After coming across the notion of SMV I have been under the impression that women are more clueless as to their places in the reality of how men really think and how that relates to them getting the kind of man they want, but now I'm not so sure.
When I look around I see so few guys doing anything that would improve their standing with woman and when I bring up realities relating to how women get what they want a lot of guys are incredulous. They just seem to assume they sit there and wait for a woman to fall into their lap, which is more like the female strategy.
Then I look around and I see quite a lot of girls hitting the base of doing what they can to make themselves more physically attractive. They've at least understood the dynamic that men aren't that interested in unattractive women. Though it ends there and most women are pretty clueless beyond this, particularly regarding to how their SMV falls as they age and what they can do to extract what they want from the market of men.
By and large there are two female strategies:
1) make yourself as attractive as you can - making yourself a high-hanging fruit to make men climb the tree to do battle for you
2) do absolutely nothing, fall off the tree and wait for someone to pick you up
It seems more guys are taking the latter route also. The problem is if you're not particularly attractive you probably won't get picked up; and if you are you are limiting yourself to a small number of generally low quality women who see you as an opportunity to get access to better looks than they are worth.
