>>20780976>some guy out of their league fucks them when they are 15 or 16 and then discards them (which was predictable), and they never really recover from it.What's really crazy is when you realize that hypergamy is a feature, not a bug. Hypergamy evolved in our species and actually serves us well
...if a world without birth control.
Hypergamy plus birth control is disastrous for women.
See, without birth control, women do actually manage to control themselves. Sure, they all want the #1 guy, but they all resist his advances because they instinctively fear pregnancy without commitment. This forces chad to choose one of them, and commit to her.
One girl wins the lottery, and the other girls are a little upset ...but not psychologically ruined... the get over it, and start wanting the #2 guy (who is the new #1). Eventually, that guy has to choose.
This process is called "assortative mating" - and it works really well ...in a world without birth control.
In a world with birth control, women all fuck the #1 guy and then, as you said, they never recover from it.
