Hypergamy is basically just the drive to mate with those of higher status than you. Men don't give a fvck about high status, we're mostly concerned about looks. How many men do you know who's actively trying to date up? Men simply don't do it nearly as much as females do.
Be honest HumbleNinja, you know you've been trolling the hell out of this forum since before you made this account. You know you aren't a 44 year old virgin :crackup:

Not for nothing though. Check out the definition of hypergamy and it's origins. Then tell me who started it. It was MEN.
