So the moment you approach a group do you become the lower value guy because you need their opinion ?
Nope. You become lower value if you worry too much and get nervous. Talking to people is something natural - if you don't make a big deal out of it, people also won't.
One of the bad things is that SOME of the so-called PUAs make a big deal out of everything. Think about it: If they want to talk to a girl they begin to analyze it - "What opener should I use? How to walk, talk and stand? Neg her? How to deal with the obstacles? What DHVs will I use then? Is my value lower?" and many other things. This way when they go and actually talk to her they're not there at all.
If you think how to make a good impression and "keep your value high" you will subcommunicate that you are trying hard to impress them. And even if you get your delivery perfect(which is really hard) you will not be in the moment and won't have fun at all. And if you're not having fun - it's hard to control your body language and everything else to keep the impression that you actually do have fun.
When a guy goes to a girl the girl doesn't think to herself: "Oh... another guy. Let's judje his value according to his chances of survival and replication and if it's lower than mine I will reject him.". They just get a feeling.
It's good to work on yourself and incorporate in your character some things that are considered "high value" - but not only when you're talking to girls. Just focus on having a good time with the girls. If you don't do something awful then they will probably like you. And think about this: Isn't it a demonstration of higher value to not actually try to demonstrate higher value?
