'''Hypergamy''' | '''Hypergamy''' means to '''marry up''' or '''date up'''. | ||
In the scientific literature, the term mostly refers to dating up in socioeconomic status, but in the [[manosphere]], the term is used more broadly, e.g. regarding physical attractiveness, and also refers to an hypothetical primal instinct in women about securing access to resources from men and avoiding inferior men. | |||
