When you were in high school, money never crossed your mind to get chicks. It is only in the adult world that the dating game seem to change. But this is only true for certain demographics.
The key is demographics. If you are in the demographic where women judge you on money and status, it is because you are a grown adult and women want to see you being independent and self-reliant. It is a sign you love yourself. It is a sign of strength.
This is what most guys don't get. Women just don't look at the value. They look at what that value represents. A guy can have money and status and be self loathing and repel all the women. Maybe he inherited his money. Maybe he's a spoiled manchild. At the same time, a guy who has a high degree of self love might not be the richest or popular in society but he still still be able to pull a good amount of women.
Guys who feel the need to generalize attraction and come up with universal catch phrases like LMS are lacking strength themselves. They are unsure so they need confirmation from other men. A strong man knows he only needs himself.
When you interact with women, that lack of inner strength WILL come out. Women have a radar for it. Even if it is something stupid like not being proud of your birth name and giving women your initials, they will ask you what your real name is and then watch your emotional reaction. If they sense any incongruency, their bodies will be on high alert. You would have tripped up their radar for incongruency.
Any type of incongruency like guilt, shame, neediness, low self esteem, insecurity, overcompensating behavior, inferiority complex, etc, will be broadcasted for all the women to see. There is nothing you can do to hide it.
No amount of outer game can mask your lack of inner game.
Looks, money, and status gets you into the door. But once you're in, the examination never ends. You are required to be strong always. Until you die.
Every guy is required to be 100% congruent before he should even think about women.
You can have high LMS and still get rejected for incongurency and at the same time you could be on your way to achieving high LMS and still pull a good amount of women because you are 100% congruent.
What is congruency anyway? It is your level of belief in yourself.
What does this all mean? It means you can print your own value according to your level of belief. You can set the frame and have women believe in it. But if you don’t believe in yourself, no woman will either, no matter how high your perceived value is.
