That's why I said statusvalue - i.e. something that is a combination of their overall status and their value to you.

I would call that simply value. If their status matters to me, it is part of their value to me; if it does not, it is irrelevant.

This particular example is taken from the world of pick-up, which has been tested more extensively than you can imagine.

Tested by you? Ok, maybe that's too personal a question, but I'm aware in general terms of the PUA stuff, and I have only a limited interest in soup of the soup.

On the first day, you have a delicious chicken. The next day you make soup with the bones and leftovers. On the third day you make soup from the leftover soup.

In other words, an exposition only indirectly connected with the source, unrefreshed by contact with real life.

I'm one of them. I'm not committed to the view that the rather crude theory Roko outlines is true, but acting as if it's true indeed seems to be useful. I'm not a PUArtist, I'm a PUInstrumentalist.
