Demonstration of Lower Value – DLV

The definition of demonstration of lower value, or DLV for short is to do or say something that makes you less valuable in the eyes of the girl that you’re currently pursuing. This can be something that you say, but it is usually the result of a certain behavior. In most cases, the result of DLV is usually less attraction and it can be the cause of break-ups in certain cases. However there is an exception where DLV is actually beneficial and will increase attraction, we’ll cover this exception in this article.

If we were to generalize and say that the idea behind attraction is that we’re attracted to people that are valuable, then DHV would be the term to represent increasing that value and DLV would be decreasing in value. The perception of value changes from person to person and therefore what is DLV for one person might not be for another. Here are some general examples of how guys accidentally DLV themselves on a regular basis.

Common Examples of DLV

• Self depreciating humor
• Not having any money
• Insulting (bring down) their friends
• Trying to impress people
• Perform too many favors
• Being “the nice guy”
• Not standing up for themselves
• Bragging about accomplishments
• Being ignorant
• Caring about what others think
• Poor social awareness

These are the most common examples of DLV that one might encounter on a regular basis. Although it’s not always obvious, these tend to lower your value in front of women. There are numerous more that range from being childish to simply being rude, all of which show that you don’t have any class. One of the most frequent DLV’s that I see is that guys put down their friends in front of women. People tend to surround themselves with people that are like them, and if you put your friends down then you’re only putting yourself down by association.

The Exception to DLV

The only exception to DLV being negative is if you say a DLV statement that shows that you really don’t care and you aren’t trying to impress anyone. For instance, if you’re with a girl and you say: “Oh I’m really bad at eating with chopsticks” then although this it’s a DLV, it shows that you aren’t trying to impress her. By actively not trying to impress her, you gain value in her eyes. It’s counter-intuitive in the way that it works, but sometimes by trying not to impress someone, you end up impressing them. It’s like the Simpsons said: “If you don’t care if you’re cool, then you’re cool. ”

As a general rule, displaying lower value is not a good thing. So if you catch yourself putting yourself down from time to time, know that you’re only reducing any possible attraction. Instead, I suggest you adopt a slightly more confident attitude and watch the results!
