A classic TRP case study. Woman with inflated sense of SMV latches onto an alpha and is then shocked to discover he's getting pussy on the side. His infidelity makes him that much more of a winner in her mind; even post break-up, she can't help obsessing over him and all his attractive qualities:

I admit I'm still kind of reeling from it, and it's difficult to let go when all of my potential mates seem lackluster. I'm not actively comparing, but I haven't felt so much as a spark since him. When I do think about it, none of the guys really compare to him in terms of how attractive, intelligent, successful, and how fitting my ex was for me (sans his cheating.)

You would expect this woman to have more realistic expectations at this point, maybe find a more reliable, dependable, nice guy who isn't as likely to stick it in her bffl the moment her back is turned. But hypergamy is not so easy to shake:

The handful of men I cultivate interest in are way too good for me. I don't match up to looks, or intelligence, or wealth of the women they date. Don't get me wrong, I constantly work on self-improvement and challenge seeking. I believe in being fit, intelligent, balanced, and engaging. But some things like a big nose, thin hair, and small boobs can't be changed without surgery. I seem to be really excited by guys who are just so out of my league in so many aspects that there's no chance for me to earn their affection in return.

A few gems of bluepill advice in the comments:

Woman, you need to get a couple things straight- he wasn't good enough to be in the same gene pool as you, much less be in a relationship with you. Your worth is not dependent on a piece of trash like that. You deserve soooo much better. Go out and enjoy yourself. I know plenty of guys that like the way you describe yourself.

"You go girl! Just stay on the carousel and it'll alllll sort itself out!"

But otherwise, in terms of what men are honestly attracted to, physically, personality, etc., that varies too much to make a concept like "out of your league" not useful (unless you're attracted only to trophy-seekers which, yes, might be a problem).

"Just be yourself! A 6 can totally snag herself a 10 if she just believes!"

Needless to say, the two actual solutions to the problem (raising her value, or going for men with comparable SMV) are not espoused by anyone in the comments. This is the type of woman that should be at redpillwomen learning how to get and keep a high value man, and maybe how to reign in her hypergamous tendencies. Instead, blue pillers and white knights are feeding her either terrible advice, or meaningless feel good platitudes. And so the cycle continues...
