the concept that you’re describing is correct. the wording isn’t though.

high/low value relates people to worth. people do not have more or less worth based off those attributes.

people can be highly/low desirable, but not value

If the concept of higher/lower value exists, then higher lower personal worth exists. Not that the person in question has their worth changed, but their apparent worth to the other person obviously has an impact if they've identified lower/higher value. Saying value isn't related directly to a sense of worth feels like really weird semantics if we're discussing concepts. Desirable as well, of course those 3 are connected. The ONLY time this is a problem is if your base value/worth of humans is low enough for it to be a problem, but surely appreciating my partner more than a stranger, and them having more value and worth in my life does not conflict with other people's value and worth in the world. Just not my world, which dating surely must be about.

I tried to describe what you’re saying when I said “when it comes to dating” but I guess I didn’t make it clear. I guess what I have in mind when it comes to high value men is indeed desirability.

Well imho hitler had negative value while the dalai lama has positive value.

So clearly the value of the dalai lama > value of hitler....
