My current SMV:
I am 28. Physically, I'm in pretty good shape. Sitting at a lean 183lbs, height just a hair under 5'10. I shave my head (fortunately, head shape suits it). Financial situation currently sucks (no assets, no savings, 60k student loan debt), first year out of university, I'll probably make a little over 60k this year from all my incomes combined. I do have what you could call localized "status" within my social circle as a fitness & yoga instructor, which has helped with social proof...
All things considered, at my age, I do quite alright with meeting and attracting women. Most of my prospects come from my social circle; I don't use OLD or social media (which maybe limits my opportunities?).
My confidence grows more and more each year, and I believe my confidence has been a force multiplier when it comes to attracting women. I interact with a lot good looking girls regularly as a group fitness and yoga instructor, which undoubtedly has improved my social skills as well as comfort & confidence around hot women. My game is pretty tight in the initial seduction phases, but I struggle to maintain frame in LTRs once I get emotionally invested after a few months.
My last GF, who I recently broke up with, was 22 y/o and at least a 9 (and not an exaggerated 9). My confidence, social skills, and localized social proof played a large role in attracting her (and of course a bit of timing/luck, like anything). That being said, when I pull, I usually pull 6's and 7's, with my previous girlfriends being in that range as well. I ain't pulling 8's and above often.
With my financial situation, I have never been perceived as a provider. As a result, I have never ran into the problem of dealing with gold diggers or women who are using me just for a free meal. I can see how my financial position at my age could eventually cause concerns in the minds of some girls who are looking for a long-term partner. I often think about that myself. Being that I want to be a father someday, I sometimes feel so behind when it comes to my finances, because I want to be able to provide a good life for my future family...
I am about 8 years away from age 36, the apparent peak SMV for a man. I believe I can accomplish a lot in those 8 years, specifically when it comes to improving my finances. Once I get my money right, I can only imagine what that would do for my SMV and my life as I experience the freedom of more choice that money can bring.

Rollo states that men generally reach their peak SMV around age 36.
1) Do you agree or disagree that men reach their peak SMV around age 36?
2) What has your personal experience and observations been with SMV as you aged?
