Just curious. Sadly I think a lot of men have the idea that the way to get a woman is to drown her in flattery, but all that does is give her a swelled head. Plus a man with options doesn't need to drown a woman who is a 5 with compliments and on some level women know this. The tactics men are taught to meet women do nothing but overvalue women and undervalue men (not surprisingly).

I know the real tactic is show up and demonstrate high SMV (be rich/powerful/respected/handsome/built) and then after the woman shows interest then approach. What about men with lower or more average smv where this is not an option?

Can a man with mediocre smv still pull women realistically?
