| Hypergamy is the natural inclination for women to "[[branchswinging|trade up]]" in terms of [[LMS|looks, money, or status]]. There is a host of evidence that women are much more choosy maters. For example, average women receive 20 times as many matches as average men on Tinder<ref>Gareth Tyson, Vasile C. Perta, Hamed Haddadi, Michael C.

| One particular UCLA study states that, “a great deal of the evidence indicates two overlapping suites of psychological adaptations in women: those for securing [[long-term relationship|long-term]], cooperative social partnerships for rearing children and those for pursuing a [[strategic pluralism|dual-mating strategy]] in which women secure a social partner and engage in selective sexual affairs to gain access to genes [that are more in line with natural sexual desires] for offspring”.<ref>http://pillse.bol.ucla.edu/Publications/Pillsworth&Haselton_ARSR.pdf</ref>

| Women men who are in relationships more attractive than single men.<ref>http://digital.library.okstate.edu/etd/umi-okstate-2649.pdf</ref><ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022103109001048?via%3Dihub</ref><ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1660608/</ref> Heterosexual women's natural sexual proclivities are also a catch-22. The woman naturally highly prefers a pre-selected partner (more than men), but selected men are by definition taken. The female is naturally inclined to spend her pre-child years rejecting men who aren't highly desired by other women. Once she wants to have children, there is also an incentive to keep a non-selected man around. In this situation, she has sex with unattainable men in her more fertile years and later uses less selected men to raise the child or children of the men she slept with when she is less fertile. Her strong desire for men selected by other women often overrides her loyalty to the less selected men that are kept around for children. In societies which don't spend enough effort on preventing these natural sexual desires to realize themselves, she chooses the genes from men selected by other women and later the parental investment from a more loyal male. | | The top 5-20% of men (ie.

| The men who are selected by other women have historically been and are currently more masculine than men who are not selected by other women. As a result, women prefer masculine men during ovulation<ref>https://www.livescience.com/8779-fertile-women-manly-men.html</ref>. Fertile women are more likely to choose a masculine man <ref>https://www.livescience.com/8779-fertile-women-manly-men.html</ref>. Even when a less attractive male invests considerably into a partnership, the inclination to cheat to acquire the genes of selected men exists. <ref>https://www.ehbonline.org/article/S1090-5138(05)00093-0/fulltext</ref>
