Firstly, you copy concepts from evolutionary psychology at your great peril.
Manosphere influencers eager to make a buck are happy to grab a DESCRIPTIVE construct from evopsy and hammer it into a different shaped hole of PREDICTIVE or even worse a PRESCRIPTIVE rule
A constructed view of how mate selection occurred in GENERAL in centuries and millennia past, is not at all a practical or effective way to predict how YOU will get a suitable mate NOW and HERE
Those are entirely different things

But it gets dumber Not only would SMV borrowed from evopsy be a really bad fit for trying to get a girlfriend, but the way these Influencers are doing it is both agonizingly cringy, and stupefyingly incompetent. They focus on the wrong things to measure (because they sucked it out of their thumbs and have fuckall scientific training), and they they operationalize them into questions that are clumsy, stupid, and motheaten They dwell mainly on: -Age -Money -Height -Body -Face -Grooming -Status
