[CMV] Monogamy requires commitment to limit sex to each other, but also reasonable access to sex. If you deny access, you have broken the monogamous agreement just as much as an affair would have.

In the spirit of the Emilie post that has made /r/all, has there ever been a time where anyone made an effort to protect you from the verbal/physical abuse of a woman?

/u/bluepillprofessor is on it.

You're misunderstood hypergamy.

Hypergamy is the expression of a woman's instinct to find and lock down the best man she FEELS she can find for a given situation.

Note: I said "FEELS," not "THINKS." Hypergamy is not rational. I think that might be tripping you up.

For example, let's take the hot nurse banging an orderly in the rest home.

When this happens, it's not because of class issues. (Class is almost always a comfort/provider/beta issue, although there are exceptions.)

It's because he gave her tingles. He gave her tingles because, despite the fact that he is uneducated and makes less money than her, he's big, strong, and aggressive. Her hindbrain is telling her that he can keep the bears and saber-tooth tigers out of the cave. And that makes her hot.

The "high school heart throb" she reconnects with via Facebook is only slightly different. Sure, maybe TODAY he's a used car salesman with a pot belly and thinning hair. But when she fell in love with him, he was the Big Man On Campus. He was Captain of the football team, dated cheerleaders, and she just KNEW that he could drive ten-inch spikes through a three-inch-thick kiln dried north american oak board using nothing but his penis. And she missed out because she was too mousey.

He STILL holds that alpha position in her hindbrain.

For some reason, we've decided to give it a name when women do it and we call it hypergamy.

Hypergamy is a strong female instinct to seek out the best man possible to father her babies.

Yes, both men and women are "hypergamous." Men want the hottest/youngest/fittest/tightest woman they can get.

However, women want CONFLICTING THINGS in a man. They want a "NICE" guys who takes care of them and is sweet and supports them. They ALSO want a "BAD" guy who is strong and doesn't take shit from anybody- not even them.

aka "Alpha Fucks" and "Beta Bucks."

So, what you are missing is that men's hypergamy can be satisfied. Give him the youngest, hottest porn starlet he can get given his attraction level and almost all men will be happy and will not seek to branch swing.

However, with women, their hypergamy CAN NEVER BE SATISFIED because they desire conflicting things. If they have Chad Thundercock sticking it deep every night and treating her like a fuck buddy they pine for Billy Beta to hold them tenderly. If they get Billy Beta holding them tenderly they want to be fucked roughly instead.

Next, and perhaps most important. Attractive women are approached CONSTANTLY by men. Even attractive men have to go out and usually make considerable effort to bed a girl. So with a hypergamous branch swinging girl it might "just happen" while a hypergamous boy has to actively go out and seek fresh tang, approach, Instigate, Isolate, Escalate.

In short, all a faithful woman has to say is "no." A faithful man has to work half the night to get a woman to say "yes." There is no comparison to male and female hypergamy. They are so different they may as well be lodged in different species.

[–]angels_fan 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

My question wasn't so much the difference between male and female hypergamy (although it is part of my question).

However, if I understand what you are saying, hypergamy for a woman basically means she will find unhappiness in any relationship and pine for what is missing. Then she will branch swing to a man that can provide the missing traits.

What defense do we have against this? No man can possibly be everything to a woman.

[–]BluepillProfessorMarried-MRP MODERATOR0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

What defense do we have against this?

Now we are getting down to brass tacks!

Our only defense is to be the best Alpha Fuck she can reasonably expect to get AND the best Beta Buck she can reasonably expect to get. This, and only this, fully satisfies a woman's hypergamy.

Hint: You don't have to ACTUALLY be that, you just have to make her "feel" that way.

I reposted this in PPD and /u/TheGreasyPole suggested I'm confusing AF/BB with hypergamy. I think he's on to something there.

[–]BluepillProfessorMarried-MRP MODERATOR0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They are closely related. AF/BB is the type of hypergamy women experience while men experience the more singular hot babe version of hypergamy. Few men would divorce his slob, nonworking wife so long as she is sexing him up good while women will dump either Chad or Billy if one fails to satisfy her other hypergamous instinct.

It's no problem, it wasn't my thread, it was MRP's the info is for all and productive discussion is why we're here.

As far as your post is concerned, /u/BluePillProfessor answered your question.

[–]whinemoreplease 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Not really the place for this.

Hypergamy and AWALT is RED PILL 101. While you can question it in the comments, I'm not going to let there be a new post on the theory/subject.

If you want to talk theory, try r/purplepilldebate. You'll get a more diverse answer there anyway. I actually think you'll get some really good answers there.

[–]angels_fan 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah i debated posting it there, but i thought since we had been discussing it already on mrp that I'd post a new thread instead of continuing to hijack the other one.
