If you are a 6/10 or lower, then I’d discourage you from using dating apps. Instead, I’d encourage you to double-down on yourself and do the work needed to increase your value on the sexual marketplace.
If you are a 7/10, you’re going to have a harder time. But, good photography can be an equalizer to improve the optics of your value one point higher. However, don’t rely on trick photography, you still have work to do.
If you are an 8/10 or higher, then congratulations, you’ve done the work. Continue to keep working on yourself and enjoy being one of the 20% of men that are spoilt for choice on dating apps.
The first step is a brutally honest self-assessment. Take a good, hard, look at yourself and your life, and rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10. With 10 being the absolute best version of yourself, and 1 being the worst. Do not compare yourself to a Hollywood actor, or a billionaire. You are asking yourself: “Am I the best version of myself?”
Factor in the following for your age: Your job, wealth, self-care, your physique, look, style, your network, your hobbies, if you have kids, your car, and your home. The “Looks, Money, Status, and Game” chapter covers most of this.
If you are a 7/10 male or lower, you are basically competing for scraps. So, again, this is why it’s vital for men to understand that chasing excellence, and not women, will always be your best ROI in life.
What that means is, if you are a high-value man (so an 8/10 or better), you are spoiled for choice with women on dating apps. It’s absurd to say this, but a 3/10 female is shooting for the 8/10 male or better - and she’ll genuinely think she’s in with a chance of landing one.
