It would be nice if some of the quantitative rigor of HBD was brought to bear on manosphere/game concepts such as female hypergamy. As I pointed out elsewhere, the studies I’ve seen on number of sexual partners of men and women don’t vindicate the theory that a small percentage of men are monopolizing the woman. In fact, quite the opposite.
Also, Oscar Wilde never let the truth get in the way of a witty pronouncement.
As you can see from these quotes, Wilde understood women better than almost any man ever. And of course he understood women better than women because women have zero understanding of their nature.
“Women always want the best.”
– Oscar Wilde
Wilde is correct, and I can even give you some real-life examples in some future posts.
They are probably not monopolizing all the women; more likely the Alphas are monopolizing the best women.
6% of men have had sex with 100 or more females.
There does seem to be some evidence for female hypergamy. OKCupid study showed that 80% of the women were chasing only the top 20% of men and ignoring all of the rest. There have been repeated studies at STD clinics that show that 80-90% of the women at the clinics are having sex with only 10-20% of the men. When they go trace partners back to see who the women got the STD’s from, nearly all of the women only got them from a few men at the top.
There is also anecdotal evidence.
When I was in high school, I finally noticed something, “Well Goddamn! 10% of the guys are getting 90% of the best women!” I don’t think I was hallucinating.
A post on the Net from someone who just got out of law school said most at the school were in their 20’s and 30’s going back to school. The poster said that while he was getting his degree, he noticed that there were maybe 15% of the guys who were the best guys and were going through all the best women, The Alphas. The poster said that by the time he graduated, all of the best available women had cycled through these guys at least once. They didn’t stay with them because those guys make lousy partners, but they all cycled through the Alpha Candy Store at least once.
When I told my mother this story and my high school anecdote and then related the Alpha – Beta – Omega scale, she got very interested. Then she shrugged her shoulders and said, “Well of course.”
My mother is basically the source of “timeless wisdom of the ancients.” If you ever want to go figure out what people have always known all down through time, ask her.
It also goes along with common sense. All men with a lot of experience with women know that female hypergamy is true. The men who question often are male feminists or don’t have a lot of experience.
Also from my own experience during periods in my life when apparently I was in this top 10-20% group, I assure you that as word got around that I was a player, more and more females kept coming around. The more females I got, the numbers of females coming around kept growing larger and larger. They were all ages too, from 14 all the way up to my my female relative’s best friend who was 45 years old and throwing herself at me when she saw I was cleaning up with young women and girls. Basically, once they figure out you’re a player, they all want to fuck you. That’s an exaggeration, but there’s truth to it.
One more thing: from the reports online, things seem to have changed dramatically since the 70’s and 80’s. If reports are correct, female hypergamy is much worse now. Now these guys are either making correct observations or else they are making stuff up or hallucinating. I choose to believe the latter. These guys who are complaining are onto something.
Everyone knows that female hypergamy is real. The question is more about how bad it is.
