Who Decides What You’re Socially Worth?
People make assumptions about you just by seeing the way you interact with and react to others.
Are you a valuable enough man for her to date?
Are you worth a promotion at your job?
Should you get let past the velvet rope in this nightclub?
You Pick Your Value
When you interact with someone else, everyone who sees it can imagine what it would be like to deal with you. If you seem submissive, aggressive, combative, supplicative, confrontational, competitive, assertive or cooperative, they’ll assume you’re always like that. They’ll assume that’s how you’ll treat them.
We want to show everyone the highest-value traits about ourselves. By choosing to do this, we project that we value ourselves as high-value individuals with confidence, goals, and self-worth. If you ignore it, you may be sending the wrong signals–and some of the distinctions (such as “when do I buy her a drink?”) can be quite subtle.

We just re-made the Pickup Podcast Value Toolbox episodes because we feel they’re so important. This kind of knowledge can change your life–everyday interactions with your friends and family will take on a new depth, and you’ll be able to pursue your goals with greater success.
