Why? Because, it's not your love or respect or thoughtfulness towards your gal that will attain and keep her heart, (although it certainly doesn't hurt). Its actually your physical looks, your income, your hobbies and skills at them, your social circle(s), your power and of course your net worth.

Your 'value' is proportional to the strength of her love. When the chips are good we as a society like to pretend that it's marketing concepts like love that binds us... which is fun and socially acceptable...

But knowing the truth is far more valuable to a man, because it can help him shape his every decision, it can help him really feel the need to change, to do the time in the gym, to build that career, to save those $$$s etc etc. Failure to be a valuable man, could result in the girl he falls in love with or girl he desires getting banged by some powerful asshole instead. It can result in heartbreak and disrepect that can truly affect the core of a man. This should be taken seriously.

If a guy thinks he can win a girl (and keep her) over with romance alone, he's simply a fool on a trajectory to heart break... or likely to fall in to friend zone or worse stalker zone. This can lead to resentment... and we all know there is certainly some undertones of resentment from men today from all walks of life... with knowledge it doesnt have to be this way...

If you knock her up, buy property together and/or get married then you have a social contract that will allow the guy to go into esssentially SMV debt without losing her, but its time capped, and costs interest. If the interest cannot be repaid in time, he will lose her love.

Hypergamy is a basic rule of human nature, and it applies to basically all women.

Anyway...I'll leave you all with this definition of Hypergamy from Urban Dictionary which I found to be quite accurate:

"Evolutionary Psychology theory on the instinctual desire of humans of the female sex to discard a current mate when the opportunity arises to latch onto a subsequent mate of higher status due to the hindbrain impetus to find a male with the best ability to provide for her OWN offspring (already spawned or yet-to-be spawned) regardless of investments and commitments made to a current mate.

As societal impediments (both economic and cultural) to the recission of binding monogamous relationships deteriorate, the validity of this theory is being rediscovered to the chagrin of men in the trenches and to the delight of the new social engineers up in the towers.

akin to the notion of "serial monogamy" acknowledged by mainstream culture. Hypergamy is a savage natural instinct that finds social acceptance when many other such instincts such as polygamy do not."

Anyway, this rant was really just a little reminder for you young men amongst us here to really take serious note of what this situation means if you are in love, ever plan to be or by chance fall in love with a beautiful women...

Unless you're SMV is greater than hers, you have no guarantees of loyalty. It sucks, but you should focus on things you can control!

And for those studying for a degree or other skill set... this... is WHY YOU STUDY HARD.

Have a great weekend!
