Given that it's THE CORE of TRP philosophy, and we're constantly debating a 'moving target' here, please spell it out clearly:

what is Hypergamy?

Here's how Rollo defines it:

“Hypergamy is a selected-for survival mechanism.”

Hypergamy always seeks an optimization of either side of the AFBB motives that is better than any individual woman’s attractiveness realistically warrants."

What? Wouldn't that be bred out of women in about 2 seconds, if we're using BIOTRUFS? How exactly are all these women scoring 1-2 points above their SMV?

  • THE TEEN YEARS

Between the ages of 15 and 25 women associate and prioritize men according to their physical features. Even a relatively introverted guy with a Beta mindset and/or a brooding ‘creative’ personality can still be considered Alpha if his physical presence meets a girl’s archetypal attraction profile.

What? So teen girls go for the emo kids because they have good bodies?? SRSLY? Notice the complete lack of sources!! Rational, Indeed.

  • THE BREAK

she’s forced into a conflict between continuing a monogamous relationship she began in her teenage years, and severing it as college or a simple want for ‘freedom’ looms close

he blames hypergamy for women ditching their high school boyfriends upon entering college. Lol. Guess women should just marry their high school BFs. TheTradConMale.

  • THE PARTY YEARS

It’s during the party years that women begin to prefer ‘dating’ men older than themselves. Generally this is between a 5-7 year difference

During the party years, hypergamy is still firmly rooted in physical attraction / short term mating cues

WHAT THE HELL!? DON'T CONTRADICT YOURSELF IMMEDIATELY PLZ ROLLO! Oh yea, and 30 seconds of research proved this wrong. Oh so RATIONAL.

*Females prefer to marry @ 25.4 years old, and prefer a mate 3.4 years older than themselves

  • The Epiphany Phase

the years between 28 and 30, where she makes attempts to reassess the last decade of her life

Yea, like, growing up? Oh, he just means she suddenly lost all her SMV and wants to lockdown a beta. Ignoring the fact that women marry (average) 25.8 years as cited above. Ignoring that men are still thirsty AF at 28-30!

Here's a feminist talking about it.

"here is something about being a 28-year-old woman, especially in an urban area, that makes them flip the switch from party girl to marriage material that often has nothing to do with a ticking biological clock."

“Okay, you’re 27, you’ve got three good years left.”

So.... the 'post-Wall' and 'Epiphany' phase are nothing new, or particularly enlightening. Women have been aware / writing about this forever!

and Here he is lamenting that men can't beat their wives for cheating, or something:

Up until the rise of feminine social primacy, men have always had social, moral, ethical and yes, physical, means of exerting their own control over Hypergamy.

Let's end on some poetry. Rollo has an artistic side, who knew!

HYPERGAMY DOESN’T CARE,.. (Rollo, 2012)

(check out his long list of covert contracts! wow! so red pill!)

Anyway, enough about the 'Rational' male, how do you 'rational' men define Hypergamy?
