I'm red pilled, mature, styled and zfg and been through it all, but nothing changes - and here is my somewhat metaphoric example.

eg: 10 years ago i was one of 'those' young men (18-25)(read - low smv?) drinking in some rowdy bar along with many other faces, most of whom where slightly more socially attuned and 'calm/collected', all trying to be cool amongst other girls our own age (read - in their smv prime)

Last few weeks i have gone to said places as a 'rising' smv 31 year old male with 10 years exp, $ and worldly knowledge on my old self ... things are ..... the same!, with one huge caveat - the groups of guys younger than me, probably at least 5-7 years, still studying, young dumn still have the same 'aura' as before and a higher smv. Bar girls eiher ignore me, are cuntish or indifferent and that is it, walk in, buy drink, feel scalding eyes, walk out.
Party keeps on going.
Talk about a paradox.
