A DHV is purely a demonstration that you have high value, popularised by a famous pick up artist called Mystery.

The idea is that a girl can notice you display high value from across the room in a nightclub setting. Mystery would Demonstrate High Value via DHV storytelling by using canned material that he’s previously prepared, or routines.

Or the use of a physical display of higher value, the later being the most effective. Demonstrating High Value is designed to elicit attraction in the female towards the high status male.

• A DHV story can be fact checked
• Demonstrating High Value requires you to already be high value
• Telling a DHV and being caught lying will backfire

”My Hollywood producer friends and I race our private jets to islands we own in Hawaii. I broke up with my last three super model girlfriends because they couldn’t keep up with my adrenalin fuelled lifestyle”

Parody of bad dhv storytelling that can be fact checked easily

DHV Storytelling

Above is an overexaggerated parody of a DHV story gone wrong. The fine line between a good DHV story and a bad DHV is plausibility. If you tell a story that’s deigned to demonstrate how high value you are, yet it’s easily fact checked, then you have instead displayed low value.

The PUA community has invented the contrasting term DLV (demonstrating low value) as a way to gauge where you may be on the spectrum between the two.

In the above video, Mystery discusses how to display high value in a nightclub setting. The problem with demonstrating high value in the scenario he describes, is that you will actually have to be high value and be surrounded with women already. This is what’s called ”circular reasoning”.

He says in this video that you need women to get women. But why would you need more girls when you are already surrounded with many women already.

Women Prefer High Status Men

One of the most common things guys say in the dating industry is that women prefer high-status men and it’s true. Here’s a study that you might find interesting on this topic, it’s an article on Evolutionary Psychology ”High Status Men (But Not Women) Capture the Eye of the Beholder”.

Recently I bumped into a guy who was pushing the teachings of a relatively new pick up company. He told me that they coach men on how to display high value and to use their sub communication. This guy was in my opinion, unfortunately a short low value manlet, please don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to be rude here. He was several inches shorter than myself (I’m already short enough at 5’8), he was poorly groomed (looked scruffy, almost homeless), his fashion was terrible too.

I humoured the guy. . .

This guy stared me straight in the eye, obviously working on his eye contact, while trying to project a deeper ”masculine” voice. He went on to tell me the importance of DHV’ing girls. I deliberately didn’t mention Mystery, nor did I burst his delusional bubble. He pitched the way he likes to work on his ”subcoms” around girls and how this demonstrated higher value to them.

Again.. I’m not trying to be crude here, but. Needless to say, I didn’t buy it. I simply saw the unfortunate fool as low value, regardless of the ”subcom” and DHV routines he was practicing. And if I didn’t fall for these tricks, I’d bet most women would see straight through it too.

Well, the fact of the matter is, most men are not high status and it doesn’t matter how much they try or work on it, they never will be ‘high-status”. Sure some dimwits will fall for their fake façade of high-status lies, otherwise known as a DHV (display high value) but most people with under average IQ will see straight through it. Women are less likely to fall for fake display’s of high value, please don’t fall for the hype, it just doesn’t work.

How To Demonstrate High Value Without Looking Delusional

• Be willing to walk away
• Sense of humour
• Be engaging
• Social Awareness
• Have a positive mindset

Willingness To Use Violence

I’m definitely not saying that you should use violence in any way shape or form. But it’s effective to signal that you are willing to use violence to protect yourself and whoever you care about. Women love this and yes it’s a fault in the female condition, but a fault that you can us to your advantage. The amount of times, I’ve heard a girl say that she wants to have a man around who can protect her, well, it’s many times.

Fashion, Grooming & Hygiene

Make sure that you at least meet the minimum requirements for grooming and hygiene. Then push past it, look for an xfactor in the way you groom yourself, go one step further than other men.

Fashion wise, this means that you need to push this above and beyond other men in your environment too. Let’s not get to the point where you are peacocking though, that’s too far.

Perceived Wealth & Education

Depending on your current level of wealth, you can signal that you may be a little wealthier than your current level. Just make it plausible. Perhaps you could upgrade the university you graduated from. Studies have found that women are impressed by men who grew up in wealthy neighbourhoods, perhaps you could upgrade this too.

Women assume that most men will exaggerate their status level anyway, keep that in mind.

Act Like You’re The Leader of the Pack

Women love the date the football quarter back, the boss of the company, the famous guy that calls all the shots. If you can project leadership qualities around women, they will respond.
