How do you gauge your smv? Based on the iois you get from girls? Lets say 6's give you the most iois are you then considered a 7 (because girls mostly date up?)? 7's give you iois youre an 8?

Altough I think a 7 can get a 7 with good game, even get an 8 with very solid game, or if hes high status or has money. Or im wrong?

I always guess my smv based on the girls below my smv. So if 6's give me MOST iois I then think am a 7. Altough I believe a 7 can even get iois from another 8 but the ioi will be not as agressive or you have to have strong game.
