In the [[manosphere]], the term hypergamy is used more broadly for marrying or dating up in any regard, for example in physical attractiveness, and it can also refer to dating up relative to a woman's [[branchswinging|previous partner]] or relative to other males available, not just herself or the social standing of her family.<ref>https://www.amazon.com/Rational-Male-Rollo-Tomassi/dp/1492777862</ref> Women are thought to [[pussy cartel|incite one another's hypergamy]]. | In the [[manosphere]], the term hypergamy is used more broadly for marrying or dating up in any regard, for example in physical attractiveness, and it can also refer to dating up relative to a woman's [[branchswinging|previous partner]] or relative to other males available, not just herself or the social standing of her family.<ref>https://www.amazon.com/Rational-Male-Rollo-Tomassi/dp/1492777862</ref> Women are thought to [[pussy cartel|incite one another's hypergamy]]. | ||
Women's hypergamy is mainly a result of their higher [[Sexual selector|choosiness]], [[variability hypothesis|higher uniformity of sexual desire]], and men's [[Libido|higher sex drive]] and promiscuity.
