'''Hypergamy''' is the natural inclination for women to "[[branchswinging|trade up]]" in terms of [[LMS|looks, money, and/or status]]. In the scientific literature, the term refers to economic status only, but in the [[manosphere]], the term is used more broadly regarding dating up in ''all'' status dimensions relevant for mating (social status, educational status, looks etc.). The combination of our [[misandry|misandrist]] society, with [[neoliberalism|liberated female sexuality]],[[sexual selector|women naturally being sexual selectors]] and women having less desire for variety than men, creates a situation where women start rejecting vast amounts of men. [[Marriage]], monogamy, and other forms of arranged partnerships were possibly, in part, culturally evolved [[Egalitarianism|egalitarian]] adaptations for counteracting hypergamy. | '''Hypergamy''' is the natural inclination for women to "[[branchswinging|trade up]]" in terms of [[LMS|looks, money, and/or status]].

Women are constantly calculating whether the gains from a new [[relationship]] will off-set the losses of leaving an old one, and constantly analyzing the value of their partners relative to the available pool of men. Women judge social expectations as a cost when leaving a partner. Modern society ceased to ostracize promiscuity, so women are more likely to [[Marriage#Move Toward Polyamory with Rise in Divorce|jump ship when ready]]. | Women are constantly calculating whether the gains from a new [[relationship]] will off-set the losses of leaving an old one, and constantly analyzing the value of their partners relative to the available pool of men.
