So after reading the material on here I fully understand that guys with high SMV are the only ones consistently getting laid.

I've come to accept that I probably am not the highest SMV guy but I've only seen bits and pieces of advice scattered throughout posts on how to actually increase your value.

The usual advice that I'm seeing is:

  • Lift

  • Be well groomed and dressed

  • Be in control of your emotions/be calm

  • Be unfazed by whatever she or life throws at you

  • Be fully self-reliant

  • Be an asshole/don't treat girls well (pretty general)

  • Set boundaries with people/say no (still kind of general)

  • Always lead your interactions (also general/hard to ALWAYS be leading your interactions)

  • Never show weakness

  • Be aloof/distant (only works if you have high SMV already)

  • Dark triad - be narcissistic (check!), Machiavellian (eh), and a psychopath (I consider myself a bit psychopathic :))

So this is the main advice that I've picked up after about a month or two of lurking as well as reading all the top posts from the past.

I think it would definitely be beneficial if there was a quick reference guide that had bullet points like the ones above on actual steps/things to keep in mind in order to improve oneself.

Anyways, the primary point of this post was to gather more of these ideas to keep in mind so if there is anything that I'm missing then definitely post it in the comments.
