Women when they're hanging out at the bar, or some party/public location take pictures of each other and show off their best angles, and take 100s a night, and pick the best ones for their dating profiles. Groups of girls are encouraging their friends always to go on Tinder, and find a hot guy to fuck, and consider it sexual freedom.

Men on the other hand will tell other men that Tinder sucks, and the only way to meet women is in person. Men won't take pictures for each other, and if they do they'll take 2 bad pictures. Guys who have a good social media and dating app presence have so many more chances to be seen by women, and if you have a good profile, you'll be in the top 90% of dating profiles, given you're at least a 6/7 in face and body, and perceived coolness/interestingness. Especially in the times of Covid, where so many people aren't wanting a stranger to enter their personal space and talk to them for prolonged periods of time, having good dating profile pictures will get you SOOO much more attention, yet so many guys try to keep other guys from getting laid, because of crab bucket mentality, yet this doesn't apply to women, who even the ugliest and uninteresting can find a man willing to dick her down. Some beta males will hampster away, thinking that they need to have a good life and a house first, when they don't realize that that's the beta male genetic destiny, to get a house to provide for a woman in order to have access to sex. Game means you're always striving for seduction, no matter where you are in life. Some guys have created the minimum that they need to get attention and fuck women while they still live at their parents, while these same women try to tell men they need to "man up" before they'll have a chance with them, and get their finances together and have a nice car.

To summarize, as a man, you are on your own to increase your SMV. Other men will always want you to fail, unless they have a financial incentive for you to succeed. Don't rely on finances to attract women. You can attract a lot of women as a starving artist if you're somewhat attractive and have a social media presence and/or a good dating profile. You effectively have a higher SMV and more preselection than someone who lives off the grid and relies on "shitting where they eat" to get women. Having a good dating profile and social media equals automatic preselection.
