Value (pickup)

Value
Field	Pickup
Also known as	high value, low value, SMV (loosely)
Origin	Mystery Method / PUA Lingo
Related	Demonstration of higher value; Attractiveness fundamentals; Sexual Market Value

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]

This wiki's house 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.
