Our throwaway culture can be considered a natural extend of hypergamy, just hypergamy extended to absolutely everything in life. I don't know how many of you feel about DIY and recycling things; in a "; finding a new purpose for old objects that are broken, etc; but from what I've seen, only a few men tinker with "dead objects". While all men are certainly not perfect when it comes to this, because of the similarities between a throwaway culture and hypergamy, it could be argued that a large part of our world's problem are caused by a society which, looking for an easy way to do things, adopted hypergamy thinking everywhere.

With social media and tinder, women have a high tendency to discard the old thing and look for something new. While this can also happen for men, it usually doesn't without an external stimulus leading to this, or if the cost/gain analysis itself is objectively bad. As the comment above said, because women are supposed to be the "gatekeeper", and because of the traditional role of the male in courtship, they have more than enough power to help solve and "repair" things, but they never do it. If a friendship with a female is broken, you can be sure that, unless you're her last option and she needs you for something, she will not be the one to make the first step to fix things. Not unless she still has something to gain from it. Her having feelings for the man, the man being a good entertainer, her needing moral support and the man being the only person really able to provide it in the way she wants, whatever. Anything. A female making the first step will only happen if there is something to gain from it; which creates a sharp contrast with men wanting to solve things because "things must make sense". Therefore, repairing a social relationship in a way that goes against their "immediate feelings" is nonsense for them; for a female, something being ""broken"" is absolute, no matter how stupid the context is.
