In my personal experience the relationship between my SMV and the SMV of the girls is the following:

  • SMV+1/+2: It's a big struggle, I think I only had 3/4 girls SMV+ in my entire life. They are more worth for the ego boost than for the actual sex usually, being gold diggers, wannabe actors/celebrities, and similar.
  • SMV+0: These are the girls I chase when I'm willing to spend the required effort. It's a significant effort/significant reward type of deal, and they are the most fulfilling in terms of sex.
  • SMV-1: The sweet spot. Moderate effort/still pretty good reward. They are also the most manageable if you want to try a LTR.

Is it worth going as low as SMV-2? The point I want to make is: yes, sometimes. And NOT for the low effort required.

It is worth for the experience of being adored and worshipped. It's the ultimate ego boost. They know they got lucky to catch you, so they are going to treat you like a fucking KING, sexually and in general. And bonus: no shit tests, no bad attitude, no need for you to always overthink any interaction in order to appear as an alpha. You can just RELAX, do and say what you want, and their big eyes will be always looking at you in awe.

So I humbly suggest to swallow your pride and give it a try, not for a LTR of course. Unless your SMV is <=6: in this case I DON'T suggest to hit a 4 at all.
