I've often wondered how often women act on their hypergamy. My only reference points are my personal experience, and those I read online and on RP subreddits. The RP subs are a microchasm of RedPill truths confirmed, and basing ones opinion solely off that would make anyone assume women are swinging between trees every few months. In my own personal experience, almost no one I know has been the victim of hypergamy.

I've come to the conclusion that hypergamy is real, but its not acted upon nearly as much as RP insinuates that it is. It might be the case that 18-24 year olds are more likely to act upon it, but the % that does after 25 probably drops off as women try to settle. Other factors that encourage acting on hypergamy might include how attractive the woman is or how social she is.

Take my friends now wife of 4 years, known for 6. From 14-24 his wife was a partier. Molested by daddy, she spent her teen years partying with her older sisters, fucking guys and dating drug dealers, becoming addicted to coke. Details about this period in her life are sparse (obviously), but we can safely assume she probably did some shameless shit for her fix. She as notorious in the local hard drug scene for getting wasted out her mind and then getting spitroasted by 4 guys, then crying about it after. At 23 her and her mom found Jesus, and I don't know which denomination she went to but she emerged "reformed" and suddenly turned into a model christian, whom was "saving herself for marriage". Along comes my buddy, and they begin dating. All of us friends made fun of him from time to time for dating someone who had no problem putting out to drug dealers and FWB chads, but not him because "pure". Her mental hamstering in the belief her virginity was reclaimable was pure fantasy. 2 years later they were married. When asked why he was going ahead with it, he responded "she wants it, and it will make her happy" (typical beta response). The others didn't say much, however I heavily criticized him. I told him he could cite any reason he wanted to, but that I believed a major part of his decision was to get a piece of pussy. No one, myself included, was invited to his wedding.

​

Anyways, according to what i've read on RP, their marriage was doomed to fail. However things seem fine. They have a child together with another one on the way. She plays the innocent mature christian goodgirl housewife (the kind that says "ewww you sickos!" when you mention anything sexual), doesn't have any friends, and seemingly is a good mom. I mean yeah there's that one time she came on to me and our other friend separately in the same night (Her directly telling her husband she wanted our friend to walk her home).

I've never been connected to anyone personally who has been cheated on or broken up with for reasons of "trading up" to a hotter, buffer or wealthier man. What about you? How often do you think hypergamy is acted on in the real, day to day life of most people? I'm not talking about the club scene in LA.
