I like the general idea of
@cola ’s
thread. However, I believe it can be simplified further.
A mans SMV (assuming fitness and style are maximized) outside of school environment is based on resources, location, and height.
Income is the easiest metric, as it correlates with social status.
To find yours, start with annual income in dollars:
10: $1,000,000+
9: $250,000+
8: $100,000+
7: $80,000+
6: $60,000+
5: $50,000+
Then,
adjust for height.
If 6’ to 6’5, +1
If 5’6 or shorter -1
Finally,
adjust for location:
If you do NOT live in a “power city,” +1. Power cities include NYC, LA, SF Bay Area, London, Toronto, and their equivalents.
Examples:
Joe, 6’1, is a laborer in Cleveland, Ohio with an annual income of $85,000. Joe’s SMV would be 9.
Chauncey, 5’6, is an electrical engineer in San Francisco, CA with an annual income of $160,000. Chauncey’s SMV would be 7.
Why does this matter?
Due to female hypergamy, a man should expect to consistently date women a point or two lower than his SMV. Joe would have his pick of 7s and 8s. Chauncey will likely be with the 5s and 6s.
Thoughts? Where do you rank?
