Picture these 2 scenarios:
- You’re 35 years old, work the same decade-old 9 to 5, have 3 annoying kids running around, drive a Toyota, and have mortgages that shave your paycheck clean. The high-school sweetheart you married is now a wrinkly matron and a booze paunch has replaced your erstwhile six-pack.
- Again, 35. In great shape. A booming business. Ever-active side projects. A roaring Ferrari. Custom-tailored clothes. No kids. And a host of young and attractive women to choose from.
Which scenario would you rather be in?
The Only Difference Between the Two
It’s the question, “How long do you wait before deciding to “cash-out” your Sexual Market Value (SMV)?”
Evolutionarily speaking, a woman’s looks dictate much of her sexual value. But for men, it’s a host of things — confidence, risk-taking ability, grooming, leadership skills, charisma, etc.
One hard puberty slap and “girls” metamorphose into attractive women. But we’ll still be the awkward freckled boys, albeit leagues hornier.
