A short YouTube monologue by Anwar White critiquing the dating-world idea of being "high value." The speaker argues the term is superficial and prescriptive—for men it often reduces to money, education, and physique, while for women it reduces to appearance, submissiveness, and emotional silence.

I am going to talk about this concept of high value that you hear so much in the dating world that's talking about high value. I actually have a very big problem with this thought about high value. And I wanted to share this with you because so many people talk about you need to be looking for a high value man or you need to be a high value woman. And I'm here to tell you that that's all bullshit. When people say high value for men, they're often talking about he's financially stable, that he has a good job. Right. That he's educated, a good physique. Right. That he's in shape. And for women, high value often is.
More so about how she holds herself or presents herself. Right. Or how she is supportive of a man. Right. That high value also means someone that for a woman that is going to be very supportive and submissive sometimes, right? Yes. I wish it was that. But so many people are actually very like much more specific about high value. And I'm just gonna keep it real. For men, it means you gotta have money, and for women, it means you gotta shut up and be beautiful and be super supportive and not have thoughts and opinions and feelings.
