Over time i have determined this may just be the case with SMV Money, nice watch, clothes, good looks only get you in the door, and even then, it is for a short time. Especially the longer you know a woman. Soon these things only have power through dread. At a sexy body and good looks is most the superficial SMV that keeps any leverage.

Very fast what matters is GAME. Frame, high value behaviour, dominance, leading, spiking emotions and dread. This is your under the iceburg, making 90% of attraction from that moment onwards.

Slip up and communicate low value through behaviour and all the rolex watches, style and good looks wont save you. Do it consistently over time and you are beyond recovery.

I think LTRs are hardmode because simply most men cannot master this consistently. Even “alphas” who are blue pilled were likely situational alphas, and lack the tools or inate mindset to pull off long term attraction. Celebrities are good examples, mostly the blue pilled ones rely on the high levels of natural dread to cover all their low value behaviours.

If you can tap into that, everything else is pointless. Subtle indicators of SMV through behaviour are a thousand times more important to women than superficial ones. This applies even more so in long term relationships. You can be good looking charming and ambitious as you want, but too many supplicating or low value behaviour will dry her up fast. On the other hand, high SMV behaviour will always be arousing no matter what.

I think this is what fuels the “boomerang” phenomenon. You may be doing everything right, but eventually a situational alpha appears, or someone with all the shit that signals Alpha is on her radar. She swings, but only after some time does the low value behaviour come out and she boomerangs back after realising he was not the real deal.
