There is a host of evidence that women are much more choosy maters than men. For example, women receive on average 20 times as many matches as men on Tinder, which suggests men are more promiscuous.<ref>Gareth Tyson, Vasile C. Perta, Hamed Haddadi, Michael C.

and even in online dating platforms with an even sex ratio, like OkCupid one finds women receive around 8 times as many messages. But lots of evidence can also be elsewhere, for example men would much more readily agree to unsolicited invitations to sex and they less likely regret casual sex. | and even in online dating platforms with an even sex ratio, like OkCupid one finds women receive around 8 times as many messages.

[[ | Women's [[hypergamy]] is their tendency or preference to ''date up'' and it is a particular expression of female choosiness. Namely, a woman tends to not only want a good partner, but one who is better than herself or better than other available partners or her current partner. For example, women with higher income tend to have preference for a man with even higher income.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev-psych-010418-103408</ref> | ||
Women are also prone to instability when they are more attractive than their male partner.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S019188691500505X</ref> | Women are also prone to instability when they are more attractive than their male partner.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S019188691500505X</ref> | ||
What is more, there is evidence of women refusing to date down in educational status or marry men with lower income than their own, and preferring to remain single when they cannot find such a partner.<ref>https://www.edge.org/response-detail/26747</ref><ref>https://doi.org/10.1093/qje/qjv001</ref><ref>https://fee.org/articles/why-single-women-are-way-more-likely-to-own-a-home-than-single-men/</ref><ref>https://newsroom.wiley.com/press-release/journal-marriage-and-family/do-unmarried-women-face-shortages-partners-us-marriage-mar</ref> | |||
Because women constantly want a better man, they get bored with relationships and sex sooner,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_rapidly_lose_interest_in_sex_once_in_a_stable_relationship_or_living_with_a_man</ref> | |||
and are more likely to initiate divorce across a wide variety of cultures.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_initiate_69.25_of_divorces</ref> | |||
And as women surpass more men in socioeconomic status, hypergamy implies that more men are becoming sexually unattractive. | |||
Hypergamy | Hypergamy naturally follows from sex differences in sex drive: Men have a [[Libido|higher sex drive]],<ref>https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Is-There-a-Gender-Difference-in-Strength-of-Sex-and-Baumeister-Catanese/5f8446340d4ed375007351539e7993fa44e2e31b</ref> | ||

This results in women having much more options to choose from and in chronic sexual frustration for most men.<ref>Baumeister, R.F. and Tice, D.M., 2001. The social dimension of sex.

The resulting intrasexual competition between men over access to women has possibly shaped men's psychology.<ref>http://doi.org/10.1002/9781119125563.evpsych113</ref> | |||
These sex differences imply that social expectations for men are overall higher and that [[Femcel|femcels]] are rarer than male incels and more likely [[Volcel|volcels]]. | |||
Women have been dependent on men's resources throughout history, for example, in historical societies women were much more involved in cooking than in resource extraction.<ref>https://doi.org/10.2307/3773347</ref> | If men provide for woman, they want more than just sex in return. They also want certainty that the offspring is theirs which is a problem that women do not face.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12496732</ref> From the point of view of the genes, raising another man's child is equivalent to losing a child before it could reproduce. | ||
But women also want something from men: | |||
Women have been dependent on men's resources throughout history, for example, in historical societies women were much more involved in cooking than in resource extraction.<ref>https://doi.org/10.2307/3773347</ref> One can thus model the sexual market as one in which men can sell the resources and women can sell exclusive access to sex.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016748701630277X</ref><ref>https://d-nb.info/997448148/34</ref> This means, welfare and affirmative action for women, as well as decreasing economic growth and increasing economic inequality, tend to reduce the [[sexual market value]] of lots of men because provision of resources are men's main goods. Women's sexual market value is, on the other hand, rather determined by their looks and reputation manipulation.<ref></ref> Dynamics in such kind of sexual market are believed to also give rise hypergamy.<ref>https://d-nb.info/997448148/34</ref> The result is a fundamental asymmetry in that men generally do not care about women's socioeconomic status, but women care a lot about men's status.<ref>ftp://repec.iza.org/RePEc/Discussionpaper/dp11933.pdf</ref> | |||
There is evidence that hypergamy has intensified in the recent years.
