Why is hypergamy bad?

wokein · 2019-02-06T00:03:04+00:00

> Hypergamy is logical for women who want to be more traditional.

This is true. I think men who think its bad just want easy sex from women who are not hypergamous

graaarg · 2019-02-06T01:03:58+00:00

It's higly benefical from an evolutive standpoint. It sucks if you are not an higly desirable men thou

Atlas_B_Shruggin · 2019-02-06T00:15:51+00:00

Thats NOT the definition of the RP term of art "hypergamy" And
Its not that hypergamy is bad per se but that it excludes vast swaths of men and leads to things MEN dont like--like branch swinging

ireadredpillonce · 2019-02-05T23:31:01+00:00

It's bad cause 9/10 21 year old blonde haired blue eye thots aren't being hypergamous for me that's why!

GridReXX · 2019-02-05T23:37:10+00:00

“Hypergamy is bad” because men don’t like it.

Kind of how “polygamy is bad” because women don’t like it.

One could pretty easily argue the utility (and detriments) of both.

NalkaNalka · 2019-02-05T23:54:33+00:00

It isn't.

Unstable nuclear families. That's pretty much the only justifiable downside.

Likely drives evolution. We’d still be squirrel monkeys without it. Could easily be.

LUClEN · 2019-02-06T02:46:56+00:00

Hypergamy is not possible for everyone. If most women want hypergamous monogamous relationships then many will inevitably end up never finding anyone since there is a finite number of elite men. They can solve this if they allow themselves to be part of an haram or be concubines/mistresses, or if they 'settle'. What man wants to be the guy she settled for? What woman wants to be one of a rich man's many whores?

It's damaging to healthy relationships as it promotes unrealistic standards. It's akin to how feminists push back against unrealistic beauty standards

Watchingculturefade · 2019-02-06T02:17:11+00:00

It’s that a lot of men feel women are mixing Feminisms idea of independence with that of hypergamy.

“You only have a woman until she can find someone better to replace you with”

Is the general idea

ForeverNandrolone · 2019-02-06T02:40:24+00:00

Hypergamy is natural, not all natural things are good.

When 80% of women sleep with 20% of men then a large majority of men are unhappy. These men are left with a lot of free time to cause trouble and generally burn down society.

Why is marriage so prevalent in societies? Almost all successful societies have marriage which counteracts hypergamy and forces people to pair up. This produces the largest number of successful individuals willing to advance society. Marriage is not good for individuals but it is good for society.

Hypergamy is good for individuals but not good for society.

shonenhikada · 2019-02-06T05:10:46+00:00

Hypergamy is a double edge sword. For women who are able, it allows them to latch onto a high, status man who will commit to her and provide her and her child a good life.

For women who do not have the RMV/SMV, hypergamy ultimately results in them losing out. In some respect, being childless for many years, miserable and when they do decide to lower their standards having to settle for lower tier men that they would not have had to in the past. In some repsect, hyper gamy is reason a lot of women end up single mothers which again has impact on society in form of more welfare, higher incidence of kid doing poorly in school, kids going on drug, girl children growing up themselves becoming single mothers, crime etc.

The problem with most women being very hypergamous in our generation is that many of them don't have the SMV/RMV to entice a high status male to commit, but their female and beta males on social media constantly tell them they are perfect 10/10 females. It does not help also that many high status men are willing to sleep and date them short term in exchange for steady supply of sex. Thus, these women really do believe they are higher than they actually are; 5/10 female thinks she is a 7/10 and thanks to hyper-gamy wants at least a 7/10 to date her.

superioritycompl3x · 2019-02-06T05:15:09+00:00

Have you ever seen a mammal species where the males have to literally fight tooth and nail to prove they are alpha enough to breed with a female? When females are fertile the males tear each other to shreds for the chance to rut her. Many die, a few succeed and the “reward” is 10 seconds of disinterested starfishing from her.

The male of the species spends its entire existence training and martialing strength for this one disappointing, often fatal experience. He develops plumage and “game” and other gay shit while the females are identical vapid turd colored nobodies who have to exert precisely zero effort and arent even good in bed. And some year, some young buck comes along and gives him a wound that will fester and kill him slow.

