How many famous plays and novels have been written about the "high status" person falling in love with the "low status" person?
The lizard brain wants what the lizard brain wants. The whole purpose of game is to activate those lizard brain responses. It's why you need to touch a girl before you fuck her.
The plays/books/movies that have two people of different SMV fall in love & elope are more fantasy than reality, I believe. Like how Hollywood sells the fantasy of "the one" for eternal marriage bliss. I think everyone wants to believe that they'll meet someone and totally fall in love with someone way out of their own league but it just rarely, rarely happens in real life.
I'll give the example of my high school experience as a reflection of reality: how many times do you see a popular cheerleader date a nerd, or really anyone other than a popular guy. Never. Cheerleaders would not look at me twice in HS. I remember one formal dance we had, I asked all these pretty girls to go with me and not one said yes. After 5 tries I asked a semi-popular cheerleader who said yes because she felt sorry for me. Then at the dance we danced one song and she left to go with her friends and a guy she liked. High School social strata and social positions is not really different from the rest of the world, except that out of high school you're allowed more of an opportunity to ascend the ranks.
I truly believe in dating leagues: guys and girls of different SMVs simply don't date. But don't look at this as discouraging. Look at this inspiring. If you want a high SMV girl find out what you have to do to up your SMV and you'll become a better man: wealthier, self-reliant, socially intelligent & physically healthier.
But there's also a distinction to be made: dating vs hooking up. Lots of people of different SMVs hookup all the time for ONS's and mini-mini relationships (1-2 days until the girl quickly discovers she's a higher SMV than the guy). But actual dating, no, couples are usually within 1-2 points of SMV of each other.
Another thing to point out is that SMV is not the same as character. I know guys who are really great men: hard-working, honorable, honest, leaders, etc. But they're dating some slovenly women. And I know totally shit men - lazy, dishonest, followers, dumb - who are dating decent girls. Thus it goes without saying that SMV is more about appearance and inner game (sense of entitlement, social intelligence) than the character of the man.
