00:00:00.000 they're not godly women there's godly women right they're just being doing the godly things with
00:00:05.840 someone else you know what i mean so um i love kevin samuels and um really i would say he was
00:00:12.960 a mentor to me i looked up to him i think he was a genius um however there's things that i guess
00:00:19.360 when i i started in this um in this youtube space i kind of thought were true um and were not as true
00:00:29.360 as I thought initially, right? So when I got in here, I would meet these women that just would 1.00
00:00:36.500 talk about these crazy high dating standards. I remember like four or five years ago, I met a 0.99
00:00:46.600 woman in LA and one of my first viral clips was this woman saying she would not get engaged unless
00:00:52.540 she got a $300,000 engagement ring. 300,000, like that's ridiculous. And this woman was overweight, 0.96
00:00:58.940 black woman classic right and this is what i thought and this is what i found to be true when 0.98
00:01:03.860 i did interview after interview after interview right i did all these interviews and all the 0.98
00:01:09.040 women they said um they wanted high value men they wanted men that made were six feet made six 1.00
00:01:15.740 figures until you know i had another show there was a woman she was absolutely gorgeous like 22 1.00
00:01:22.320 25-ish, that age range. And she said that she only likes nice guys, right? She likes men that 1.00
00:01:30.120 make good money. And then she banged someone I know with a criminal record, right? No, it wasn't 0.99
00:01:37.300 Allie. No. Why do we not believe women when they say they like nice guys, but somehow we believe
00:01:42.900 women when they say, I want six feet, six figures, six inches. So many women say that they're only 1.00
00:01:50.860 looking for a certain standard of men and in my opinion women say this to look good for their 0.99
00:01:56.460 friends because you must be really awesome if you can demand that right but life hits women in the 0.99
00:02:03.340 face and a lot of the women that said they wanted men worth six feet six figures six inches banged
00:02:09.180 men with absolutely none of that broke men men with small um men that did not make six figures
00:02:17.200 So to start the show, I do want to credit Nuclear Caudillo and Ryan Stone for this stream.
00:02:24.760 A lot of the stuff I'm going to articulate is stuff I've kind of learned from both of their channels.
00:02:30.380 So I want to, as I generally talk about this topic, I do want to give credit where credit is due, right?
00:02:37.200 So we're going to talk about Kevin Samuel's definition of high value. 0.94
00:02:40.700 Now, to be fair, because women are so whimsical, he at least had the balls to define it, right? 0.97
00:02:47.900 But we're going to keep going. 0.98
00:02:49.100 It's a high-value bid. 1.00
00:02:50.680 If you've been watching me long enough, you know that women have unrealistic dating standards in the current dating market. 0.98
00:02:57.580 And men need all the help they can get. 1.00
00:02:59.680 Even if you have the essentials, money, fitness, and game, you have to focus on the fine details in order to get ahead.

00:04:31.160 Glad you asked, let's define it.
00:04:34.560 Welcome back.