Thats what unrestricted hypergamy does to a species

flamingoinghome · 2019-02-06T06:30:56+00:00

Tbh, I'm increasingly convinced that it's less a question of "hypergamy" among women as a lot of men, especially in the manosphere, are hypogamous, on everything but looks. They want a woman hotter than them, but otherwise less successful/powerful/etc. Look at the discourse on "career women"; look at the visible anxiety when someone hints that men might care about their woman's status; look at the tendency of SAHDs to cheat. I know, I know, It Must Be the Woman's Fault, but come on. A lot of the time, it's not that women want a partner who's superior; it's that men want someone who's inferior.

daveofmars · 2019-02-06T00:06:54+00:00

Because the vast majority of women fight for the slim minority of elite men. This leaves the vast majority of average men with no one, which causes them to work less because they don't have a family, check out of society, or simply burn the place down.

Everyone's so afraid of the alt right and neo nazis these days, but if those particular men had a girlfriend and a steady job then they'd focus on that instead of politics.

LillthOfBabylon · 2019-02-05T23:34:44+00:00

Hypergamy is logical for women who want to be more traditional. From my experience, the more traditional and/or high value a woman is, the more hypergamous she gets.

As you notice yourself, most women don't want to be/can't afford to be traditional now, and still pursue hypergamy. So average men are losing the provider role, in other words are losing out. Or are at least confused about what role they are meant to be taking.

poppy_blu · 2019-02-06T00:15:45+00:00

So wouldnt it be Men's fault hypergamy happens?

Yep.

Especially when they prefer younger women over older women.

Hypergamy is only bad when women do it.

Hypergamy is logical for women who want to be more traditional.

Yet it's the traditionalists who seem to get the angriest over hypergamy. Figure that out one.

diffdedbed · 2019-02-06T03:40:48+00:00

Hypergamy isn't bad.

Whats bad is how fixated RP guys get on it.

The degree women express it is not a constant. If you let down your guard they aren't all just going to leap to the next branch up.

Loyalty tand love is actually a thing.

Some women can be very hypergamous, and I think especially true when younger.

but NAWATL.

thrownaway2thewind · 2019-02-05T23:51:38+00:00

I'm not going to argue that its bad, it's genetically built into their subconscious so I don't think they can help it. But I personally don't have faith in a woman's love because of this, knowing that if a higher tier provider approaches her there is a high likelyhood she'll trade up. I'm not looking at this abstractly, in fact, I've seen it happen over and over and over again to myself and others throughout the years. Hypergamy isn't bad, its just the reality we live in. Sure it would be nice to have a woman love me irrevocably based on who I am as an individual, but that's not how life was intended to be I suppose. Which is why I leave women alone personally, the expenditure of time and resources for a person that will inevitably trade up (or convince herself she needs to break up so she has a clear head when she trades up) is simply a bad deal.

Hypergamy itself is impartial, it merely makes committing to a woman a bad choice based on cost to benefits

crackrocksteady7 · 2019-02-05T23:40:36+00:00

Honestly hypergamy is much less of a problem than women making horrible decisions in terms of what they prioritize and select for

VojvodaSrpski · 2019-02-06T02:04:12+00:00

It's not bad at all, the only bad thing about it is not admitting it exists and how big of a role it plays in male to femake relations. You see, hypergamy pushes both men and women to become better versions of themselves all the time.

Stevefr0mYellowstone · 2019-02-06T05:15:09+00:00

I wouldn't say hypergamy is inherently bad. Hypergamy is human nature, tied into biology and how we evolved.

Where the problem is coming up is that more and more women are entering the work force, as the college population becomes more and more unbalanced in the favor of women, you are seeing a higher and higher percentage of women with more education and higher paying jobs. And that on its own is not a bad thing, if anything its a good thing. But when said women still have the same mentality that they will only date and marry up, they are reducing the amount of possible boyfriends/husbands. Women already find 80% of men unattractive. Cut that 20% down even further to pull out the men who aren't as educated as her, don't make as much as her, and next thing you know 0.0001% of the population is worthy. Which is simply unsustainable. That's where the problem comes up. The solution? Women have to settle more, or accept that they will likely not marry up and stay single.

