JBW (just be white) gets memed but its downstream of a real thing: you are not a fixed SMV, youre an SMV relative to a market. take a 5.5 PSL white or east asian guy whos average at home. drop him in parts of SEA, eastern europe, or latam and his perceived value jumps because of novelty, height/feature contrast, and economic signaling.
im not saying be a creep abroad. im saying your dating market at home might be the single worst variable in your life and you treat it as a constant. you can change the map.
rough SMV uplift ive personally observed (anecdotal, fight me):
- western europe / US tier1 city: baseline, brutal
- eastern europe: +0.5 to 1, but they have their own chads
- SEA (thailand/philippines/vietnam): +1 to 1.5 for a fit groomed western guy
- latam (colombia/brazil): +0.5 to 1, depends heavily on your style/social
fix your face AND your map. why are you fighting on the hardest difficulty
