Let’s be honest here, being “high-value” has nothing to do with money or looks, despite what the late Kevin Samuels and others in the so-called manosphere and feminists have said.
You’re not “high-value” because you drive a nice car, make six figures, or have perfect skin. That just makes you shiny packaging—not substance.
Good looks are superficial, subjective, and a matter of happenstance.
Wealth is a byproduct of being a person of value, though luck (which we tend to create by virtue of our actions) often plays a role.
To designate someone as “high-value” based on money and/or pulchritude misses the mark. Badly.
A man with money but no discipline is just a rich fool.
A woman with looks but no respect for herself is just pretty chaos.
The reality is that high-value is an attitude: self-control, integrity, and standards that don’t crumble under pressure.
In other words, being high-value is a function of character.
Remember, “value” is a quality, “success,” the outward signs of which are material wealth and power, is an outcome.
Money and beauty fade. Character doesn’t.
Stop calling yourself “high-value” because strangers want your curated Instagram lifestyle.
Value isn’t in what you show off, it’s in what you live by. Value doesn’t have to advertise and never shows off.
That’s why so many of us overlook the people who are truly high-value. We are focused on the package, not examining the underlying substance.
