I often hear both genders smearing men as "entitled" (romantically/sexually)

Are there some men who only want to be with 9s and 10s, despite the fact he himself is mid-tier? Absolutely. It would be accurate to call those men entitled.

The far more common scenario, however, is for a man to want a woman in a similar spot as him on the looks scale. Yet even then, the man gets called entitled. Unreal.

As for why so many men struggle to get a woman in a similar spot as him on the looks scale? Because even a mid-tier woman wants a man who's a 9-10.

In other words, female entitlement is what's causing mid-tier men to struggle, yet then society has the audacity to call these mid-tier men entitled.

Your thoughts?

SMV(Sexual Market Value) isn't just about looks. Many factors determine male and female SMV. Most people end up with a partner with equivalent SMV.

Mid-tier SMV men struggle because they don't have much to offer:

-they aren't in good physical shape.
-they don't understand women.
-they aren't leaders.
-they don't dress well.
-they have average jobs.
-they make average wages.
-they don't create tingles.
-they aren't a threat.
-they lack social skills.
-there are more mid-tier men than any other group so lots more competition.

I don't know any men that are a 9-10 that settle down with mid-tier women. Some will fuhk them but thats it.

If you aren't getting what you think you deserve, chances are you aren't as good as you think you are.

Autistic men face a double whammy: We are perceived as threatening...but not in a way that gives her tingles.

You're right, a 9-10 man will have casual sex with a mid-tier woman, yet won't settle down with one. On that note, many a mid-tier woman has an exaggerated sense of her own standing on the 1-10 scale. I recall a thread on this forum with a YouTube video of a 6/10 who thinks she's a 9/10 (and is flabbergasted by the fact the 9s she's having casual sex with won't commit to her)

All in all, you're right when you say SMV is determined by more than just looks...for men at least. For a woman, looks are about all that goes into her SMV score.

What I mean by that is: I'm a 6-7/10 on looks alone, yet my overall SMV score is probably a 3 (because of my various baggage). Yet a woman who's a 6-7/10 on looks alone would never get knocked down to a 3 for her overall SMV rating, no matter how severe her baggage is.
 

Tell her a little about yourself, but not too much. Maintain some mystery. Give her something to think about and wonder about when she's at home.

You are not a 6-7, I have seen your pics.

Stop making cope posts for validation and go to the damn gym.

EDIT: Or at the very least, keep all the garbage in one place.
You saw some body shots of me I posted on a thread. You don't know what I look like facially. I've never DMed with you.

Unless this is your face, stop making cope threads about how you're a 6-7 and just have "some issues".

With all the time you spend making pointless, multi-page threads on here you could've been getting workouts done and getting closer to that 6-7 that you THINK you are.

I challenge you to log off for 1 month, work out 3 times per week. Here, I'll even give you a super simple routine to follow, you don't even have to worry about diet yet: https://startingstrength.com/get-started/programs

Stop trying to convince this forum that you're a misunderstood 6-7, and that you're going after 45+ year old women out of preference rather than necessity. You're not fooling anyone.

The guy you posted is a 9. No, I don't look like him, but I'm still above-average.

I'm on break at work right now. For that matter, a lot of my posting takes place on break or on my commute. So no, I couldn't be working out in the time I spend posting. It's not like I can work out on a bus or on a break at work.

Furthermore, my body type is only one of many factors driving my overall SMV down to a 3. Even if I were to become muscular, that would only make my overall SMV get bumped up to maybe 3 and a half (as I'd still be a mentally ill autist with a low income and no car who apparently dresses like a grandpa)

I know a majority of the forum generally agrees with you more than me on most topics. Your claim that I prefer the 45+ demographic because that's all I can get, however, is one area where most posters would disagree with you. Many posters on here (including a 45+ year old woman by the name of @BeExcellent) have said I'd have an easier time getting a woman my own age, as the typical 45+ year old woman would automatically write me off solely based on age.

So I take that massive wall of text as a no.

As in, "No BPH, I cannot find 3 hours per week to dramatically improve my dating life, even though most of this forum agrees this would serve me well, including @BeExcellent who is among my target audience."

Imagine if I went back in time to September 2010 and handed you $1,000 and told you to invest it all in Bitcoin, and you'll be rich...and you didn't do it because you were too lazy to figure out how to buy it.

That's essentially what you're doing here, with your health, fitness, and love life, rather than money.

EDIT: Matter of fact, since you'd rather be right than happy, why don't you prove me wrong?

Work out regularly for 1 month, even if only to come back here and tell me it didn't work for you.

The typical 45-55 year old woman will write off any younger man due to age.

