Absolutely.
For example - a recent convo I had with a semi-interested girl in class went something like this:
Her: So what did you do this weekend?
Me: Well, I went to the movies on Friday, and then went to xxxxx's party Saturday.
Her: Really? Who did you go to the movies with?
Me: I went with a girl I met from xxxxx school, but it didn't turn out too well.
Her: Really? Why not?
(at this point she is interested in WHY the date went poorly)
Me: Well - she was hot - but not attractive. I really value a woman more for what is behind her pretty face. What happened on Friday was that she just wasn't what I was looking for in a woman.
Her: I understand...so what DO you look for in a woman?
Me: I really can relate with someone who is honest, open, and truthful. I think any sort of connection has to be based on honesty.
(that was me putting my VALUES out on the table after SHE asked for them - presumably she will MATCH these values if she is interested)
Her: Same here, I always thought that it was important for two people to be able to be really truthful and open with each other.
Me: Hey, I like the way you think. Let's do something next Friday.
I got the # - but sadly the date with her didn't work out well. She was very nervous.
But let's get back to the point. What I did in that conversation was show her that I am unlike most guys (in that I like a woman more for her mind than her looks) and have high standards in women. What SHE did was MATCH my values (example: honesty) and showed ME exactly WHY I should consider her as a potential date.
It became a situation where SHE was proving her worth to ME, rather than the typical situation in society where the male must prove himself to the female.
Hope this clarified things. PM me if you've got any questions.
