Value

What does it mean to have value? When I say value, I don't mean self-esteem. Value measure the ability of a person to to survive and replicate. A person with many girlfriends, for example, has a lot of value because he is more likely to reproduce. An intelligent person, on the other hand, has a lot of survival value because he is more likely to conquer difficult situations.
It's funny to realize the implications it might have to lack or overflow with value. emotions come into play here again, by increasing our reactiveness (level of emotion) to high value and lower it at low value. Let me illustrate it with popular profiles.
A person that doesn't succeed in relationships, has few friends and has no special qualities that allow him to survive will be perceived automatically, by our brains, as a low value recipient. He will attempt to realign with high value targets for his own sake. however, his emotions will trick him and tell him to be highly reactive emotionally, which is an obvious indication of low value and he needs this interaction. Have you seen or known this person?
Another subject is the polar opposite; He succeeds in love, wealth, and health. He has so many options in relationships, friends, and money, that he has lost interest in trying to acquire things because he has the innate ability to get what he wants; his genes help him survive and replicate. his "unreactivity" is processed, in other people's brains, as high value, and we seem to have a liking for this person. Other times, low value people might exhibit jealousy, an emotion used to promote competition for a high-value object, person, or situation, and suffer at their presence, but the low value of that person is nothing for this high-value person because he can't affect him in any way. Do you know this type of person?