There are some younger men who are neurotypicals who have sex with older women for short periods of time. It's often a friend or co-worker of his mom. They are usually better looking than you are and it's often something casual. I don't think that's the best use of time for an 18-25 year old male, but it happens. I usually won't criticize a younger male too much for doing that if he realizes that it's not sustainable and it is short term sex only.

Most neurotypical men grow out of the older woman phase by their mid-20s. When a man reaches 25-27, he's older than enough women to make it worthwhile to go after women that are younger than he is.

Your older woman fetish and pregnancy phobia is outlier level abnormal.

The far more common scenario, however, is for a man to want a woman in a similar spot as him on the looks scale. Yet even then, the man gets called entitled. Unreal.
That subset exists. Women with that ideology likely lean more feminist than even the average woman.

The average woman in the USA leans more feminist now than the average woman in the USA did in 1970.

As for why so many men struggle to get a woman in a similar spot as him on the looks scale? Because even a mid-tier woman wants a man who's a 9-10.

This woman is a well known example of a mid tier woman who believes that she should have an elite tier man committing to her. I have posted this example multiple times because it is so on point. She's not the only mid-tier woman who feels this way.

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.

Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.

This will quickly drive all women away from you.

And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

-there are more mid-tier men than any other group so lots more competition.
When the Boomers and Generation X'ers were younger, a mid-tier man had much more leeway. He could be average in physique and get better results than Millennials and Generation Z have seen.

The bigger deal breakers from this list in the past would have been...

-they don't understand women.
-they don't dress well.

The social skills issue might have been an issue 25-30+ years ago, but women had fewer "icks" back then regarding social skills.

A man has to do all this to get a date with a non virgin woman in her mid 30s? That’s asking a lot,

I don't know any men that are a 9-10 that settle down with mid-tier women. Some will fuhk them but thats it.

If you aren't getting what you think you deserve, chances are you aren't as good as you think you are.
I don't think a lot of men want to be with supermodels or 9/10s. Yes, it would be aweosme to have sex with them once or twice, but for. a relationship? I don’t think so. It’s brainwashing by society to assume all men want models.

A “mid tier” women has to be defined first. What is it? Is it a 35 year old average looking PhD? Is it a hot 22 year old slut? Is it an average looking 27 year old single mom? Is it a 6/10 18 year virgin? What is it?

I think as long as a woman is of the age of easily getting pregnant, has long hair, is not fat, has some sort of education or work ethic, and hasn’t slept with a lot of men, a mid tier man will easily take her. Is that too much to ask?

You're damn right, the list you quoted is asking an awful lot to get a date (which will probably be sexless anyway) with a woman who's really nothing special.

I certainly don't want a relationship with a 9 or 10. I prefer 5-8. My biggest reason for not wanting a 9 or 10? Because of how stressful it would be to know your girlfriend could get any man at any second. Unless you're a 9 or 10 (on the looks scale) billionaire, there's no incentive for a 9 or 10 woman to stay with you (or even if she'll stay with you, no incentive for her to be faithful)

Interesting wording when you say being at the age of easily getting pregnant is one of your criteria for what makes a woman a catch. While I totally am aware most men on here don't have my crippling pregnancy phobia (so they actively enjoy getting with a young woman), I get the impression most men on here don't want to get anyone pregnant (your wording, on the other hand, makes it sound like you want to impregnate a woman)

To answer your question of how I'd define mid-tier woman, my idea of mid-tier is 4-7. A 4 woman is lower mid-tier. A 5 is plain old mid-tier. A 6 or 7 is upper mid-tier.

Everyone's definition of what constitutes a 4/5/6/7 will vary. I tend to be a generous grader. For example, I'd rate my obese counselor a 6. Many men, on the other hand, would likely insist there's no way an obese woman is a 6.

The typical 45-55 year old woman will write off any younger man due to age.

There are some younger men who are neurotypicals who have sex with older women for short periods of time. It's often a friend or co-worker of his mom. They are usually better looking than you are and it's often something casual. I don't think that's the best use of time for an 18-25 year old male, but it happens.

This woman is a well known example of a mid tier woman who believes that she should have an elite tier man committing to her. I have posted this example multiple times because it is so on point. She's not the only mid-tier woman who feels this way.

Just like a woman who's a 6 is in no position to act surprised when a 9 or 10 refuses to commit to her, a 3 or 4 is in no position to act surprised when I don't want to commit to her.

Even if my overall SMV (when the whole picture is taken into account) is only a 3, the fact I'm a 6 or 7 on looks alone makes it unrealistic for a 3 or 4 to expect commitment from me.