00:04:35.400 you don't know my name is kevin samuels i'm a professional men's and corporate image consultant
00:04:40.120 my job is to make sure my clients look good smell great i know the best version i'm not
00:04:44.400 i'm not putting your plugs viral but here's the thing so many people are talking about high value
00:04:51.280 this high value that and many times they're actually talking about me and saying as though
00:04:56.820 well kevin said this or kevin saying that and many people are getting it 100 wrong so in an attempt
00:05:03.660 to make sense of all this i want to give you guys the simple six basic principles that i define as
00:05:10.380 being high value now again you don't have to agree with what i'm saying but this is what i'm talking
00:05:16.720 about when i'm saying a high value man so your mileage may vary your opinion is your opinion but
00:05:22.640 when i'm talking about this is what i'm talking about so let's get it started first of all let's
00:05:26.960 go over some basic definitions high great greater than normal in quantity size or intensity value
00:05:32.660 the regard of something held to deserve the importance worth or usefulness to something
00:05:37.700 and man an adult human male so when you put all that together what do you have an adult human
00:05:43.420 male that's greater than normal importance or usefulness to what their group basic economic
00:05:49.800 principle states that the value of something now what i think he's getting wrong here is he's
00:05:54.820 conflating the value of men to society versus to women women don't always like what's useful
00:06:02.480 right you could be a useful man to society and women will still view you as useless this doesn't
00:06:12.080 take away from your value as a man but you know there's winners in lieu with losers in love and
00:06:17.400 there's damn near criminals um with nothing to their name not even attractive just willing to
00:06:24.500 be degenerates that women value highly and i'll get to how i would define it all right so let's
00:06:30.860 is what a market is willing to pay for it the value is determined by what the market yeah and
00:06:37.940 so for me the market's got to be women what are women willing to do to get it right not what are
00:06:46.420 other men you know i've always said men care more about money than women uh because it's always the
00:06:52.400 fathers that tell their daughters to go marry rich where women want to marry broke that's why all of
00:06:57.380 our favorite movies are marrying broke men um even if the rich guy's hot in all of and we're
00:07:05.300 gonna go through that in all of our favorite movies right the rich men um titanic and um
00:07:11.660 the notebook all the alternative men are chads too they're like giga chads right and when we're
00:07:18.520 talking about individuals the market is other people men or women so a high value man i would
00:07:25.660 we got to take you know because men aren't aren't the ones sleeping with you so when we're talking
00:07:31.360 about the dating market not society as a whole the dating market the high value men have to be
00:07:37.680 performing in the dating market and i'm gonna get into it it's completely determined by the market
00:07:44.400 case in point you can have a vehicle a home anything in your possession you can hold it
00:07:51.520 dear it could be supremely important to you but when you put it on the market the market decides
00:07:57.000 and there's an upper limit and a lower limit it doesn't really matter if you think the low is too
00:08:01.820 low or the high is not high enough that's what the market is willing to pay for it and that is its 0.99
00:08:08.040 overall value that is what women want is not a man's concern um it is if they're the ones 0.96
00:08:15.980 fucking right grape is illegal grape is a you can't you know so what men want doesn't matter
00:08:23.920 because women have to select right now this doesn't mean you're valued to society it's not 0.99
00:08:29.920 to society but you have to have women like there has to be women that are young hot and of quality
00:08:37.780 interested in you if they're not well you can't you can't say you're a winner in this game you
00:08:44.400 what i mean there's men taking virginities every day it just might not be you and i'm not saying
00:08:49.760 i'm necessarily a winner in this game right you know it's uh and so i'm not saying this to look
00:08:54.960 down on anybody but you know we gotta i'm trying to quantify things accurately with us forever
00:09:00.880 and when we start talking about that we're dealing with people it really throws people
00:09:04.960 off because it seems so cold so calculated but like there's no women equality today there are
00:09:10.800 right there are now i'm not saying there's a lot right and a lot of them make really bad decisions
00:09:16.960 but when women are young there's no tattoos no debt when women are 18 they have their virgins
00:09:23.280 maybe not virgins but um they're they're typically have no debt and no tattoos and they're banging 0.93
00:09:29.840 somebody it's just not you you know take eat the l you know they're not godly women there's godly 1.00
00:09:36.160 women, right? They're just being, doing the godly things with someone else. You know what I mean? 1.00
00:09:43.340 That's the way the world is. So let's get into this whole high value man thing. Number one,
00:09:48.880 in order to be a high value man, it starts with money. Again, like it or not, I didn't put the
00:09:53.380 six figure thing out there. It's been with us since the mid eighties and like it or not,
00:09:58.820 that's where this whole thing starts. You can't be high value and homeless. So you have to make
00:10:03.800 a certain amount of money, and the line is roughly at $10,000 a month adjusted for Atlanta dollars.
