Lets start by addressing the part that trips up most people, the “market” issue

Markets are where value is exchanged, here we use it as a technical term to model and understand complex human behaviours

No, its not romantic, it is however rational and real

What is Marriage Market Value?

It is a measurement of how desirable you are as a marriage partner to a specific market segment

Your value is NOT determined by you, but by whoever might marry you (men)

Your value (desirability) is not subjective, it can be measured objectively

Some aspects add to your MMV, others detract

For women:

+Attractiveness +Youth +Low/no partner count +Good family +Good reputation +High conscientiousness/moderate neuroticism +Cooperativeness +Domestic skills

-Obesity -High partner count -Children -Debt -Bad attitude/feminist

In the Marriage Market women compete against other women for commitment from eligible men

There is a limited pool of women to compete against in your age/demographic/geographic area

This gives women a known playing field, they can be a bit better than the competition & win

The Marriage Market is about establishing long term relationships under the protection of the marriage arrangement

It creates win-win situations and therefore functions best when all manipulation and lies are left out

Everyone is incentivised to seek mutual gain

The Sexual Market however is different

SMV is a measure of how desirable you are as a sexual partner to a specific market segment

The competition is fierce, men have a ton of “options” not just other women. They have masturbation, porn, toys, prostitutes, other men & far worse

The Sexual Market is all about short term sexual access, relationships not required or in many cases desired

Physical attractiveness Promiscuousness Willingness to do diverse sex acts Compatible dysfunctions Novelty

All these things generally raise a woman’s SMV

The Sexual Market is about selfish, short term, transactional interactions where manipulation, lies and win-lose negotiations are the norm

Everybody is just trying to “get some”, no matter the long term cost to themselves, others or society

Both sexes are “gaming” each other

The problem for women is that many, especially younger women, think that they are in the marriage market when they are actually operating in the sexual market

They think “if I sleep with him he might marry me”

Sorry honey, he wont if he is not in the marriage market

Sometimes low MMV women attract Chads and Alphas, high value men, for sex

It sets their standards ridiculously high

Some men who are 10/10 will sleep with a 6/10 woman, but they wont marry them

The women dont see it that way, they think their SMV translates to MMV, it doesn’t

Society encourages women to increase their SMV at the expense of their MMV

More sexual experience & lower disgust sensitivity may increase your SMV, but it will lower your MMV

Most women want marriage, but they will not get it because they have been cultivating the wrong value

For both SMV and MMV it is specific to a “market segment”

Not all men are attracted to all women

Your religion, politics, race, age, physical appearance, nationality, location, etc. will limit the men who might be interested in you

Example: Christians who only date christians

Women, look back on the earlier slide where I discussed MMV value added points, work on THOSE areas to increase your attractiveness as a potentional marriage partner

Avoid competing in the sexual market, its a net loss for you, focus on the marriage market
