I wasnt talking of intrinsic value which is more philosophical, but about social value determined by the social dating market.
Its simple if 10people want the same fish, it has value to 10 people if only 2 people want it then it has value to 2.
People do find love at all ages but statistically their pool shrinks, i mean even top of the world bombshell supermodel women complain they dont get same benefits, attraction etc as when they are younger.
My friends knows a ex playboy model still very attractive but shes in 40s and had to adapt personality and a more masculine more effort approach with men.
For most men its brutal as majority women generally date up not down.
With having a wider pool choice due to social apps the gap between men who do get women and men who dont expands much further and grow over time just like gap between poor and rich grows further apart.
Recall reading that before apps men were cheating majority after it women were.
Due to status and income becoming more equal nowdays statistically most men will have less social value as women date up but the small upper pool of men uses them for sex but doesn’t commit.
See this as well all the time, dating down screws her brain into thinking she deserves only this tier of men but its short term fun not commitment then after she excludes all men from her tier as being too good for them but remains single for a long time because the higher tier doesnt commit to her after sex.
We have subs here so we are at massive advantage over majority of people but its still brutal dating warfare out there.
