This is something I recently just discovered about myself and I think it’s worth sharing given the nature of a lot of comments in the sub. I see a lot of people talking about how female hypergamy needs to stop and women need to go for guys “on their level.” But it’s like you guys fail to realize that hypergamy isn’t an active choice but rather natural instinct.

Obviously not speaking for all women, but me and a lot of others are submissive. Simply put, why would I submit to someone who is equal or lesser than me? By definition you cannot submit to someone who is less than your superior. If I perceive you as my equal I would have no reason to submit to you.

With this in mind, even if women were somehow able to stop this and go after guys that were on their level, these men would never receive the degree of affection I assume they want. When I was dating men I perceived either subconsciously or consciously to be lesser than me, the relationship was always strained for lack of a better word, because being unable to submit made me unhappy overall.

The only real solution is for men to just improve or attempt to do so.

Edit: I’m not demanding men change I’m just saying if you want to improve your sex life that’s what you should do
