Acronyms and terms in the dating, "Game", relationship studies

These are acronyms and terms that you will see when reading articles and posts in this knowledge space, and what I have found that they mean.  I do not endorse many of these ideas, only want to help others to understand what they are reading


  • D - Dominant person in a relatinpship
  • DD - Dominant-Dominant (a relationship where both partners are dominant)
  • DMV -
  • Game
  • Hypergamy
  • LTR - Long Term relationship
  • MMP - Marital Market Place
  • MMV - Marital Market Value (1-10 rating of the person's "value" or appeal to another, for marriage, in the "market" place)
  • PUA - Pick-up artist
  • QT - Quality Time. Editorial: this can be any kind of doing things "together" cheerfully.
  • RMV - Relationship Market Value (1-10 rating of the person's "value" or appeal to another, for the establishment of a longer-term relationship, in the "market")
  • SAHM - Stay-At-Home-Mom
  • SF - Sinle Female
  • SM - Single Male
  • SMP - Sexual Market Place
  • SMV - Sexual Market Value (1-10 rating of the person's "value" or appeal to another, from a purely sexual standpoint, in the "market")
  • Solipsism - a theory in philosophy that your own existence is the only thing that is real or that can be known (merriam-webster.com). In this respect, it really refers to believing in "your reality"
    • In one aspect of dating and relationships, it is the notion that the more confident you are about your reality, the greater your power to influence or dominate the interaction; in other words, being strong, confident, and successful in mind so that you will be those things in actuality. Editorial: in moderation, it is confidence that leads to success; in extreme, it is debilitating self-centeredness.
    • In another respect, it is projecting your own values and thoughts onto others, assuming that they see things just as you do. (A man rejecting a woman who he finds unattractive may assume that women are superficial vis a vis physical attributes, for example.) Or, "everything is as I believe it to be."
