Is the concept of 'sexual (or dating) market value' really a valid way to assess other people (or yourself even)?

How many women sub-consciously rate men (and other women) that way almost without thinking? 8-)

I'm guilty of it.

Of course most people are guilty of that. I am too. But in the instances when I get assessed or rated based on my outward appearences, I rebel. I find it unfair and what not. And its exactly that. Its acting out whats has been done to each one of us.

Everyone does it, mostly subconsciously- I’m not saying it’s right or not but we all will rate people we meet based on their attractiveness, and treat them differently because of it.

Think we all do it, either consciously or subconsciously.

As a sex worker, it's pretty much in-built in me to see 'competition' or 'conquest'.

I'm not so perfect that I think I am qualified to "rate" anybody.

Meaning are they good in bed?

@MrBrownstone The SMV thing is more than that, but at raw brass/tin tacks level that's probably basically what it will always boil down to. Basically a man's dick size and height is taken as the equation for benchmarking everything else that many women I know use as a 'lens'.

@butterflybaby75 I think I understand. Sex is important in a relationship. Based solely on sex will not last. I think we all judge people based on a single factor which I think is wrong,I’ve been guilty of that.