00:10:09.880 If you live in San Francisco, LA, New York City, where the cost of living is higher than 100%,
00:10:14.600 you need to adjust it. So $10,000 a month gets the starting point off for high value. Don't shoot
00:10:21.220 the messenger. I'm just giving you what the world gave me. Number two, that money needs to be made
00:10:25.700 over a length of time, i.e. performance. And that's roughly about five years. And about the
00:10:31.260 three-year mark you're kind of starting to scratch the surface why does it need to be five years well
00:10:36.420 because god it's a matter of consistency and stability look in the nfl the nba anybody can
00:10:42.860 have a great season but having a great season does not automatically mean you mean you're going
00:10:47.680 for what i would say is he has to have a great season of getting young hot women i would actually
00:10:55.620 say none of this none of this matters he has to have time and consistently banging young hot chicks
00:11:02.900 if he steps out of the market they have to still be interested it has to be what are women banging
00:11:09.540 plenty of men make money for three to five years and get no women the fame they want to see 1.00
00:11:15.060 consistent numbers over a period of time five girls a year i need at least five chicks a year
00:11:21.380 and you could say well i i'm trying to i'm trying to put it you could say well maybe he's rusty
00:11:27.940 right maybe he's just out of the game and it's kind of like coaching versus being in the game
00:11:33.060 right you know how this works just like i do in business you're getting triggered stop
00:11:38.420 pussyfooting men shouldn't concern with themselves with what women say well that's the point right
00:11:43.860 we don't care what women say they want that's the whole point i care who who are women right 0.99
00:11:50.020 who are women banging that's that's the market right and there's gonna be i'm gonna do more
00:11:57.660 quantifying can't be a one-hit wonder or have up here and down there consistency performance over 0.59
00:12:03.240 a length of time that's why they're five yeah again i'm saying consistency and performance
00:12:07.880 over a length of time banging hot women that's where it's got to be that that for me your mark
00:12:15.500 is so important like i said around three years you're starting to scratch the surface but in
00:12:19.360 five years, people can pretty much count on you to say, this person understands and knows how to
00:12:24.040 get it done. Number three is group acceptance. Like it or not, guys, high value men is like a
00:12:30.480 fraternity. It's like a club, a secret society, and high value men know other high value men.
00:12:36.860 They're welcoming men to the group. They know what it takes to be there. They know what it
00:12:40.620 takes to get in there. And high value men, group acceptance is supremely important. Guys, secret
00:12:46.360 societies, fraternities, organizations have always been with us. And you know how this just works in
00:12:51.080 just general interaction. Guys that just make their own secret society or club, but it doesn't
00:12:55.940 matter as much as somebody says that group is important. Guys, this is about separation. High
00:13:01.920 value men tend to huddle around other high value men for reasons I'm going to go into a little bit
00:13:06.700 later. But group acceptance is another critical component of being a high value man. Why is group
00:13:13.200 acceptance so important because the next part a network you have to have a network of other high
00:13:19.080 value men and others this is another stumbling block for a lot of guys for a lot of people
00:13:24.480 because they may have the money even the length of time they may look like they fit network of
00:13:30.340 women that you can bang right a network of women that if you could call that's what i would put it 1.00
00:13:36.080 a network of women that if you could call them at any time in their life you're their alpha widow 1.00
00:13:43.000 they will come running women don't care i mean they care about your business connections 1.00
00:13:50.560 the group but if they don't even have any other high value contacts or network a group of others
00:13:56.060 that person is going to be looked at with a side eye think of it like this if you're sitting at
00:14:00.500 the table with 10 high value men in each of these 10 men has 50 contacts that's 500 contacts and
00:14:08.660 And this is high value for business, right?
00:14:12.660 To society, not in the dating marketplace.
00:14:17.160 They're completely different things.
00:14:19.140 Sit at the table and you have twice as much money as any other man on there, but you have
00:14:23.920 zero contacts.
00:14:25.540 What can you effectively get done other than throw money at it?
00:14:28.460 These other men can make phone calls, exert influence, move things to get things done.
00:14:33.120 And you can only do what?
00:14:34.600 You can only do what?
