be to be associated with them. When seeking to build a relationship, keep in mind that relationships are a two way street,youâre meant to provide as much value as you expect in return.
If you approach them with the intent to just take, take and take, youâll be met with a wall that will be impossible to climb over.
If they instead view you as a young woman with immense value to provide, theyâll gladly take you under their wing.
Ensure that you are forming a genuine connection based on shared views, interests and aspirations.
Lastly once a relationship has been established, be teachable and willing to take advice, you donât know it all. Mature women are vessels of wisdom and their sound advice can set you years ahead.
The benefits of maintaining great mentor-mentee relationships with mature women in high society:
Navigating a new field can be daunting, unfortunately textbooks wonât adequately prepare you for the challenges youâll face once you embark on your career. Having someone guide you along the way will ease the transition into the field and the climb up the ladder.
Having a mentor is highly beneficial especially in fields that are difficult to break into or heavily gate kept.
These women are well connected and can align you with career opportunities that perhaps would have taken years to accomplish on your own.
Last point, as it pertains to dating, mature women generally have the intel on the high quality men worth entertaining and the low quality men you should be avoiding in their circles. This information can protect you from potential harm and heartbreak.
Side note: Please donât go around asking these women to set you up with the men in their circles, itâs weird. Itâll happen organically if theyâd genuinely like to connect you with a potential match. Donât build relationships either with these women solely based on the hopes that theyâll connect you with a potential match.
Where can you build a social network of mature women:
Outside of the known locations for building a social network, many of these women are involved in philanthropic causes, these causes range from:
Animal Protection & Welfare
Womenâs Rights & Empowerment
Environmental Preservation
Find a cause that youâre passionate about and get involved with the organisations that are either ran by the women in society or that their apart of. Becoming apart of these organisations is an amazing way to build your social network.
You can get involved either through volunteering or by making a sizeable donation thatâll grant you a membership and a spot on one of the committees (That is if the organisation has this option available).
If the second option isnât available, utilise the skills and qualities you have, thatâll make you an indispensable asset to the organisation.
