In this post, we’ll unpack all you need to know about Female Hypergamy within the context of intersexual dynamics, defining exactly what it is, its evolutionary role, how to leverage it and more.
What Is Hypergamy?
Hypergamy is a term often used within Red Pill communities to describe the female strategic romantic preference for men of higher social, economic or educational status.
More generally, when it comes to romantic relationships, women desire to partner with the most competent man that they themselves can possibly attract.
A Two-Sided Equation
Hypergamy is a two-sided equation that consists of short-term reproductive benefits (genes) such as physical attractiveness and long-term survival benefits (security) such as recourses. Ideally, this balance would be found in one man. In reality, however, it rarely is.
What Is An Example Of Hypergamy?
An example of hypergamy would be a woman from a lower-class family who marries into a middle-class family. As a result, the woman’s social class would change from lower class to middle class because of her marriage.
The Evolutionary Perspective
From an evolutionary perspective, women evolved for Hypergamy for a specific reason. Men who were of higher social, economic or educational status were perceived as more capable at maximising the fitness of both the woman and any future potential offspring.
How Men Can Leverage Hypergamy
Hypergamy is based on doubt which unceasingly asks one question: “Is this the best I can do?” Thus, a woman is always comparing her options ― real or imagined. Therefore, there are two keys for men to leverage Hypergamy.
The first key to leveraging Hypergamy is to become a High Value Man. There are three core pillars that form the foundation of a High Value Man. Physique which indicates a man’s ability to protect. Recourses which indicates a man’s ability to provide. Status which indicates a man’s ability to influence.
The second key to leveraging Hypergamy is to embrace the Masculine Burden Of Performance. A man must unceasingly grow in his masculine prowess by developing and then demonstrating the skills necessary to provide a quality life for himself and those around him.
Progress equals happiness. Thus, in the pursuit of becoming a High Value Man and embracing the Masculine Burden Of Performance, not only does a man enhance his self-esteem, but he feels the deepest sense of fulfilment.
Summary (TL;DR)
Hypergamy describes the female strategic romantic preference for men of a higher social, economic or educational status. Evolutionarily, this preference evolved because such men were perceived as more capable of maximising the fitness of women and any potential future offspring.
There are two keys for men to leverage Hypergamy. Firstly, by becoming a High Value Man. Secondly, by embracing the Masculine Burden Of Performance. In doing so, not only do men enhance their self-esteem, but they feel the deepest sense of fulfilment.
