I know a lot of posters here like to spout the 80/20 rule as a basis for their belief in female Hypergamy, but I'm old, I read the Spark sites where the original content creators would do science like leave meat out to rot and observe and document the process and also challenge people to eat a lot of hardboiled eggs until they barfed.

Here's the original post in all it's glory.

And I remember reading that original OkCupid blog post that detailed how many messages users receive based on their attractiveness rating and it directly contradicts everything that male posters like to claim about female hypergamy and makes a case for the opposite being true.

Men overwhelmingly choose to message the top 20% of women over anyone else.

For women looksmatching is optimal mate choice. Even though they think men look ugly, they still message them.

Attractive women get up to 25x more messages in their inboxes compared to average women. Attractive men still receive a lot of messages 10x more on average. But either way, the proof of male hypergamy is evident.
