Sure women don't mind be "just friends" but surely "nice guys" know women are also quite happy to be friends with homosexual men. If "nice guys" think that the difference between them and Alpha males is minimal and women shouldn't discriminate then why shouldn't "nice guys" chase unattractive women? Such women will argue that the differences between them and Alpha females is minimal too. "Nice guys" who can't see why women adore Brad Pitt have the same social blindness as women who wonder why men drool over Angelina Jolie.Gilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-43049077020053040072010-09-30T15:07:58.078-07:002010-09-30T15:07:58.078-07:00Can't really identify by race, since I have ab...Can't really identify by race, since I have about 7 different ethnicities.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see that it is catching on, at least in the comment section of my own blog. As DeShay notes above the itch to re-choose is often disconnected from any real opportunity to trade up. <br /><br />The only other thing I would add is it is one thing to acknowledge the power of human psychology. This is undeniable. However, many take this to extremes and tend to presume that people (especially women) lack free will. <br /><br />Recognizing instinct/subconscious thoughts allows us to among other things make more rational choices. Acknowledging the monkey brain is one thing. Giving in and throwing your own poo is something else entirely.Dalrockhttp://dalrock.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-976775673585479662010-09-29T10:37:41.576-07:002010-09-29T10:37:41.576-07:00I think this is the first time I've ever read ...I think this is the first time I've ever read a clear explanation of hypergamy, so thank you.<br /><br />I have known women who trashed marriages to good men by running around with men who were clearly not much of a catch. It didn't make sense to me to call it hypergamy when the man she left her husband for was an unemployed, abusive jerk.<br /><br />Now that you have explained that hypergamy has very little to do with the actual quality of the man, but rather the dominance she perceives that he exudes, it makes sense. <br /><br />Am I reading your post correctly?DeShaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-59965859366370485392010-09-29T07:55:31.602-07:002010-09-29T07:55:31.602-07:00Hypergamy on its own is not a problem; as noted, i...Hypergamy on its own is not a problem; as noted, its a basic biological fact.<br /><br />Its a problem in today's western societies for two reasons:<br /><br />i. states unfairly subsidize women at the expense of men, which serves to lower mens' sexual market value whilst inflating womens'<br /><br />ii. equality has been implemented with a view to equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity. This further lowers mens smv whilst raising womens' as it acts to hinder otherwise capable men from being afforded higher status within society<br /><br />As has been noted by various authors, in today's world men living at the fringes of society (criminals, thugs) are attractive to women for primal reasons, but the main reason women are able to act on their impulses is the safety net they are given by feminist/marxist states.Gunnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-24236822028158112652010-09-28T21:23:23.874-07:002010-09-28T21:23:23.874-07:00I guess they have won then?I guess they have won then?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
