In the scientific literature, the term '''hypergamy''' mostly refers to '''marrying up''' in socioeconomic status and it can refer to both men and women. In the [[manosphere]], the term is used more broadly for marrying or dating up in any regard, for example in physical attractiveness, and it can refer to dating up relative to a woman's previous partner or relative to other males available, not just herself or the social standing of her family. | In the scientific literature, the term '''hypergamy''' mostly refers to '''marrying up''' in socioeconomic status and it can refer to both men and women.
