TL;DR: I declined sex from a woman I thought to be higher SMV than me. I'm trying to figure out what this does to my perceived SMV in the eyes of the other women in the room.

Long version: I went out to a brewery party with some coworkers and friends. I spent most of the night flirting and having fun with the women that were there, nothing special or out of the ordinary.

One of the women I work with is easily and 8 or 9, but she's married so I basically ignored her the whole night. Her husband came too and I shot the shit with him a bit more so than I did her. Even if she wasn't married though, this girl is higher SMV than a lot of the girls I plate so I really had no interest in her.

Fast forward a couple hours. The married woman, her husband, two girls, and I all shared an uber back to the married couple's house. The husband was tired so he went to sleep and it ended up being just me, one girl I had been hitting on most of the night, the married girl, and another girl drinking in the living room.

It was pretty obvious I was gaming this other girl, but as the night went on the married woman kept coming on to me. I played it off because she was drunk, but eventually she pulled me into the kitchen to "get me a drink" and ended up grabbing my junk and trying to kiss me.

Now a lot of RP guys wouldn't have given a shit and went for it, but she's married, we work together, and honestly her husband is a cool guy and I felt bad so I stopped it from going anywhere. I didn't make a scene or anything just gently let her down. She seemed pretty bummed as I'm sure rejection is not something she's used to.

So here's the thesis of the post:

The other women saw this happen, especially the one that I was trying to game. Did my actions here come off as beta? Was not taking this beautiful woman to bed in her husbands house too soft? Or did the fact that I wasn't so desperate to fuck a girl hotter than the other two girls actually increase my value in their eyes? Most of my questions on here are in an attempt to understand the female mind even more so that's why I'm posting. If anyone has any interesting perspectives I'd love to hear.
