Everyone in the incel sphere is always whining about hypergamy as if it's some unsalvageable biological fact, but nobody ever wants to admit that we are the ones funding it (not even incels, the entire male gender as a whole)

Hypergamy isn't some external force, its a market reaction to an infinite supply of unlimited attention. For example when guys spend all day texting girls literally just inflating their dms they're subsidizing the same standards that end up overleveling them and being left out.

Its genuinely just economic distortion. If a mtb is bombarded with thousands of dms telling her shes a ten, her perceived value is going to skyrocket. and its not like shes delusional, shes genuinely just giving a normal reaction to a surplus amount of validation that we gave away for nothing. all we are doing is setting the standards higher for ourselves and making our own attention cheap and worthless.

And the irony is that we'd all do the exact same thing if we had the leverage. any guy with a line of thousands of girls at his door would definitely choose the best looking girl out of the crowd. Its a weird analogy but we ruined the market by becoming desperate buyers in a monopoly game we built ourselves, if the bar is too high its because we are the ones who put it there.

I just wanted to spread this as I feel more people need to come to the realization that it's not girls fault for their unrealistic standards, instead its ours. Though Im not denying that they still contribute to hypergamy, for example heightism, that's a narrative that they pushed, tiny girl with big dude. We let them create their own fantasies just from our mistakes of giving them too much attention, and now it has left men in a drought as they cannot find a significant other.

This is basically a open discussion though, so I would like to hear your guys's thoughts on it aswell.

Agreed, I DNR women regularly, rarely ever compliment them and actually get more slays than when I sucked up to them, fair enough I was introduced to looksmaxxing so of course looking better adds to that, but girls don't want to be treated with love because that is what they are exposed to 24/7, they want something exciting, more fun, which involves being an actual man and to not be soft.

There's way too many cucks, incels, simps for this to ever change though, however its better for us because chad is still kept a rarity, therefore sought after.

Same as to me, I remember being a suck up to so many girls and I always got toyed with or just straight up cheated on, and its not even like I'm an ugly guy, I'm considerably hmtn. But as soon as I dropped the simp act I continuously kept getting girls.

Agreed, if anything I would say its drastically getting worse day by day, literally due to hypergamy. We pretty much put ourselves in an endless loop that could never be fixed.

You're basically right, people just don't wanna admit it.

Obviously hypergamy didn't magically appear out of tin air, but the level it's at right now is 100% because of men.

If 1000 dudes are telling a mid girl that she's perfect, why would she ever settle for someone average?

Things like height, looks and status have been there since the dawn of human time, it's just extremely inflated.

If male attention had some scarcity again (which it won't), standards would drop naturally. But that's never gonna happen because most guys have zero self-control.

Agreed, I feel like something that can be fully blamed on females though is heightism, we didn't push that narrative at all, they did.

And we just let it happen because their standards are already through the roof because of us. Like picture 100 years from now, we think hypergamy is currently bad imagine the future.

They can just keep increasing their standards more and more, and they won't be critiqued for it since its already happened in the past.

When they come to me for consultations I send them home crying, I notify them of every miniscule flaw, they pay me for the consultation and keep coming back, you should see their faces especially the 4/10s, they're flabbergasted as if they've been read a new revelation.

though is heightism, we didn't push that narrative at all, they did.
I disagree.

"Heightism" hasn’t been invented recently, it's been around as long as humans have. Women generally preferring taller men is pretty well documented and tied to basic security.

Physical dominance became less central over time as societies got more structured (laws, weapons, social order, etc) so traits like status, resources, etc. mattered more alongside it. But height preference never went away. It just got inflated.

I mean you can use that argument but If I were to say its biological for men to be attracted to younger women for their fertility, than its an issue.

Its 2 sides of the same coin

Yea I don't normally use snap, shes a girl from my school and we normally texted on imsg but she randomly asked for my snap

Snap is like a last resort for me I barely use it lmao
I only use it when a girl is extremely boring, a good way to stil "keep up" without much effort.

Works the best when you've already met her tho.

Number is much better, I use to just ask for ig until I got hwid
But that's also correct? lol
They are both correct but I'm trying to point out the double standards mate, here's another example.

Have you seen how normalized it is for teenage girls to romanticize older men?

Reverse the roles and its a whole other story

But that doesn't really matter in this context as we're not talking about societal norms, rather the reality about hypergamy.

What the average guy thinks/ or what's a double standard doesn't matter in this context.

We're just talking about the truth. Or are you just posting to post?

ur just trying to shut down my point by claiming "biological truth" is the only thing that matters, but ur missing the entire point

biology literally sets the baseline, but the market sets the price.

Biological truth doesn't exist in a vacuum, sure height preference might have a biological root, but height ism as we see it today is much different, for example a girl who's 5'2 thinking shes entitled to a guy who's 6'5.

That's more than just biological root, its a social inflation caused by us and them. Biology makes her want someone taller, yes. But our infinite inflation and demand of attention shes getting gives her unrealistic standards and she thinks shes worthy of the top 1% of tall men

you see clips of women rating themselves a 10/10 of interviews all the time i think a solid 70% of the time the genuinely believe they are.
at the end of the day no matter why hypergamy is so extreme we still have to live through it at the end of the day i can't change the actions of both men and women around me so whether its due to down bad men or picky women (it both causing it) its the same outcome
