Are women really hypergamous about looks?

[Anonymous]

The stupid AI keeps changing the question: Are women really hypergamous?

I feel gaslit, with everyone spreading this idea. I understand hypergamy when it comes to social status and riches, but not when it comes to looks. I see couples where the man is less attractive than the woman all the time. I hardly ever see the opposite happening.

Is this a hookup thing? Like, will women sleep with men who are more attractive than them, but settle down with less attractive men?

Not really.

Attraction is more complex than just looks.

Some people prioritize physical appearance more than others, but for most, things like personality, confidence, emotional connection, and compatibility play a much bigger role over time.

Reducing it to ‘hypergamy about looks’ oversimplifies how attraction actually works.

More than in the past yes. But most women today are also of low quality so this kind of goes hand in hand. If you're not one of these people then good on you. But you're not being gaslit. You're just not looking close enough at you sisterhood.

And most women today do not want to settle down with any man. Yes, i would say it's mainly a hookup thing. But most of these women do not look at it this way. The hookup frequently, but they don't consider it a hookup - 45+ anonymous.

Can these anons get any more stupid?

It’s just men saying excuses for why they can have multiple girlfriends but their girls can’t have any other boyfriend from him. Watch “Into The Manosphere” you’ll see.

I watched it. Was a little disappointing

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I found it fascinating, personally. So many of them built careers diametrically opposed to how they were raised.

[Asker]

Yeah I found it fascinating just disappointing cause it didn't go deep enough

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I don’t think he had to go deeper after the reveal of how they regularly assault people for views, create lives that are inherently unstable for any women involved with them, made it so that any “trade secrets” are not to be seen by the public eye to the point of not letting their team talk to outsiders, and revealing that a huge portion of their content is heavily staged.

[Asker]

Yeah maybe its just cause nothing was new to me. Just fun seeing them humiliate themselves

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Girl, it wasn’t meant to tell us anything new. There are men who only listen to the truth when it comes from other men. That’s what the documentary is for

You’re a girl. How does your friend group act in situations like this? And how do you feel about it?

[Asker]

I only have one girl friend, and her boyfriend is on her level, I'd say. All the women in my family, is with someone less attractive or on their level.

Which is why I feel gaslit when men try to convince me, women never go for someone less attractive. I see that happening all the time.

I agree with you. In my opinion, most women are less concerned about looks overall than men are. Though there has to be some level of physical attraction or you’ll just be friends.

[Asker]

Yeah. Men seem to place way more importance on looks.

[Opinion Owner]

Totally agree

Having never had a "hookup", what else does anyone make them about besides looks?

[Asker]

Good point! I guess maybe that's where this phenomena comes from. I'm not familiar either
