I’m Not Looking for a High-Value Man

Especially not one who describes himself as such

If there’s one thing I really, really hate, it’s people speaking for me or putting words in my mouth. This is especially so when the person doing it has no idea what I think or feel about anything or is making a sweeping generalisation about “all women”.

And so to all the recent chatter about “all women” wanting a “high-value man”. I don’t know why there’s been such an uptick in this kind of talk lately — did someone let Jordan Peterson out again? — but I do know it’s bullshit.

For one thing, I don’t assign value to human beings like they’re a fucking Ming vase, and neither does any other woman (or man, mercifully) that I know.

These people talk about how women are apparently “all competing for the top 20% of men” but who even puts people in strata like that? It’s literally only men who use terms like “high-value man”, and even then only incels, or at least the more unsavoury members of the men's rights movement, those who have been “red-pilled”. Or is it blue-pilled? I’m sorry, I’ve never actually seen The Matrix.

“Surely, value is subjective”
