===Manospherian explanation=== | |||
'''In the [[manosphere]]''', women's hypergamous tendency is believed to be driven by evolved instincts, and unleashed by sexual liberalism, polygyny, and/or anti-egalitarian cultural values. It is believed to consist of a female instinctive evaluation of whether the gains from a new [[relationship]] will offset the losses of leaving an old one, and a constant evaluation of the current male 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, and/or anti-egalitarian cultural values.

This restlessness seems to be driven by a natural fear about access to resources and by an anxiety about being stuck with a man who isn't the best one available.<ref>https://therationalmale.com/2019/03/11/womens-existential-fear/</ref> | This restlessness seems to be driven by a natural fear about access to resources and by an anxiety about being stuck with a man who isn't the best one available.<ref>https://therationalmale.com/2019/03/11/womens-existential-fear/</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. | In terms of evolutionary biology, such instinctive behavior is corroborated by [[Bateman's principle]], which also explains greater sexual choosiness in non-human females. | ||
===Academic explanation=== | |||
'''In academia''', researchers suggest 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 academia''', researchers suggest 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> | ||
This is due to the fact that men desire sex more than women, giving women a power advantage, part of what is broadly referred to as the, "principle of least interest". Sex then becomes a, "'''female''' resource for social exchange", in which a, "broad range of valued goods", are competed for by men in order to, ''purchase'' sex from women with this broad array of (often non-monetary) resources.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016748701630277X</ref> Females compete with each other to, "sell high", in the form of withholding sex,<ref>Baumeister & Twenge, 2002</ref> slut-shaming, and gossip, whereas male sexual competition takes the form of amassing the "broad range of valued goods". This male bribery and female [[pussy cartel|cartel behaviour]] creates a situation where women ''marry into'' higher degrees of resources.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016748701630277X</ref> | This is due to the fact that men desire sex more than women, giving women a power advantage, part of what is broadly referred to as the, "principle of least interest".