It is not men's fault hypergamy happens. But I wouldn't say its women's fault, again, it is just human nature.

mistercheeez-o____O- · 2019-02-06T09:06:31+00:00

What's bad is when people fail reach a workable compromise between their instics and reality.

YetAnotherCommenter · 2019-02-06T10:13:10+00:00

Hypergamy isn't bad.

Its just a part of the human condition that causes anxiety.

We die, too. But death itself is just a fact. By itself, mortality is amoral. It simply is a thing.

Yet we angst about it all the fucking time.

I don't see why angst about hypergamy (or about male promiscuity) is any different angst about death. People complain about inconvenient aspects of the human condition.

the_calibre_cat · 2019-02-06T16:36:08+00:00

It probably isn't bad, for the collective. Sure does suck if you're not Chad, though.

N0blesse0blige · 2019-02-06T19:28:34+00:00

Hypergamy is not at all bad in and of itself. To some extent women should choose men of genetic and provisional quality to the exclusion of other men.

State-subsidised unchecked and unbalanced, rampant hypergamy is bad. Feeding into women’s hypergamic dispoition by telling them that they’re princesses

Also hypergamy needs to be addressed in the context of feminism as a supposedly egalitarian ideology. It is incredible that this ideology is still taken seriously, with its ridiculous denials of human, and especially female, nature. Who still seriously thinks that if you remove gender roles and other "class relations" then men and women will form classless and harmonic genderless utopian communities (itself a dystopian ideal even if it would happen)?

Female nature enforces, produces and reproduces social hierarchy among and between men. There certainly won’t be any egalitarian, classless "utopia" where it is unchecked.

You prove yourself to women by showing your superiority – to other men and to themselves (bigger, stronger, taller, wealthier, more intelligent, more traveled, more educated, more accomplished, more popular, more passionate, etc.) Women are acutely aware of these social hierarcies. That’s what their lives frequently revolve around, social media, and competing for the attention, resources and social status attached to these few favored men.

It is by now glaringly obvious that women do not choose the men feminism raises, educates, requests and demands boys to become. Neither does feminism ever, literally ever address women about what kind of men they should choose. This insane ideology demands for men to change so-called toxic masculinity for the benefit of women, but does absolutely nothing to encourage women to stop rewarding, enabling and maintaining that same so-called toxic masculinity in men.

Feminism and leftist economic redistribution produces a massive, growing sexual underclass of men, and they should address it or become irrelevant.

we-are-men-with-ven · 2019-02-06T22:16:13+00:00

I don't think it exists. I think the people who came up with it desperately wanted an easy explanation as to why they struggled to date.

Also it misses the point that people are all after different things. One persons trash is another persons treasure. So SMV is very subjective and not something that can be measured.

If you look on r/ladyboners you will see quite a range of looks. Dad bods, heroine chic, chubby comedians , chads, twinks and so on. In my early 20s my ideal man was noel fielding (VERY effeminate, skinny, kinda rocky guy), and now it's frankie boyle (middle aged chubby bearded Scottish man)

Also (make of this what you will) I am quite turned off my men that are huge earners. To me, a very rich man was either A) born into it (so we would have had a very different upbringing and values) or B) puts a big emphasis on money, which to me is kinda superficial.

eyewant · 2019-02-07T00:51:43+00:00

It's fine as long as we don't FUND it.

RealMcGonzo · 2019-02-09T02:37:15+00:00

I've never understood all the judgments about how men and women work. Men prefer beautiful women. Women prefer rich and tall men. None of us wake up and say "Gee, I think I'd rather be attracted to rich men."

But somehow there is some social stigma attached to basic preferences that are hard wired into our brains.

LillthOfBabylon · 2019-02-06T01:32:48+00:00

Recreational divorce bro what kinda question is that

MGTOWtoday · 2019-02-06T02:34:58+00:00

Hypergamy is not just marrying up. It’s women seeking resources from men. Women seek those resources regardless of whether she needs them or not, or even if getting those resources are destructive to her or destructive to others.

abaxeron · 2019-02-06T12:19:25+00:00

Who told you that hypergamy is bad?

more and more women are outearning their husbands:

In that five-year period, the percentage of wives earning a greater share of income increased from 13% to 16% of married couples. "Some of that has to do with the fact that men lose their jobs or are rehired into less well-paying jobs. It's not that women are earning more in an absolute sense but earning more because their mates are earning less," says historian Alice Kessler-Harris of Columbia University in New York.

