"This gives us two robust and hard to fake signals of status and mate value:
Having a committed romantic partner at all.
Having a committed romantic partner who is desirable, attractive, or otherwise high in mate value themselves.
In fact, the mate value of a female partner is a very good predictor of a man’s own mate value (and vice versa), correlating at .5 (Salkicevic, 2014). Male promiscuity, on the other hand, is a poor predictor of male mate value, given that more promiscuous men make downward selections in mate choices, and male promiscuity is associated with all of the same markers of low mate value that female promiscuity is associated with."
"Why do lower class men brag loudly about having casual sex with hoes while upper class men quietly marry beautiful women? Both signal status within their respective hierarchies (although status is not the only reason men select such mates). However, men of low status have fewer status signals to display. To tell someone how many hoes you get is an easy to fake signal. You can just make it up. You can pay some women to appear in your rap video (similar to red pill podcasters asking OnlyFans creators onto their shows)."
"The Dark Triad is also associated with higher mating effort (Westhead & Egan, 2015) and more attempts at self-enhancement (Schröder–Abé et al., 2016). In other words, high Dark Triad individuals have more sexual partners because they try to have more sexual partners. Using 130 items from the Mate Attraction Scale (Buss, 1988), Monteiro et al. (2017) found that participants high in the Dark Triad were more likely to score high on items indicating mating effort, including being more likely to approach women. Rather than desirable men hanging back and being approached, men high in the Dark Triad spend extra effort enhancing their physical appearance, social image, and going out to talk with women. Men high in the Dark Triad even express a higher preference for living in cities over rural areas (where they have more potential victims, mates, and anonymity) (Jonason, 2018)."
"They are also more likely to form friendships with others high in the Dark Triad, in order to help facilitate exploitative social strategies (Jonason & Schmitt, 2012)."
"Reviewing the research on the Dark Triad we can paint a general picture: the high Dark Triad individual desires long-term relationships less, desires casual sex more, and spends more effort in attempts to acquire casual sex. They have a higher drive for sexual novelty and a higher willingness to use deception (and even force) to meet their sexual goals. When they do form long-term relationships they are less likely to be able to maintain them; their relationships are full of conflict and their relationships are more likely to end with the high Dark Triad individual cheating or being cheated on."
"However, the Dark Triad is more closely associated with emotional instability and neuroticism (Lyons, 2019). Rather than being cool and collected, the Dark Triad individual is more likely to have an anxiety or depressive disorder (Birkás et al., 2016; Gómez-Leal et al., 2019). They have a higher fear of uncertainty, more anxious disturbances, and don’t even sleep as well at night because of it (Sabouri et al., 2016). Much of the “acting out” behavior of Dark Triad individuals reflects insecurity, defensiveness, and psychological immaturity (Richardson & Boag, 2016). It is more often the case that they present themselves as “virtuous victims” than men on top of the world (Ok et al., 2021). They are more likely to bully, but also more likely to be bullied themselves (Fatima, 2016; Pineda et al, 2022). Psychopathy, in particular, is associated with low status across measures (Spurk et al., 2016; Aluja et al., 2022). Youth high in the Dark Triad are more likely to become delinquent (Alsheikh Ali, 2020)."
So emulating that and doing casual sex in order to think you are high SMV is just a cope. Real high SMV man partners or marries a high SMV high quality woman.
