I come from India.Here hypergamy is controlled by society.Its fading away now.I am in a very low tier college.Most of the kids here come from low income and a small town background. Basically many girls get married at 21-24 and are happy with it.Very traditional stuff. That being said the girls are really sweet and have no attitude,ego etc.Nice people.

The more modern girls of my country seems to have very high standards.

I notice many of the parents of there modern girls were absent or beta(father's mostly)

The more townish girls had a strong father figure who supported the whole family works on agriculture or something else.Their mom usually was at home taking care of things.Again traditional.

Does this have some effect?
