No. Women aren’t delusional. They just are hypergamous and go for men at the top. Men who cry about it so so because they aren’t at the top. I would do the same thing if I were a woman.
Women should be hypergamous. Men should be polyamorous. If a man doesn't want his woman to be hypergamous, he should up his game (become richer). If a woman does want her man to be polyamorous, she should up her game (become hotter).
If a woman is able to get a HVM, him being horny shouldn't be a problem. It's a problem with he's a low value man or the woman is a feminist. I'd argue only 1% of horny men are doing fine. That's the 1% which are HVM.
