30 yr old guy here. Much of the seduction advice I've read has emphasized utilizing women's desire to date up by demonstrating your higher value as a man. This advice has aligned with my own experiences. I've had a few girlfriends whom I saw as having a lower SMV than me, and they adored me. But if I pursue a woman whom I adore, it doesn't work out. The guys who have the most success with 9's and 10's seem to treat even these models as below them. While there are certain concrete markers of high value (money, fitness, friends, etc) it seems like the most important factor in establishing this frame is the psychological one. Actually believing that the girl would be lucky to chase you makes it far more likely she will. My question is pretty straightforward, and it's probably been asked before.

How does a man begin to authentically see his value as higher than even the most beautiful women?

Does it require you to have the external markers of wealth and power?

Does it require you to have a group of people who praise you and inflate your ego?

Is it something that you can train by progressively dating women of slightly higher value until you reach the top?

Is there a way to hack your psychology through inner game to hold this frame regardless of your external conditions?

Is it a matter of faking it until you make it?

Is it a combination of these things?

Please share your thoughts. Any feedback is appreciated.
