- Market conditions change based on the ratio of available partners
- Value is determined by the observer's preferences, not the individual's intent
- Dating operates on principles of supply and demand
- Perceived value is built from traits and signals
- Market position correlates directly with the number of interested suitors
- Human worth is intrinsic and unchanging
- High value leads to more 'passive' interest from the market
- Market value is a specific measure of 'trade-in' desirability in dating
- Everyone has a 'perceived value' based on what the broader dating pool is looking for
