If men were as hypergamous as women, the human race would be extinct by now.

The title pretty much. I've had to argue with people on this forum about this particular topic being quoted that men aren't much better, but this is so far from reality that I can't help but debunk it.

This occurrence is not happening because men are attracted to older women, but because they can't get the women they actually desire. In comparison women would rather be alone then date unattractive men.

I know but there are people who will still deny it. Men aren't attracted to older women because of biological reasons, but rather they can't get the option they do want. They desire younger women more not just because of fertility as many people would claim. It's heavily about "being the first". No man wants to date a woman with a huge line of ex's as that is a severe red flag.


Men will actually tolerate dating minorities(Asians being the most common due to being very thin, though the ones who ARE beautiful usually never race mix), but women are exclusively into white men. In fact ethnic men actually want ethnic women. But ethnic women have a "preference" towards white men. It's something I've noticed in person, but attractive women tend to date down more often while it's always the less attractive women trying to get handsome men to compensate for their own unattractiveness, which never pans out well for a multitude of reasons.
