I read this whole thread and I think you're all right in different ways, but you're trying to be reductionist to reach a definitive simple rule. That can not exist in humanity. People can be very predictable and yet can be completely chaotic too. My life for example, as an alcoholic was predictable. Yet, my recovery was chaotic. I pulled myself out of a life chained to human impulse and did a complete 180.
So, my point is that these rules we discuss on here, hypergamy being the specific topic of this thread, are true in that they do apply to women. However, they are true in degrees. LMS is important to women in varying degrees. Everyone in this thread who put some thought into their reply is correct to a degree, perhaps in general or as a specific example.
I disagree with @Dash Riprock about hypergamy not applying to every woman. It does. It just does it dependent on not only her individuality but also the men you're trying to apply it to! This equation is multi-variate, it is not simple.
What I do think Dash is correct about is that hypergamy is way overblown on the other end of the spectrum as the be all and end all. That every single woman will monkey branch at the slightest of faults. No. There are women who will wait years to monkey branch with a guy who is not satisfying her hypergamy, specifically because she has good morals or because she does love him. She will have that desire to leave, much like a guy might have the desire to have sex with a 10 while he's in a relationship, but the other parts of this equation matter. I wouldn't sacrifice my relationship with my girlfriend for a 10. Most women aren't going to sacrifice a strong relationship with a guy for the chance at something slightly better. However, if you've become beta with a woman, stopped working on yourself, stopped doing the things that attracted her to you, of course she's eventually going to leave. At the same time, don't forget hypergamy includes the beta comfort/connection side. A woman's hypergamy craves that more than the once a month alpha fvck. You need to be both. I don't think most women would leave a masculine guy they have a connection with, especially if he's only one part of hypergamy's equation. (Either just money or just looks) I believe the guys that don't think you can have a decent LTR or marriage with a woman are underestimating the strength of a truly masculine guy. I think the high divorce rate is a result of feminism freeing woman's hypergamy, but that equation includes the lack of masculine men for women to pair bond with. Be the masculine man.
So the question becomes, what can we do in a kind of predictable, kind of chaotic world? Understand the rules so you give yourself the best chance at the life you desire. Part of that requires being the best man you can be and part of it requires understanding how women operate and what qualities to look for. If you can do these two things, you will have the best chance at what you want. But in the chaos, things change and nothing is a guarantee. So build a life you love for yourself and only have women compliment it.
