Women's power and hypergamy

"Language is the locus of social change."

Yup. That would be a great reason to excise " 'gina tingle " from your vocabulary if you want people to accept you as a serious thinker on social issues, instead of yet another misogynist with a blog.

If you're reading this, Paul Elam: while I'm not a fan of evopsych in general, I don't think you're yet another misogynist with a blog. "A Prayer For Jo Bob" was one of the first men's-rights pieces I ever read, and it made me want to read more. We may have many areas of disagreement, but I don't think you deserve to be classed with the men-who-hate-women, so it's really bothersome to hear you use the language of that group.)

I don't see hypergamy as a problem or males as the "victims".

The best men should have access to the best/most women.

I see successful men always attracted to hot women. If alpha males are in such demand, and can choose any women they want, why do they always choose the hot ones? Men have an equal say in the women they choose, so there is no way they can be "victims".

Also think it is funny that all these dudes complaining of hypergamy are also promoting the purist form of hypergamy which is using prostitutes or dating/marrying poor women from oversees (gee I wonder who is going to pay the plane ticket?). Don't these dudes see the irony?

The problem I see with complaining about hypergamy is that you don't get to have an expectation of what kind of man a woman is attracted to. If a woman is attracted to money and power, so what? Men are attracted to beauty and youth.
