-===Manospherian overview===
-'''In the [[manosphere]]''', women's hypergamous tendency is believed to be driven by evolved instincts, and unleashed post-civilization/industry 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 the context of social expectations (e.g. the interest of the parents for their daughters to attract a valuable partner).
-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.