The horror, 3% of married men got recessed to the shitters, me-tooed, or replaced with outsourced labor; the new age is here.

Most importantly, if a couple decides (or accidentally) has child, it's typically the mother that has to raise the child.

If women married only men with lower earning capacity, it would have been economically beneficial to leave the husband at home as soon as the kid can manage 8 hours without a tiddy.

Hypergamy is logical for women who want to be more traditional.

Traditionally, no-fault divorce didn't exist. Traditionally, it was considered part of marital duties for a wife to keep her husband's dick moisturized more often than once in five years. Traditionally, women couldn't accuse men of criminal acts through civil courts to bypass due process and gain additional leverage during divorce. Currently, what happened is - we're taking a bunch of people, we take the half that has a well-earned reputation of reduced capacity for loyalty, and we give this half the metaphorical gun of the government with safety off.

Hypergamy by itself isn't the problem, same as men's sex drive by itself isn't the problem. But, imagine for a second if we built our society from the assumption that male sex drive doesn't exist. Just imagine.

Shadow_Of_ · 2019-02-06T00:53:38+00:00

The reason I don't like hypergamy is because women don't like polygamy. If women accept polygamy I will accept hypergamy.

Five_Decades · 2019-02-06T01:40:16+00:00

From an evolutionary POV its not bad.

The problem is that it seems a lot of women want the best of both monogamy and polygamy, and its not possible.

A medium value woman can have a medium value man all to herself, or she can share a high value man with multiple other medium value women. She can't get a high value man to herself.

If women who are 5s and 6s want monogamy with men who are 8s and 9s, it'll never happen.

Also, from a societal POV, women aren't hypergamous about the right things. If we were living in Africa before technology then yeah, going after the good looking bad boy would make sense.

But we live in a modern technocracy. Women pursuing their hypergamous agenda just creates a real life idiocracy in a lot of ways. When women pursue high SMV men who are intelligent, educated and financially successful those men use birth control. When women pursue high SMV men who are unstable, good looking criminals, those men do not use birth control.

It's not bad per se. Knock yourself out!

If a woman can land the high value guy she wants, more power to her, LOL.

Just don't come crying "Where are all the good men?" after riding the cock carousel and getting pumped and dumped by Chads and bad boys.

Workaholico · 2019-02-06T11:12:16+00:00

Hypergamy: The action of marrying a person of a superior caste or class.

This is the Indian definition of hypergamy, a concept, translated from Hindu culture that is thousands of years old. You probably got it from wikipedia. But wikipedia does not accept any definition of the manosphere except by the feminist approach. There is some universities which have organized groups on that, The manosphere gave up trying to correcting it around 2010 I think. Which lead to articles such as the one you read or the one about any group in the manosphere. Full of misrepresentations or lack of information

In TRP hypergamy is more related to the desire of most women to focus on the men of higher sexual/relationship/economic market values. which are normally the top fifth of men. They also have a desire to get up and up, usually using men as steps. Also, If a man somehow decreases or maintains his value. She loses interest.

You can see that both constructs are related but not the same.

I hear people complain that "hypergamy is out of control not" but more and more women are outearning their husbands:

I would recommend reading the link. It says that women which earn more than their husbands is only 16% of women, not even close to the half. This is no proof that women as a group do not want higher valued men. Also, divorce is a thing, and to not have a down time in your life is hard.

Also, men pursue women more than women pursue men. So wouldnt it be Men's fault hypergamy happens? Especially when they prefer younger women over older women.

More like it is the top 20% of men and the top 80% of women's fault. The rest receive little to no attention, so their preferences do not matter. Why would men preferring younger women a factor here? It is a fact for most men regardless of market value. At best it turns yonger women more prone to be hypergamous, but older women don't seen any less hypergamous either.

