This post is a short update of a longer article on sexual market value (SMV) I wrote a couple years ago. My thoughts have evolved significantly and I've converged more or less on seeing that male SMV is mostly determined by confidence level. Not looks. Not fame. Not wealth. Guys will have their criticisms. Guys will disagree. Guys will view this conceptualization of mine as a mere well-rationalized defense mechanism of sorts. But the male SMV is mostly determined by his confidence level. When guys are asked to envision a hypothetical high-status/-SMV male, the first image that often comes to mind is of a super-attractive rockstar who's rich and has women rushing to his side. Guys tend to think of male SMV as essentially the degree to which women are flocking to the male, or the degree to which women “want” the male. The more women in society as a whole “want” the male, the higher his supposed SMV. However it is my contention that male SMV is not mostly determined by how eager and willing women are to flock to him, but rather mostly by whether the male is actually able to convert women over sexually when they are in his presence. And the latter is dependent on whether the male is confident and forward enough to capitalize on his opportunities. People's opinions aren't what matter. It's what the male is able to achieve in terms of objective sexual efficacy that does. A male might have copious sexual opportunities. But can he actually convert those opportunities over. Once again, it's not our opinions that matter. It's what the male actually achieves in terms of sexual efficacy that does. This is what determines his SMV. What looks, wealth, and fame function to do is better position the male to have sexual opportunities, but these aspects of attraction in and of themselves do not induce the objective sexual outcomes; the male's forwardness and confidence primarily do. Male SMV is determined mostly by confidence level. This is an important point to make: Looks, wealth, and fame don't directly produce sexual outcomes. They yield mere potential for opportunity for sexual outcomes. Well you know what else equals potential for opportunity for sexual outcomes? Consistent approach. And the benefit of consistent approach is that it increases the male's confidence level because he exposes himself to incessant rejection. And as I've talked about, incurring repeated rejection + overcoming it is the source of male confidence. The male need not be physically attractive, rich, or famous in order to generate opportunities for sexual outcomes insofar as he approaches high-volume and consistently. If I'm famous and girls want to go on dates with me because I'm so amazing, if we distill this down, this really is no different from an unknown male who approaches a lot who earns himself lots of dates...
