Ways to Increase Actual and Perceived Value

[Shahnameh]

We all know that in general a woman must perceive your value being higher than hers in order to be interested in you. A woman will almost never "downgrade" to a man who she sees as below her in value.

It's time for us to cull together our collective knowledge of how to convey value to ourselves, to women, and to the world-at-large.

I perceive that there are two kinds of value: Actual and Perceived. Each type is effective in attracting women, although of course only actual value will keep her unless a man can game her into addiction to himself.

So, please post here your thoughts on how a man can increase his actual and perceived value to:

Yourself

Women

The World (Business, social, family, etc.)

I think it's high time we seriously study the concept of "Value" and I'll probably sticky this thread if you guys provide some quality information (and I have no doubt that you will). I'm going to be pretty heavy-handed in keeping the thread pure and useful, so I'll be eliminating any clowning around that gets out of hand and any pissing matches. I want this thread to be genuinely useful to every man who wants to better himself and understand the concept of value.

Let's get this show on the road. Feel free to contribute your thoughts on the subject. Later on I'll chime in with my own thoughts. I don't want to influence the opening posters with my own thoughts yet.

This forum has found out, didn't know it would be you who told them lol

There's two ways to think about this
Either artificially increase your value
Or artificially decrease her value

It all comes down to perceived value more than actual value at the end of the day.
They need to be equivalent at the minimum for most women (you should ideally be higher in her eyes).
It's subjective from both ends fundamentally, which means the more access you have to ingluencing her opinion the better.

by improving your looks you have a higher actual and perceived value. Otherwise is cope as you cant make an ugly male beautiful just by trying to convice the woman that way.

I believe it’s a waste of time to try and focus on money or status as these things are, for 99% of us, predetermined by our connections which ultimately stem from our NTness which ultimately stems from our looks level.

Looks are actually the only thing that you can realistically change about your life path, but unfortunately by the time you CAN make that change you will already be at a terrible disadvantage due to the compounding effect.

This isn’t really answering the OP so I’ll make another post later.
But in general anything else you can do to increase your value apart from looksmaxing has a very poor return on investment in comparison.