When I was 21, a woman who was a 4 (at best) had sex with me after a 1st date, yet then acted surprised when I did a hump-and-dump. She's no different than a 6 woman acting surprised when a 9 man does a hump and dump.

When I was 23, that was when a woman who was a 3 followed me home on public transportation and had sex with me. Despite her ugliness, I was a horny 23 year old male (my mentality was "cooch is cooch"). Once again, hump and dump. I was way too good for her looks-wise.

Hell, even my overall SMV (when taking the full package into account) was higher at 21-23 than it is now. At 21-23, I was in my prime, I didn't dress like a grandpa yet, and my lack of a high income was more likely to be given leeway by the opposite sex when I was that age.

You are a 4 looks wise. There’s a reason Wheat Waffles, who has judged the looks of thousands of men, gave you a 4. Wheat uses the same strict standards that women apply when swiping on dating apps or choosing men at bars.

Umm, when I was 30 (only a few years ago), a 23 year old hottie I met at a bar invited me somewhere afterwards. I didn't go (I had my reasons). There's no way she would have invited me if I was a 4.

Additionally, I've mentioned on a post before that the female population (and the gay male population) tends to rate me as being better-looking than straight men rate me as.

In other words, the demographics that actually want to fvck men think I look better than the demographic that would never fvck me even if I looked like a Hollister model does.

Swipe apps? It's been said many times on this forum that swipe apps are pointless for a man if we aren't top tier. A 6-7 isn't top tier. The fact I haven't had any luck on swipe apps (unless we count desktop sites 10+ years ago) doesn't prove I'm a 4. According to what's been said on the forum, anyone below 8 and a half would struggle on swipe apps.

Men get leeway on income from 18-25. As age advances, leeway diminishes. Around age 35, men get judged more strictly on money by both women near their own age and by substantially younger women. A 37 year old money is going to need money to seduce a 22 year old woman in the conventional mating market, even if he is good looking. A 22 year old woman can get a good looking man near her own age, so the 37 year old man can't rely on looks alone. He would need looks + money in that scenario.

There’s so much wrong with everything you’ve posted in this thread, but I’ll only just focus on this to keep it stupid simple.

First, a man’s “peak” is never at 21-23. If it is, it just means he’s wasted his best years, which clearly is what you’re doing with your nonstop parade of excuses in thread after thread. You can absolutely slay women from 30-50 if you stay in good shape and have built your empire (social proof, $$, connections, etc.). You never have that at 21-23 unless you’re some trust fund baby. Which you aren’t.

Second, and probably most important for you to understand, is you don’t do these things to get women. You do them to give yourself a rich life and make yourself the best version you can be. The women come with the territory when you get there. Stop thinking that a list is “too much to do to get a date with no sex.” You do it for yourself. Something easy every man can do is get in good shape and dress well. Again, you almost take pride that you dress like a complete putz. Why are doing this yourself?

Wake up dude.

If a woman's BMI is in the normal range (but she's not overly fit) and her facial aesthetics are good enough, that's probably mid-tier. These are average to somewhat cute women.

Age is always a factor when rating women.

I've seen some very attractive women in their 30s and 40s. Even a very attractive early 40s woman doesn't compare well to the most attractive women 18-24. After 50, women generally aren't attractive even if they stay in shape. A good example of this is Denise Austin. She is 68 now. She's attractive for her age but not even close to what she looked like even in her 40s. Below are videos of her at 67 and 63.



Here's Denise Austin at age 30 in 1987 before having kids. Keep in mind that 30 is post peak but still really good. The hairstyle and attire is outdated but she looked better at 30.

Wake up dude.
When I said 21-23 is a dude's prime, I was talking solely based on looks. I'm aware there are other factors that play into a man's overall SMV (which some men are able to capitalize on at 30+ years old)...but there's no denying a 30+ year old man is past his physical peak. Hell, on his last post, @SW15 gave the example where he said a 37 year old man, even with good looks, needs money to attract a 22 year old, as the 22 year old could easily get an attractive guy her own age (so a significantly older man needs something more than looks to bring to the table)

The list that was given might sound like a rich life to many. Not to me. In fact, some of it sounds miserable.

I get your general point about how we should do stuff that gives us a rich life. I just disagree on what constitutes a rich life. For example, while I have no desire to work out, I travel a lot. Travel is something I find enriching. I also like to go to museums. I find museums enriching.

As for the wardrobe thing, I suppose it's somewhat of an exaggeration for me to say I dress like a grandpa. The outfit picture I shared on a thread once totally (in retrospect) looked like a 70 year old grandpa outfit, I admit. Some of my outfits, on the other hand, could easily pass for an outfit a 30-something or 40-something suburban dad in a southern state would wear.
