I have acquired a gf using 2/3 of the current known metas and I'd say the strategies DO work, but my lack of dominance staying power means they don't work for as long as I hope for.
The only meta I have yet to try is fame, although I was pretty close to that using the second meta (being the best of every guy in a room at a game, skill, or field of knowledge that is observable and applicable in said room)
It's a high I wish I could recreate and I've been told the fame meta is the strongest since it's amplified outside of just the room.
The first male getting a female meta is being the only option, by the way, for those who are unaware of the metas that all heterosexual relationships necessarily spawn from. With the first being the weakest meta since it relies on there never being any competition. It's what religious societies force, and it works, but it's a tenuous balance. The second one fails if you're beaten at your game/skill/knowledge or you stop showing off your skills for a long enough period of time that she forgets why she competed with other women to have you. It's best to keep refining your skill if you wind up here.
The last is fame, an undeniable trace of superiority lingers around you and everyone is always compared with you. Everyone knowing you is supposedly the strongest meta since the competition for you is at its greatest, although it only works if you maintain fame. Being marketable is the key to maintaining this meta, so I've heard.
That being said, so long as you change your hobby to something that you can be good at above everyone else, and that there is a pool of men doing the same as you that you can best, yeah, changing your hobby can help, or hurt if you move away from the meta
