In the [[manosphere]], women's hypergamous tendency is believed to be driven by evolved instincts, and unleashed by sexual liberalism or anti-egalitarian cultural values. It is believed to consist of an instinctive evaluation of whether the gains from a new [[relationship]] will offset the losses of leaving an old one, and constant evaluation of their current partner, relative to the available pool of men, both in context of social expectations (e.g. the interest of the parents for their daughters to attract a valuable partner). | In the [[manosphere]], women's hypergamous tendency is believed to be driven by evolved instincts, and unleashed by sexual liberalism, polygyny, or anti-egalitarian cultural values.

In terms of evolutionary biology, such instinctive behavior is corroborated by [[Bateman's principle]], which also explains greater sexual choosiness in non-human females. Researchers also suggested that hypergamy naturally arises, and that marriage is naturally more likely to occur the more resources a man has compared to the woman.<ref>https://d-nb.info/997448148/34</ref> | In terms of evolutionary biology, such instinctive behavior is corroborated by [[Bateman's principle]], which also explains greater sexual choosiness in non-human females.
