Value in pickup jargon is perceived sexual and social worth — what DHV tries to raise and what DLV accidentally drops. It overlaps preselection, status, competence, and, later, sexual market value talk.[1][2]
A later split is cleaner: Attractiveness fundamentals (body, voice, social, fashion) are passive value; game is active. "Value" as a cosmic Elo score is manosphere metaphysics. It does not set the lead.
