People are using incorrect measures when rating themselves in the dating marketplace.
The term Sexual Marketplace Value (SMV) is no longer enough.
The level of promiscuity today warrants the creation of a new term: Marriage Marketplace Value (MMV). This term will bring back clarity to people’s minds about what their value is to the opposite sex.
Years ago, the SMV and MMV were one in the same as promiscuity did not exist. One man courted one woman and each could know the other’s value. People, most of the time, had no sexual partners before marriage.
This made things much easier. Today, there is high promiscuity and lifetime romantic partners exceeding two or three.
The more romantic partners you have, the more distorted your view of the level of mate you can attract and deserve becomes.
As happens in many other spheres, the technical terms around dating and courtship must be updated to accommodate changes in society.
What people feel their SMV and MMV values are often greatly differs from the reality.
Let’s imagine that women and men are products in the dating marketplace showroom. Like other products, they don’t and can’t decide their own value.
As always, the buyer of a product decides what the values are.
(SMV)
A person’s Sexual Marketplace Value is calculated as the highest value of another person they can get to sleep with them.
A 10 (SMV) man will sleep with a 6 (SMV) woman in a pinch. That doesn’t mean that man will marry or monogamously date the woman.
That woman has a 10 (SMV).
(MMV)
A person’s Marriage Marketplace Value is calculated as the highest value of a person someone can get to marry them or monogamously date them.
Content creators and commentators should define the terms SMV and MMV from now on.
The question should be "Based on these new definitions, what is your SMV and what is your MMV?"
These numbers, when defined, will, today, create more relevant discussions and understandings.
Example questions:
Both on a scale of 1 to 10.
1 - “Miss Jones, what is the highest value of a man that you can get to sleep with you?”
2 - “Miss Jones, what is the highest value of a man who is seriously courting you for marriage?”
This will begin to remove the antiquated thoughts of SMV which are based on romantic and dating mores from 100 years ago.
This should bring a much needed sobering effect and education to the dating public.