Most importantly, if a couple decides (or accidentally) has child, it's typically the mother that has to raise the child. Hence, she'll spend less time at work. Someone has to be the one to make up for loss income.

Yes. Women will force men into working more instead of spending less, what about it?

Hypergamy is logical for women who want to be more traditional. From my experience, the more traditional and/or high value a woman is, the more hypergamous she gets.

Hypergamy is a group thing. All women, regardless of political, economic or social status, behave like that. It makes sense. It is the easiest way to get by life. That is the whole point.

AllahHatesFags · 2019-02-06T14:20:59+00:00

Women marrying up isn't bad in and of itself. The problems come when women are always thinking they deserve a 9 when they are a 4 or that they can do better than the guy they already married.

Anthony1881 · 2019-02-06T17:41:10+00:00

Marrying up is different that sleeping around and I think the difficultly with hypergamy is that hyper= excess gamy=sperm like aquiring spem from several insemenators is what the word would mean aside from the prevalent double speak of our times....

BuzzLightGear321 · 2019-02-06T21:28:40+00:00

It's bad because if she gets knocked up by bad boy Chad that is in and out of prison, I have to pay welfare to support her bad life choices.

BernieSandersgirl101 · 2019-02-12T15:51:20+00:00

It's not that hypergamy is bad. It's that there are a lot of 4/10 women who demand 10/10 men. I'm hypergamous, I admit it. I'm pretty traditional, but I try to lessen it. Honestly, a woman who demands tall is stupid. Tall shouldn't be valued. How can you control that?!

francismonwe · 2019-06-15T21:37:00+00:00

It's only bad because it encourages selfishness and narcissism. Now a days I see unattractive girls acting like they are entitled to everything, including the best looking guy, just because they have a Virginia in between their legs and guys around them are generally thirsty. On average, the girls around me are 5-7/10, but they go for guys who are better looking than them. Of course this practice backfires because the attractive guys treat them like complete shit. This worst part of all is living day-by-day, knowing a guy like myself will never be able to treat a girl in such a manner without completely ruining my relationship with her just because of my appearance. I've also realized the reasoning behind this practice is to make other girls jealous or increase their own status. After realizing this aspect of female nature, I have lost all hope in humanity.

whatyoucallaflip · 2019-02-05T23:34:56+00:00

I think a lot of the "bad" (and the point is not so much that it's bad but rather that it's a reality that needs to be kept in mind)

comes from the Alpha Fucks Beta Bucks thing.

Girl in her younger years goes out and has short term flings with attractive men who aren't necessarily stable (it's been studied that women have higher attractiveness standards for casual sex)

Then, as girl's looks decline, she cashes in on a stable high earner she's probably not as sexually attracted to as the previous flings.

Facebook COO and hypergamy enthusiast Sheryl Sandberg really leaned in on this idea when she said

When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them. The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.

Why would you ever want to be the latter guy? Why would you ever want to be a girl's insurance policy after she's had all her fun?

Unless you have literally no other choice. I mean maybe that is the best case scenario for some men. But otherwise, it's alpha fucked to be an end stage provider.

lehappyjuice · 2019-02-06T01:33:13+00:00

Why is bad? Are u fu***** kidding me?

Hypergamy and the nature of the female sexuality is TOTALLY INCOMPATIBLE with the wellbeing, prosperity and construction of any kind of advanced society and civilization.

It's a reliq from a very very ancient time where this toxic and evil sexuality was for some reason the best mating strategy for the species.

You just have to ask yourself some questions. Why every advanced culture tamed and controlled the female sexuality? Why every ancient book, religion, great thinker you name it in the human history has always portrayed the females and their behaviour as the pure root of evil or even associating women with the evil itself? And don't come at me with muh patriarchal bullshit.

equanimous_samsara · 2019-02-06T05:33:17+00:00

Pope_Lucious · 2019-02-06T00:43:38+00:00

Either of the sexual imperatives, if left unchecked, will lead to undesirable social outcomes. Currently the male shadow is in focus, with the female shadow being ignored.

