I watched both videos and read the article
1) What I don't think men seem to understand is that hypergamy makes complete sense when you really examine the risk a woman is taking by having sex with a man. People regularly die giving birth, and rarely does one come out unscathed. Abortions fucking suck too. So does most birth control. (Try taking pills to trick your body into thinking you're pregnant and see how you feel, or get like me and shove a piece of metal in your uterus that gives you intense cramps)
Past all of that, were also probably going to be stuck with majority of the annoying part of raising a child, like cleaning after them and dealing with tantrums. We have no earthly reason to go through all this unless the person we're going to do it with is worth going through this for. And no, that doesn't just mean money.
2) The only thing I got from the second video is "hypergamy can be cancelled out if you know how to play on someone's psychological insecurities well enough" which really just invalidates the entire question you're posing because a concept so subjective and malleable can't possibly be held responsible for the destruction of society

Only watched the first video. So about that, first of all it's an oversimplification to say female chimpanzees don't choose. Most non monogamous species mating consists of two interdependent parts, male competition and female choice. Maybe one is dominant over the other but they exist together. In monogamous species such as ourselves it's more complicated because it goes both ways, additionally to male competition and female choice you also have female competition and male choice
Second of all what point was that video supposed underline? Did you hear what he said? Female choice is what developed our species. Women's preferences of men who are fit (as in adapted to their environment) has lead to us being so successful as a species. How is that killing society? Sounds to me like it's more the opposite
There is less hypergamy now in Western civilization than there ever has been. Throughout history women married for money because they couldn't support themselves or because their families arranged the marriages for their own financial gains, and this is still practiced to some degree in certain countries. Yet MGTOES complain about Western women being hypergamous, when we're living in one of the least hypergamous societies ever. It makes no sense. Wanting a partner who is "the best you can do" in terms of attractiveness and personality is natural for both sexes. It's not hypergamy.
I merely try to find a biblical partner who has a compatible personality and personal agenda. I've fond that settling for literally anyone else - regardless of class or caste - only ever leads to misery and treachery.
If they don't share your values on life's (and afterlife's) most critical points, then nothing else will matter in the end. And trying to pretend you can hold together a house made of straw will only lead to bitter disillusionment when the other party ultimately proves unfaithful.
A partner with no faith in anything is the worst thing to have. It is better to be alone for life, than to be with a raging materialist or hedonist who has succumbed to the Hedonist Paradox and not taken heed. If said partner also has ODD, run away fast. They are self-destructive ultimately, and are no good for you or anyone else - no matter what common ground they initially used as a lure.
Yes, hypergamy is our destruction. Hypergamy is what makes potential relationships impossible. But personally that's not really my problem because I will never associate myself with hypergamous women in the first place.
I hate gold diggers!
There is a bullsh stereotype I try not to believe, that women are hypERgamous and men are hypOgamous. But that's bullsh. Or at least I hope it is.
Then again, I have 0 experience with women. Zero. So don't take my word for it.
Last I heard is that women are humans like we are and should be treated as such.

my views:
1) nothing specific against it, nice THEORY
2) i don't think it's a good advice to do the "game" the guy explains. that "game" is outdate in the "dating market". that might work with girls who are not worth of marrying though. but one thing i agree with: a man should never put up with illogical shit a woman comes up. but you don't need to be a jerk to do that, you just need to make things clear to her what are the rules and in my case, the rules are Christianity.
by the way hypergamy is killing family, hence killing one of the cornerstone of healthful societyBoth these men are useless misogynist assholes. And it's just sad that men do these things and play these games. This is why girls like myself leave them alone.
No you are just looking for excuses for your lack of self confidence.
No, hypergamy creates society. Women dictate what is and isn't allowed to reproduce.
No. Get off the manosphere conspiracy sites.
It's really not.
