Yes I think it's an awfully terminology. I do however think that some people under value their worth as a person, and tigers over value it, but I just hate that terminology.
*Others not tigers 🤣, although tigers probably do over value themselves, but they have a right to 😂😂😂
Thanks for the MHO ♥️
It is disrespectful but also it is very subjective. Who is the one that determines one's SMV?
That’s a good question!
Maybe people should have trading cards like ball players do with all their stats.
Lol.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!I think the normal term says market rather than marketplace, which somehow makes it seem more like a sociology term and less like the expected profit if prostituting oneself.
It isn't really offensive to me and I suppose there are social phenomena where having a term like it is useful. As with many sciences it is sort of the art of stating obvious things though. Yes, we know people prefer sleeping with attractive people (whatever that is to them) and that men and women typically have different roles and concerns when it comes to pursuing physical relations.
Of course if someone walked up to me and started assessing my "sexual marketplace value" I'd be insulted. In part because it seems odd but mostly because they are messing up the term they are trying to reference.
No, you’re just upset because you haven’t come to terms with getting old/declining.
I just think it's odd to refer to people as if they're for sale.
Well, you technically are in a way. You showcase a product and after some time that product is just not what people want anymore because it ages and there’s newer things coming in or they go for something that offers more.
she's 35. I'd hardly say that's old or declining. @SofiSin667
Yes. It is disrespectful. Humans are so much more than their sexual history. Ugh. This term gives me the heebie jeebies.
I think this is a deeply pernicious term - whether applied to men or women. It reduces relationships to superficial transactions, and people to objects. It twists the minds of young people - and young men in particular. Just horrible.
It's sad to hear that sometimes, but it's reality and better to know reality then to reject it and go into the world blind.
Everyone has different preferences when it comes to the opposite gender but it's true that there are some general indications of someone's sexual market value.
Better keep busy trying to maximize it then waste time feeling disrespected.
Can’t it just be called “attractiveness”?
It can be called attractiveness. But I think that market value means more like you will be with someone with about the same market value. Like when the demand equals the supply. I think this is more the point of calling it market value.
I will take YES for $1000, Alex. Yeah I'd have to say that term demeans, devalues and cheapens the purpose of Intercourse. Plus, it sounds to be the term that is used by streetwalkers and the Kardashian Sisters!!
I'm not sure how much my opinion will matter to you since I'm a few years younger than you but at the same time I'm not the young catch lol. But I will say that I once endorsed this ideology and I'm glad I broke away from it. those guys are so damn lost on human behavior, interaction, and basic decency to others. I honestly think it stems from not being properly guided by their parents and also behind destroyed by a woman. I can say that's how it was for me. Feeling around in the dark on your own without any support or guidance to understand the opposite sex is daunting and it's easy to decide after a few bad experiences to shut yourself out and label all women the same. I was heavily into Red & Black pill crap there for like 2 years. It was toxic and it did nothing to address the core issues of my life, loneliness, no love, no one holding me, no one appreciating me. I need that in my life.
These guys trashed me for wanting a family of my own. they think I'm a sucker for wanting marriage. But idc I won't be happy alone and I know that. I didn't have parents around for me but I want a good woman to be there for me and I her and just be able to pour all the love in my heart to her everyday for the rest of our lives together. So no I think the term is full of s***. I've met older women that are so much more emotionally and mentally stimulating then some of the younger girls. I do like both but I'll put it to you like this OP. You were about the age of one of my female exes. She had a year on you and I was 19 at the time. I found her very intellectually stimulating and refreshing because she wasn't always childish and acted with a high level of class and sophistication.
Great take!
I don’t like it but it has no applicability in the real world. Guys I know just don’t think that way.
Right, like I mentioned, I’ve never even heard of that outside of G@G.
Same
@flower7 This is what I found for you... Sexual Market Value according to this definition is "how much does the rest of society want to breed with you"?
It's an easy way to explain things, if you're having trouble with it, just means your smv is low.
I understand what it means. I just think it's a weird phrase to use.
Not really, markets make things easier to understand value wise
Not really. Think of it as like your “stock market value”
Well attractiveness is a real thing but putting a market value on it is overboard.
Never heard of this before.
First I’ve heard it and it kind of puts a economic tarnish on what is otherwise a beautiful part of life.
That sounds very demeaning.
First time I ever heard the saying
No. Its reality. The older you get as a person the less desirable you become to the opposite sex from physical appearance to sexual motivation assuming they are much younger than you.
It's reality and many find reality offensive.
Do you feel like this phrase only applies to women?
Not at all. Women make it very clear that men have value based on a very narrow set of traits.
Never heard of it.
I think it's neither disrespectful nor romantic. It's a reality most of us would rather not deal with.