Hypergamy isn’t “bad” anymore than any other macro phenomena, however It’s proliferation at the expense of other agendas may prove maladaptive for Civilization. We’ll see.

ifelsedowhile · 2019-02-06T01:34:00+00:00

typical BP tripe: 40% of women breadwinners are either single mother households or umarried women in non stable relationships. The number of breadwinner wives rose slightly from 13% to 16% due to extreme circumstances aka recession because I doubt women would normally put up on a long term with a husband they outearn. It's more of a temporary situation due to dire conditions. The idea that women are giving up en masse their hypergamous preferences is yet to be demonstrated. All you BP bozos have is just distorted figures and propaganda. You can repeat the same BS over and over like a broken tape recorder but it won't become true.

Jackpot807 · 2019-02-06T01:33:24+00:00

You just said that hypergamy is logical for women who want to be more traditional.

Let that sink in for a minute. You're clearly just trying to justify it.

TheBookOfSeil · 2019-02-06T01:42:59+00:00

Hypergamy is “bad” because it assesses people’s (men’s) value, and the idea that some people are “more valuable” than others is..... hurtful, for lack of a better word.

The phrase “people are only valued for what they can provide you” may be true, but nobody wants to be reduced to what someone can obtain from them.

mgtow_1 · 2019-02-06T07:27:08+00:00

Nothing wrong with hypergamy. The problem is feminism has fought to remove as many checks and balances that once existed in society. We are now left with a society that basically says women and anything they want is good, men and anything they want that does not appease the female strategy is bad.

Eastuss · 2019-02-06T08:51:13+00:00

Nothing is universally bad about hypergamy.

Hypergamy is bad for men's incentives.

Unbalance between sexual power and unchecked hypergamy is bad for society's incentives.

Also, men pursue women more than women pursue men. So wouldnt it be Men's fault hypergamy happens? Especially when they prefer younger women over older women.

It's both men and women's fault for having different incentives. The distance between two points can increase or decrease, they move equally from each other, the fact you think one move and not the other means you took a referential, and that referential just makes no sense. Here you are voluntarily saying that it's abnormal that men pursue women more than the contrary. I could pick my own referential and say it's abnormal women aren't pursuing men as much as men. It doesn't make sense.

Most importantly, if a couple decides (or accidentally) has child, it's typically the mother that has to raise the child. Hence, she'll spend less time at work. Someone has to be the one to make up for loss income.

There's a difference between work load and status. I don't think nowadays the difference in how much men take care of their kid compared to women is so high.

Firstly, you are arguing against your own strawman a bit as atlas says. It's a weakness on the blue position and one if like to see disappear in the name of better debate.

However even against the strawman - it's pretty obvious that no one likes gold diggers right?

Now onto the RP version. It's bad for two reasons:

On the societal level it encourages a raft of bad behaviour. Men are encouraged to be dishonest, women are prone to overreaching their potential and end up getting repeatedly pump n dumped. This is arguably not an issue in school or college - unless you think forming strong relationships is important - but when you get into adulthood it is a problem because it encourages prolonged adolescence and the destruction of positive environments in which to raise children.

On the individual level it's bad because men can find their cap and be traded in despite having done everything in their power. The top men can also freely take advantage of it to unsettle wives for little more than a few quick bangs before leaving the marriage in tatters.

It's also anti equality. Economically women can get their own money but seek out richer men and otherwise are really just moving goalposts with regards to looks. If their man isn't looksmatched they can easily help improve him and if he is then why isn't she still attracted to him?

Have a good one.

100 women going for the same guy instead of just dating their looks match. I wonder how this will negatively impact society /s

Most men don't expect a 8-10/10 girl. Most men are forced to date down. Most of these women end up alone because their standards are too high. Men end up alone cause they can't meet ridiculous criteria made up by the modern western female.

Hypergamy is bad in its present state because a woman who is Alpha Widowed can tell her feminist friends, who then can sincerely use this as research in their book on toxic masculinity or their blog (or yellow journalism), which informs campus, then city and finally state policy on how a man interacts with a woman. Women can also blame the omega nerds for the consequences of their Alpha Widowing. This is a classic example of making the personal political. Compare this to men who argue that a woman leaving them is a reason to bring back coverture law and repeal the 19th.

It's pretty shallow and shitty to specifically pick your mate based on status.
