i think its because the outcome is a more successful ltr...

when you have a gf of at or more smv than you you're most likely going to start catering to her in the relationship as she has a shit ton more options due to all the simps in today's society. she might gravitate toward social media for external validation or just realize her smv has a lot more to offer than she might think -- blame this on western society now

when you have gf with smv at or below yours now you have a traditional ltr theyre probably gonna be more likely to always want to serve you... which is what a lot more of these simple traditional guys want rather than having to try and cater to a super pretty girl and be on your tippy toes at all fucking times it can get kinda exhausting given ltrs are already a lot of work on there own. some guys just want a traditional, simple life with a partner and i think today this is what it has come to....
