Absolute value and relative value?

Do you think this is true? I saw a video which proposes that men have absolute value and relative value. Absolute value is the things which gives a man social status (good job, good social skills etc) and relative value is his ability to flirt with women and provoke the right emotions which make him attractive to her. It proposes that both are needed for a good relationship to happen.

It says low relative value, low absolute value = women don’t want anything to do with him
Low relative value, high absolute value = he gets friend zoned
High relative value, low absolute value = player
High relative value, high absolute value = relationship material for women

welll since u ask.... I think the classification system is very frat and reductive... different labels for some old and tired manosphere stereotypes. It's not totally incorrect in terms of being a heuristic that allows young dudes to make sense of wat rlly happens but it's also warped in terms of how it projects wat women want.

Coz wat some women see as a "good rel" is delivered by guys in the third group the "playas." If women didn't want wat they have to offer, then they would not be "playas" because they could not get it on.... so instead they would be "incels." That's coz some women ONLY WANT SEX and don't want emotional involvement and for them, those "playa" dudes offer "ideal rel type." Just read TSR for the numerous complaints dudes make about women who friendzone them and hook up with the playas the same night....
