TL/DR - A dissertation on the progression of hypergamy from the denial of its existence by the feminine imperative, to where we are today with Open Hypergamy, to musings and discussion on where Hypergamy will be in the future, and how men will culturally react on a meta level.

"Marry a man who loves you just a little more than you love him."

And of course we have:

“When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them. The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.” ― Sheryl Sandberg

Funny. Looks like Alpha Fux Beta Bux is as old as time itself. But, as Rollo so often deftly puts it, women are becoming less and less inclined to hide their hypergamous motivations anymore. The first quote above was how grandma advises women embrace "it"; the second quote, feminist author Sheryl Sandberg's statement, is the way the Sexual Revolution women say "it"; and "Alpha Fux Beta Bux" is the way 21st century Red Pillers say "it". But what is "it" that we're all collectively referring to? The "it" that both TRP and now feminism (and by default the feminine imperative) openly agree exists?

What is this same "it" that we're all talking about in different languages? Feminine hypergamy.

Even over the course of my time at TRP, women have progressed. At first, women and Blue Pillers vehemently denied hypergamy was even a thing. But now, not only do they not deny it, they are actively celebrating it and trying to get men to accept it and go along with it. Here is a quote from /u/Rollo-Tomassi on the matter (emphasis mine):

Now, the same women who adamantly denied what their functionally opportunistic concept of love represents; the same women who rejected the idea of an Alpha Fucks / Beta Bucks sexual strategy openly and triumphantly boast about it. It’s become a source not only of agency, but a proud admission of perceived power on the part of women.

At some point the social impetus behind Open Hypergamy became so blatantly obvious they could no longer deny the truth of it. The Genie was out and it was more advantageous to not only to welcome it, but to brandish and profit from forcing men to accept it. Thus we have Open Hypergamy both subtly and triumphantly waved in our mainstream advertising, our pop-culture, our social media, our music and even the movies we take our kids to enjoy.

Even in our advertising, view this Red Robin TV ad:

"Or more accurately, the perfect two dates." Yes ladies. Quite the perfect setup. Actually I bet our woman here could even parlay her Red Robin meal deal into three dates:

• Dinner with Brad
• Movie with Thad
• Fucking with Chad

Then she lets Chad eat Brad's Red Robin leftovers afterwards

There will come a time when the majority of men stop putting up with this shit, and I believe it's going to come soon, as in within the next 10 years or so; especially as "feminism" becomes more and more of a dirty word.

To this, /u/Xenmas81 asked:

You really believe the mass exodus to MGTOW will be within a decade?!

No, I don't believe there will be a mass exodus to MGTOW. But I do believe that a conglomeration of factors will change the SMP drastically, not the least of which VR/sexbots. Once they become advanced enough to actually mimic the real thing, you will see three primary things happen:

• Lesser Betas and Omegas will retreat to their sexbots and stop pursuing women altogether.
• Alphas, who already have it good in the SMP, are about to have it really fucking good. Emphasis on the fucking.
• The Greater Betas will schism; some will put in the work to better themselves at Game and Appearance, others will join the Lesser Betas and go sexbots, video games, and pursuit of hobbies.

The Betas will be gone (not in the literal sense "gone", but "gone" from active participation in the SMP; think empty bars/clubs/social events with mostly women and a few high value men), only "asshole Chads" will be left, and women will become even more frustrated with "where are all the good men" than they are now. Alphas won't even have to try anymore, because women will need to qualify themselves to them, rather than the other way around.

Of course, the female retort to this goes like:

No JP, you are wrong! Women offer stuff in relationships besides sex, y'know! We offer companionship, friendship, and someone to talk to! We offer emotional support and stuff like that! Most men aren't shallow like you and only look for sex, you silly twerp!

To wit, I reply, literally everything a woman can give me, a male friend can give me, except for sex. Hell, when it comes to advice seeking and empathy, I'd posit that a male friend is better at those things than a woman. Overall, the ancillary benefits to female-male relationships can be nice things, but if the sex isn't happening, the relationship isn't happening. Women delude themselves when they refuse to believe that most men really do think this way, even if society has shamed them into not saying it out loud.

So I don't really have a "lesson learned" here because I already have my own opinions on this shit. But I'd rather like to solicit comparing and contrasting viewpoints. Have we arrived at the "end stage" of hypergamy, or is it continuously on a "vector", if you will, of becoming geometrically more shameless to women? Will men respond the way I posit, or will men ultimately become active participants in their own cuckoldry?
