That's not what hypergamy is.
Hypergamy is her actually having children from multiple fathers.
Hypergamy is you fucking bar flies and running risks of becoming one of those fathers.
Hypergamy is you dating a single-mother thinking you'll get laid not thinking she's recklessly irresponsible and I shouldn't fuck her with a 10' pole.

Society of antiquity was hypergamy for the masses and patriarchy/matriarchy for the ruling class.

Minor nitpick: the bars for men at all ages should be orange. All men are only situationally attractive, ever, for either resources or genetic potential.

The reality of the Pareto Principle.

You should have already heard or read about the term Alpha fucks Beta bucks (AF/BB).

This term is used to describe the strategy that female humans use to ensure the acquisition of the best genetic material they can possibly get, while securing resources that would assure their offspring survival and their own.

How do men play a part in this scenario?

Throughout history, Men have played the role of leaders. Since the Pleistocene epoch to current day, competent and smart males have been the ones that have helped shape civilization as it is currently known. Ever since our earliest ancestors, female humans have been dependent of human males. Back then only the strongest, smartest and most skilled hunters were the ones who survived and thrived in such harsh conditions . Since females lack the physical strength that characterizes males, they quickly learnt that in order to ensure their survival and produce strong offspring who would have better odds at surviving, they needed to mate with only the fittest of the fittest men ( alpha males who happened to be the best providers of resources and DNA), giving no chance to lower value weaker men (beta males). By doing this they were able to secure resources (food/shelter and the protection of the tribe) and ensured that the next generation would have the best genetics. Alphas were the only ones that reproduced while betas helped females raise the offspring.  Since then, women have played the role of nature because ultimately they are the ones who choose what males are worthy of reproduction and which aren’t.

Civilization changed things.

It all started about 10,000 years ago when people decided to change from a nomadic lifestyle (hunter-gatherers) to producers of food, hence agriculture. As civilization progressed over time, things began to become easier for everyone. It was no longer necessary to be in top physical condition in order to survive. Civilization gave a more equal opportunity to men (alpha/beta) of survival. Since hard work was necessary for the rise of civilization, men conformed the majority of labor in every field of work. Throughout history men have been the builders of towns and cities, the engineers, stonemasons, bricklayers, lumberjacks and the operators of heavy machinery. Given the conditions, women were still completely dependent on men for their survival through monogamy, which is a marriage system. This system gave a more equal opportunity to lower genetic value males of reproducing if they proved to be good providers. This didn’t put a stop to female’s hypergamy. Even after the creation of monogamy, women still engaged in extra pair copulation with genetic alphas. The current statistics of extra pair copulation range from 9 to over 30 percent, that is almost 1 in 3. Given the lack of the necessary technology in the past to make this determinations, it can be assumed that the numbers were higher.

Full blown hypergamy.

With the 19th and early 20th century came the first wave of feminism. First wave feminists were fighting for women’s right to vote, which was passed by congress on June 4, 1919 and ratified in August 18, 1920. This movement marked the beginning of what was supposed to be equalization of men and women. With the feminist movement of the 1960s women began to enter the workforce in great numbers, thus they began to gain independence and self reliance. Since then, feminism has had a huge influence on society, from fifty percent of marriages ending in divorce in which eighty percent of them are started by women, court systems that favor women in custody cases, to the extreme of men not being able to ask for a paternity test in France (including through laboratories in other countries, and is punishable by up to a year in prison and a €15,000 fine).  Current society has created the perfect environment for female’s hypergamy by not only enabling, but encouraging their dual mating strategy. The regular western woman spends her late teens and early twenties ridding the cock carousel (one night stands and/or short term relationships with alpha males) which sometimes end up in pregnancies thus the rise of single motherhood, and her late twenties and early thirties looking for beta males to settle down with in marriage(which we know the odds) because of them not being able to compete with younger more fertile women for the attention of alpha males. Given that women conform a majority in universities and certain fields of work, they can easily become self sufficient. This gives them the opportunity of being able to set the highest standards in the looks, money and status of the men they can be capable to get with, leaving the majority of average or below average men( which conform eighty percent of all men) with no chances of being able to compete thus becoming invisible in the vast majority of women’s eyes.

Thank you for pointing out that hypergamy is not malicious. If hypergamy is evil, than me liking big tits, a fat ass, a pretty face and a small waist is bad. I'm not bad for liking what I like. Women are not bad for the same reason.

So much misunderstanding in this thread. It's flooded with posts from incels and most of the EC posts are buried at the bottom. I hope I can learn what I need to from this place before it gets overrun by know it all 19 year olds.

