In terms of evolutionary psychology, hypergamy and women's choosiness can be explained by sex differences in parental investment ([[Bateman's principle]]) | In terms of evolutionary psychology, hypergamy and women's choosiness can be explained by sex differences in parental investment ([[Bateman's principle]]). This creates sex differences in sex drive with men being much more promiscuous maters and women evolving to be coy and dependent on men. | ||
Being physically weaker, women are believed to choose the most dominant male available to be protected from contenders (bodyguard hypothesis<ref>https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4615-5985-6_21</ref>) and to get access to high quality foods.<ref>http://web.simmons.edu/%7Eturnerg/MCC/Matechoice2PDF.pdf</ref> Especially when many women accumulate at the most dominant males (polygyny), it implies women tend to date up overall and there is a surplus of men at the bottom of the socioeconomic hierarchy without any sex. | |||
<!--Women want resources from men because women have been heavily dependent on men's resources throughout history.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref> | |||
Men want sex and paternal certainty (a problem that women do not face).<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12496732</ref> | |||
In the sex market 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> | |||

In summary, women's love style is more opportunistic and transactional than men's. Women are loved nearly unconditionally, men are not. Social expectations for men are overall higher, hence [[Femcel|femcels]] are [[demographics|rarer]] than male incels and more likely [[Volcel|volcels]]. Since women have more dating options available to them, they tend to have much more power over relationships than they like to admit ([[Briffault's law]]). | In summary, women's love style is more opportunistic and transactional than men's.
