Definition - AWALT:

  1. The vast majority of women date up (either in social status, looks, game, money, from what they are able to provide to themselves)

  2. Women are aroused by looks, status, and game.

  3. Women are comforted by money, physical affection, and someone resolving issues in their lives.

  4. Women need both comfort and affection.

  5. If a given person once was able to provide those things and is no longer able, they are either hated or left.

Alright, now that we have definitions out of the way, I believe this is a feature of women, not a bug. With this knowledge in hand, you know how to deal romantically with the women in your life, rather than randomly guessing how they are. It's, frankly, a good thing.