At this point the only part that gets me is how oblivious every single girl acts about this yet they operate every day in perfect lock-step with no deviations that aren't corrected. For a social dynamic it's remarkably unspoken.

Women chase resources and men chase youth. Neither wants to compromise.

tl;dr: Hypergamy is not a malicious concept but a natural reaction the SMP ratios of available desirable mates of both genders.

It is not as simple as supply and demand. Men and women are different and have different preferences.

Concrete example: men prefer quantity and variety, women want only the one very best man.

hypergamy isn't malicious... it's just natural.

you can't get mad at women for what's programmed into their DNA. iiwii.

but aren't you happy you know about all of this now?

Exactly. Why would you get mad about biology? It's just the way they are.

Great illustration. A 20-something female is automatically top 20% smv just because of her age.

This comes to mind every time i see a 20-something man lamenting how supposedly unfair it is he cant get his looksmatch. No dude, she can be your looksmatch but that doesnt necessarily mean smv match.

Hypergamy is not social conditioning. If I, or any other man, had grown up in an environment where the sex ratio is skewed to your advantage, I would build a harem and not seek only the top woman. That's because men's innate sexual strategy is polygamy.

Women's innate sexual strategy is to seek the one best man they can get. That's how hypergamy is understood on TRP. That's why they branch swing when they can. That's why the war brides dynamics.

The environment you describe, that of a massive skew in sexual desire, allows women to get that one best man much higher in the hierarchy, compared to what appear to be their own “level”, but that's not the reason behind hypergamy. An ugly woman who never grew up desires by any man and cannot attract the top men would still try to get the one best man she can get.

That picture you posted is how incels understand hypergamy - not TRP.

Add to this that Rollo usually extends the definition of Hypergamy to include AF;BB, that is he understands Hypergamy as the whole of women's sexual strategy.

I'm recently new to RP. There are men who actually get salty about hypergamy?...

LIFT.

According to the graph above a 99 year old man is more desirable than a 45 year old woman. Yeah, I don't really think so.

Also, when a man is 60 years old, yes he might still ideally prefer a woman who is 40 years old or under (and that's not always the case if he wants a serious relationship because he won't have so much in common with her) but he wouldn't mind at all landing a 50 year old woman who looks good for her age.

Mother Nature wants what She wants, and we’re kinda just along for the ride. I’ve come to enjoy the ride.

I think both concepts are relevant. Supply and demand always play a factor, of course, but if we remember the "attraction differential," then the second graph also applies. It's a mixture of both; women know they can get better (supply and demand) plus they simply arent attracted to the bottom 80%. I guess a way of looking at it is the bottom 80% thing comes from the second graph, and the fact women in the modern day only going for top 10% is the first graph.

I enjoyed your infographic. I only wish there was a way to determine the weight/population of things like MGTOW's in men and "non competitors" (land whales, lesbians, nonsymetrical looks, etc) in women. I know that I dont have answers or absolutes.

Thank god. I still have time

I disagree. Once a woman reaches 30, she has 40-50 year olds chasing her. Once she reaches 40, she has 50-60 year olds chasing her. At some point after that no one is chasing her. So the supply side never really goes away, nor does the demand side.

The market assumes there is equal distribution of knowledge of value. If she doesn't know her market value is high, The SMV matrix does not work.

Also about 30% of women out there have some form of mental issues.

This perfectly explains the situation. Eliminate the 1-5 smv females and there's only enough 6-10smv women for the 8-10 guys.

The rest of us fight for the scraps. If you're a natural 4, you can work like hell to be a 6 and only then maybe, maybe, if you're very lucky, get a 3. A 3 who knows she can dump you and find another guy like you in 30 seconds, and she'll bring the attitude that goes along with it.

Go to it! Work your ass off, while walking the tightrope between false rape accusations destroying everything you've worked for, and child support payments taking all your disposable income, turning you into nothing more than a slave, all for your chance at a 3. With an attitude.

Where does Rollo's "Hypergamy doesn't know its own level" come into play with this?

Hypergamy is a commonly discussed, yet often misunderstood concept. Women are conditioned to seek their peer value mates during young age (16-30) and then are unable to unlearn that conditioning later on.

Ya don't say.

Hey dude, it's about women trading up. If you fuck up the premise, don't be surprised if the rest of your post is also garbage

I often see people here personifying hypergamy, like it's some sort of all-controlling entity. "Hypergamy doesn't care", "Hypergamy is a bitch", etc... It always seems to me like a way of rationalizing not being at the top, and a lack of abundance mentality.

That census graph matches the SMV curve to a T !!