00:14:35.480 offer money and potentially feed off that network of contact. One thing high value men know and
00:14:40.800 understand that time is what's important. And building a network that actually works for you
00:14:46.520 is extremely important. In some areas, it's called a book of business. A book of business can make
00:14:52.160 you successful here, here, and here. Your contacts, your network, your network is your net worth.
00:14:57.900 You've heard this before. So you cannot underestimate how important having a network
00:15:02.860 of high value men and other people is to your status as a high value man. After the network,
00:15:09.180 we got to have the visibility. Guys, your income and your position has to be LinkedIn level.
00:15:15.580 Think of it like this. This person says they're the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. This person is
00:15:21.880 head of thoracic surgery at Johns Hopkins. This person is VP of mergers and acquisitions at Bank
00:15:27.340 of America. And then someone says, hi, I'm an entrepreneur. Three of those four people at a
00:15:32.700 glance, we can pretty much estimate who they are, what they do, and their relative importance in the
00:15:39.040 overall socioeconomic structure. The fourth person, more information is needed. There's not
00:15:44.840 enough visibility, not enough transparency. To be a high value man, it needs to be at a glance.
00:15:50.680 Again, your position and your income. Guys, you may have a lot of money, but if it's coming from
00:15:56.820 sketchy areas no one can kind of understand where it's coming from that does not give other high
00:16:02.340 value men or even the public any kind of real confidence that you are who you say you are again
00:16:08.600 guys it's about the market it's what the market the world is thinking they got again my issue with
00:16:14.980 this is we're talking about the dating marketplace and the same way he would ask women are you
00:16:21.700 getting proposals from the men you want you gotta ask them are you getting sex from the women you
00:16:29.580 want that's the market right that that's the market yeah the high value man theory creates
00:16:35.920 false promises to men women have no interest know at a glance that you are a high value man and the
00:16:41.960 sixth part is probably my favorite part guys a high value man is useful to others and the group
00:16:47.260 a lot of times you hear people say i don't want to be used i don't want to be used
00:16:51.260 uh no i want to be used why because that means i'm useful high value men are in demand and you
00:16:59.180 okay i'm gonna i'm gonna keep going i like his definition for society right i like his definition
00:17:06.140 when talking about a man's usefulness and value maybe to society however i've often felt like
00:17:13.180 there's two conversations we're having um the reason i don't think this is accurate and um
00:17:19.420 is because the older i got and the more mature i got uh what i realized is these are the things
00:17:24.780 that men value so if you're looking for a husband for your daughter a man would think about this 0.60
00:17:31.740 stuff but remember we're living in a woman's world which is the devil's world and women care about 0.92
00:17:38.220 other things a man's definition is based on facts right how tall is he how much does he make 0.95
00:17:45.820 um it reminded me of the movie the titanic uh there's a reason that women love that movie
00:17:52.460 because the world is telling women to pick the men that are responsible the six six sixes 0.97
00:17:57.900 our mothers our fathers want us to select for resources genetic seconds but but resources
00:18:05.020 first they want us to select for men that give give give they want women to pick men
00:18:10.780 that give us commitment they want us to pick men that give us money they want to pick they want us
00:18:15.660 to pick men that give us status the world does not understand why we pick men that give us nothing in
00:18:22.300 return the men that take us on an emotional roller coaster the world tells us not to pick them now
00:18:31.820 my definition is there are really only two types of men to women these are the men that can make
00:18:37.340 women feel something and the men that can't the men that are able to make young attractive women
00:18:44.060 feel something in the men that can't they must be able to get a large quantity of women they have to 0.84
00:18:49.500 have a track record right in the dating marketplace not to society a track record of getting young
00:18:57.500 attractive women how young debatable how attractive debatable has to be young attractive women have
00:19:06.220 to get women over a certain quality right can't just be like bipolar right he has to get a certain
00:19:13.340 level of enthusiasm the women have to be enthusiastic about being with him he must
00:19:19.660 The women must, or not all of them, but a good chunk have to want to reproduce with him. 0.99
