The best analogy to the sexual market is a stock market. A company that is publicly traded will have multiple valuations at the same time based on the perception of traders, there are those who think the company is over-valued, those that find it under-valued and those who find it valued correctly. The valuations that these three groups have made, are all based, to some extent on the expectations they have about the future of the company, based on the information they have available to them, their time horizon, and various other factors. The Efficient Market Hypothesis in the hard formulation states that the present share value reflects all information both public and insider, whereas the softer formulation states that it reflects public information.

This is why information is so powerful in the markets, because if you have better information than anyone else, you can make a more accurate valuation than your competition. The Hot-Crazy scale, the relationship between how attractive a woman must be in order to make up for a certain level of crazy, is a great example of such information, because one's valuation of a woman's SMV will always be influenced by a man's awareness of her level of crazy. The intangible assets referred to in an earlier part, affect the valuation of her tangible assets and vice versa.

Within every market companies fall into varying categories, "Blue chips" are large companies that often have a long history of stability, operate in sectors that are experiencing little growth, and that are perceived as having less risk than "Growth companies" that often have a shorter history, operates in sectors with high growth and that are perceived as having higher levels of risk. Over time shares of the Blue chip variety will experience less volatility (less fluctuations of share value) than "Growth Companies", however they may experience less peaks in popularity.

As shown in Dataclysm [1] there is more variety to men's sexual market valuations, as the range of partner preferences among men are more diverse than those of women. Thus, it is natural that valuations made by women of men are less varied, and thus that men should expect less volatility in the market valuations of their SMV. On the same note, as male valuations are more diverse, it means that your average woman will experience higher volatility, but less variability in men's valuations of her.

If one draws on company valuation, multiple valuations exist at the same time:

The market value of the company's equity as listed on a stock exchange The value of the company's assets less its debt as shown by the company's accounting. The market value of the company's assets less its debt as actually achieved as a sale of all its assets as part of an arms length deal

There are also 2 additional modifiers, there are those that think the results of the valuation methods above are too optimistic and those who regard them as overly pessimistic.

Which one of these is the correct valuation method to utilize and what modifier is the correct one to apply?
