Theory Mutual Hypergamy: Why Men (Can Be) Just as Hypergamous As Women (2 Viewers)

[JKCORE]

INTRODUCTION
So I was watching Hexumlite's TikTok and I came across a very interesting argument for why men are actually just as hypergamous as women, however, with nuances in place. I actually believe men are just as hypergamous as foids too, and this thread will just be going through why I actually believe this as my second thread on Looksmax.gg. This will be very much theory-based and admittedly poorly researched as this was something I thought of on the fly, so just a warning as of now, and also open to discussion on this and education further. So, without further ado, let's begin as to why I believe Men and Women are both hypergamous.

DEFINITION OF HYPERGAMY
Now, the official definition of hypergamy according to Google, hypergamy stems from the Greek "hyper" (which means above), and gamos (which means marriage), and typically the definition is the practice of marrying into a "higher class". Another definition I found is "The act of practice of seeking a spouse or romantic partner with a higher social, economic or cultural status than one's own". A lot of phrases which many people are familiar with are phrases such as "dating up" or "marrying up". So, if you didn't exactly know what hypergamy was, now you know what it is.

HYPERGAMY IN WOMEN
If you're in the blackpill/redpill/manosphere space, you'll obviously know that hypergamy in women is very much real. Hypergamy in women has always existed, and it has never been a new concept. Women have used hypergamy typically to survive in history, such as in ancient South Asian (Indian) tradition with the concept of Anuloma, which is a traditional Hindu law which was a "natural" marriage where a man from a higher caste married a woman from a lower caste. Pre-Industrial China also had records of Chinese marriage patterns which indicated female hypergamy, which resulted from female infanticide (the deliberate and intentional killing of newborn baby girls). Nowadays, the evidence for hypergamy in women is overwhelming, with women finding 80% of men unattractive (according to OKCupid data) while men finding 60% of women average or above.

Typically, looks do 100% matter into how a woman sees you, and are the most important thing. (You'd know this from being in the LM or Blackpill spaces). Women also put a huge emphasis on your status and money when it comes to dating up. And that's one major difference from men vs women, which I'll explain.

HYPERGAMY IN MEN
Now, this section comes with nuance. I believe hypergamy in men definitely exists, however, the reason as to why it's not as highlighted is because of this simple fact. Men just do not have that same level of choice when it comes to choosing a suitable partner. The average woman operates from a point of choice, while the average man operates from a point of "whatever I can get". Attractive men however, particularly good-looking, high PSL men, do operate from a point of choice. Men value a woman's beauty, looks, fertility, and youth and don't actually have any real emphasis on a woman's status and money. I believe a lot of men, given the choice and option, would date a more attractive woman. 20% of men admit to cheating at least once, compared to 13% of women (marriagescience.com). Among millenials and Gen Z, both men and women are increasingly cheating for the same reasons: needs are not being met at home. On dating apps, the top 1% of men dominate and have access to most women. This implies attractive men have choice, and if men value beauty, look, fertility and youth, most likely, an attractive man will go for the woman who most fits this bill. A lot of average men do not have this choice, so they are unable to exercise hypergamy.

It's human nature to want the best partner possible, therefore to get the best partner possible, being hypergamous is part of human nature. That's why humans have the concept of infidelity in the first place. If given the choice, men would date the woman they find most attractive and most fertile, just like women.

Its sad that proving something so obvious here, requires writing two pages of text, given the fact that people who support the theory of unequal hyphergamy for men and women, base all of their opinions on men dominated datting apps data, wow its such a discovery that in the habitat with gender imbalance the less numerous one will have more options

To a lot of people especially in the manosphere for some reason such a concept as mutual hypergamy is not something they can grasp It is pretty sad people can’t just think

 

[JKCORE]

its mostly mens fault for womens hypergamy

I’ll hesitantly agree with you only because I think for sure there are biological reasonings for certain behaviors that women show in terms of hypergamy, but society and the men that have ran society have promoted hypergamy and in the current climate we’re in, the average man of today is suffering for the mistakes of the men that came before us who defined society

I disagree, I personally believe this goes back to when arranged marriages were far more common. Many women were married off to wealthier and higher status men as currency and an object.

For example a $100 takes a 4cents, the value of a this dollar does not rise to $100 until it enters human hands and standards, this is how women were treated. A woman only had value when she was possessed by a man.

When this system faded women decided that this value belonged to them as independent people instead of them receiving the same value as a man, they believed that simply for being a woman they could marry upwards and gain status and as looks became gradually more important than family/clan status the principle remained.

This’ll be a long reply lmao, sorry in advance. I get what you’re saying and I hear you, but imo you’re just explaining WHY female hypergamy exists, not necessarily why it only exists in women. Yes, I’ve acknowledged the historical point of women depending on men economically. That’s not where my disagreement is and others don’t disagree either. However, this does not necessarily contradict my argument that men are hypergamous in their own way, particularly the top 1%.

Both sexes date up, but in differing currencies. Historically, women dated up for status, social dominance, protection and resources. Historically, men optimised for beauty, fertility, youth and attractiveness sexually. Women only having value through association with the top 1% like you said proves the point: Historically differing currencies the genders “dated up” in is still mutual mate selection based on reproduction success. And like I said, male hypergamy is less obvious because men especially now, lacked abundance and opportunities. However, the top 1% have abundance and opportunities. Allowing them to be picky.

An example of this is most wealthy men dating younger women, celebrity men replacing partners and just having more mate choice

 

[JKCORE]

dnr + i can find almost any girl attractive

Sure you can. But are you the top 1% of men that have an abundance of women and can properly pick and vet which woman you prefer? And even if we were to say all of this were true, you’re just one individual. An exception does not apply to the rule in my opinion.

So I was watching Hexumlite's TikTok and I came across a very interesting argument for why men are actually just as hypergamous as women, however, with nuances in place. I actually believe men are just as hypergamous as foids too, and this thread will just be going through why I actually believe this as my second thread on Looksmax.gg.

On dating apps, the top 1% of men dominate and have access to most women. This implies attractive men have choice, and if men value beauty, look, fertility and youth, most likely, an attractive man will go for the woman who most fits this bill. A lot of average men do not have this choice, so they are unable to exercise hypergamy.

It's human nature to want the best partner possible, therefore to get the best partner possible, being hypergamous is part of human nature. That's why humans have the concept of infidelity in the first place. If given the choice, men would date the woman they find most attractive and most fertile, just like women.
