Red pill and hypergamy in men?

Not. 60+% of divorces are initiated by women, even in the 50+ age group.

Taken together, this data soundly disproves the apex fallacy regarding divorce. The common belief that divorce rates are driven by men discarding older wives for a younger model simply doesn’t fit with the data. This is reinforced when you consider that the AARP found that 66% of the divorces in middle age were initiated by women (figure 2 on page 15). This fits with the historical trends of women of all ages initiating divorce, as shown in page 3 of this paper. Even in middle age women are still the ones driving divorce rates. The myth of the unloyal husband dumping his hapless wife once he feels it is to his advantage is generally just that (a myth). This won’t stop women from pointing over and over again to the rare case they know of in the media or in person where this has occurred, but in the scheme of things this is clearly an outlier. Across age ranges divorce is being driven by women, and the likelihood of a couple divorcing in any given year tracks very strongly with whether the wife feels it would be to her advantage not to keep her promise.

And when is it in the woman's best interest to divorce?

Our results are consistent with our hypothesis that filing behavior is driven by self-interest at the time of divorce. Individuals file for divorce when there are marital assets that may be appropriated through divorce, as in the case of leaving when they have received the benefit of educational investments such as advanced degrees. However, individuals may also file when they are being exploited within the marriage, as when the other party commits a major violation of the marriage contract, such as cruelty. Interestingly, though, cruelty amounts to only 6% of all divorce filings in Virginia.5. We have found that who gets the children is by far the most important component in deciding who files for divorce, particularly when there is little quarrel about property, as when the separation is long.

Oh, and by the way, women get custody 89% of the time; 91% of child support is paid to women.

Women don't need the red pill, they are fully fucking aware of our version of hypergamy.

Makeup, pushup bras, high heels, botox, plastic surgery, hair dyes, and a thousand others things all designed to increase their beauty and it's values longevity.

They spend almost every second of their free time discussing ways they can increase their attractiveness and prevent looking older.

Notice how they are NEVER shamed for any of this in our society, but a man learning game and increasing his attractiveness to women is considered pathetic and pua's are the scum of the earth.

Don't fall for it men, it's more pysch manipulation tactics from women to decrease your value, increase theirs, and throw you off the scent of the truth that their SMV has a temporary lifespan.

Edit: Makeup is a 230 billion dollar industry according to forbes.com. It has ONE function. Increase attractiveness/look younger. PUA/Game industry is not even a blip on the radar.

But men have our version of hypergamy too. We always want younger, hotter women. This leads to the successful 45 year old guy with the "trophy wife", and the bitter ex wife

How does this fit into the red pill philosophy?

only when husband dumps a wife for a younger woman he is taken to cleaners

when wife dumps a husband for a better man he is taken to cleaners as well

Maybe this is just from my own perspective and experience but i genuinely believe men can have romantic feelings towards several women at once with the same magnitude. This makes sense since men can be liberal with our genetic material. Women on the other hand I feel can only have eyes for one man, the guy in her life is in the spotlight until he's dethroned. they need to be more selective with their genetic offspring. When men cheat they can still be enamored by their partner and still be very attracted to them. Women on the other hand gradually form disdain and contempt for their partner if they're getting Dick on the side. That's why women initiate more divorces. Cheating is fairly equal across the board for both genders, but only one gender picks up and moves on

That's the difference between polygamy and hypergamy.
