[SERIOUS QUESTION] Is hypergamy real?

Of course it's real.

There's nothing "wrong" with it, it just is. The important thing is it be socialized.

It's not like men don't try and take the best they can get if available, it's that there's this fantasy that women aren't that way.

Without question, but the context is important. Everyone is trying to marry the most attractive person they can (however they define attractive)

In that area men and women are no different.

Complaints about hypergamy are really complaints by men about how much more effective women are.

Reverse the dynamics and women start acting like thirsty men, and men start acting like women.

Crazy right? nope

The hypergamy power imbalance inverts as you get into the top % of men, and women hate it. see: fuckboys. However you define fuckboy, that complaint is about this imbalance imo.

Its not all roses for women though, if a person of either gender has a warped idea oh where they stand, misery will result. the thirst spectacularly sets the stage for that.

No, women are just as hot for the guy who works at the car wash as they are doctors and lawyers.

It's a biological fact and it's true cross-culturally. What percentage of women marry down in height, income or social status? Now what percentage of men do the same?

Yes.

But there are quite a few men who seem to get caught up in the idea that hypergamy is basically the start and end of the discussion when it comes to female behavior. I consider the dual-mating paradigm (AF/BB) to be no less important, for example. Hypergamy may exist within each component AF and BB, but an AF can have potentially zero worth as a provider of resources, and a BB zero worth as a provider of sexual validation and genetic material.

There's also the uncomfortable truth that another here has pointed out, and which I have pointed out to much criticism from MGTOW in the past, that men with options will pursue and upgrade to higher value (read: younger/more attractive) women too. The difference in perception is a function of the inherent inequity in the sexual marketplace: "men with options" and "women with options" describe hugely different sized pools.

Yes it's real. And I'd say we are in for another 25 years of it getting worse until a critical mass if men become aware to how it really works.

Look at the mass media messages of late, we are 2 decades in with the hypersexuality of teenagers. We now have major movie studios promoting stories of how a woman can pick herself up by the g string. And how she can wife someone up at 35 and start that family....

If enough men opt out and decide buying that depreciating asset is not worth it we will see a flip. If the long game of marriage is off the table things are much more honest in relationships. It's as if women will actually have to keep trying. The old meme about a katen chopping its hair off and taking off the girdle after the honeymoon is still true.

Science says yes.

'Male version' of hypergamy, is having a harem/polygamy/mistress/concubine (sugar baby); keep in mind this isn't as glorified as hypergamy, and men that engage in such acts must 'try' to keep it on the down low and not publicize it.

The point is, the divorce/family court system rewards hypergamy/monkey branching.

Yes, but probably over-hyped as a problem, it is a problem, just not say a "pandemic".
