I was talking with a female co-worker of mine who just got out of a relationship with a guy and started to see a new one. As I havent seen her in awhile due to working in different departments I asked her how she was and in regular female fashion she starts talking about her relationships with these guys, I normally wouldnt talk to women about their relationship issues cause frankly idgaf but I listened anyways as it was break time and I couldnt get away. Anyways long story short this is what I concluded after the short conversation.

The guy that she used to date was this dude that was in upper senior management of Red Bull which gave him access to various NightClub venues and a few exotic trips here and there making roughly 120k+ living relatively comfortably. Albeit, he was overweight, balding, didnt have straight teeth, roughly 5 foot 8, hairy he wasnt like butt ugly but had more of a dad bod judging from the picture she showed me. This new guy she was seeing was like 6'2, pretty jacked and looked like this dudes brother or exact twin if only he worked out and ate healthier; almost an exact double judging from the picture she showed.

He works as a bouncer at this small club as his only source of income and does some bodybuliding stuff on the side. The girl wants to get back together with Guy #1 but said she was 'settling' for Guy #2 almost unconsciously. In my head, I was like how is that settling exactly. It appears that even if you have the body, the height and a good personality and an average/decent job girls will unconsciously think they are settling for a 'lifestyle' They will attach themselves to a man of status for the 'lifestyle' they provide but if that man is not around a man of clear genetic superiority will suffice for the time being. Unless the guy has clear genetic superiority and has money and status then well I guess it makes sense why top tier athletes get pussy so easy. I'm sure this was not a newsflash but it was just weird hearing it from the horses mouth.

TL:DR Hypergamy Strikes Again.
