Hey guys,

I am 20, gf is 18. We have been together 6 months. I took her virginity. This is my second relationship, and having read and understood red pill concepts and The Rational Male a while ago, I started this relationship actually understanding relationship dynamics and using that information to make informed decisions on how to act, what to do in certain circumstances, etc. I have found that because of this, my relationship feels so much healthier, most likely because attraction is preserved.

I have fairly high SMV- fairly attractive, in shape, am great at socializing. I’m also going through military training during college. When I hang out with my GF when her friends are around, she frequently informs me that they really like me. I have a bit of a flirty personality - making fun (in a lighthearted way) of everyone and girls usually respond really well to that.

Just the other day I hung out with her and a friend (was my first time meeting her) and her friend was laughing at everything I was saying, and just generally enjoying being around me. Later my GF said her friend told her to let me know she thought I was “super funny, cool, and awesome” (or something extremely similar) and had fun hanging out with me. I actually kinda got a feeling her friend would totally be into me if I was single.

Her friend didn’t have to say anything, and even then went out of her way to get my GF to tell me she felt that way. Does this type of thing increase my gf’s perception that I’m high value? She obviously didn’t say she was into me (she couldn’t, because i’m her friends bf) but when a lot of her friends say they like me, how much of a difference does that really make to my SMV?

Also, what does the whole “you guys look sooo cute together!” thing really mean? Is it just more of the same? I know some people say it as just a filler compliment too though.

How different in terms of inducing competition anxiety is this stuff from girls outright saying I’m hot and my gf finding out they want to fuck me? Is that essentially what they’re saying, just to a lesser degree? Thanks for any input!
