Other people put it better but being high value is tricky for some people because it's about who you are, not what you have, and that's a harder thing to quantify.

- 10-12% body fat + muscle
- Looks maxing
- Fast cars + Nice watches
It's an intense and often superficial standard in which 95% of people will never obtain and the message seems to resonate that you're a piece of shit if you don't have this.

On top of that the people pushing that are usually either faking that they have it (either lying about having it, renting things or being in huge debt), or lying about how they got it. A buddy of mine is friends with a bunch of those kinds of people and it's all BS. Nepo babies claiming they're #selfmade and conveniently leaving out the huge leg up and pile of cash their families gave them.
