You think hypergamy (i recently learned what this term meant) is antithetical to genuine love? Have you ever heard of the concept of "dating up"? Isn't that basically the same thing? My mother taught me that a woman should marry a man who hits at least 2/3 boxes, taller, smarter, and richer. And that even though that may be a materialistic adage, it points to that a woman can only have a good relationship with a man she admires. I'd like to hear you unpack your statement a bit more I guess

Yes, it is antithetical. Is it impossible to admire a man who is short, or makes less money than you do? Of course not. And we know that he doesn't have to be smarter, or else the himbo craze would not be happening. Hypergamy, if it were a thing, is antithetical to love because it never commits. It's always looking for the next best thing, the greener grass on the other side of the fence.

Obviously you want to have a relationship with someone you admire. But that's not the same as hypergamy. "Hypergamy" never admires anyone. It just takes people and makes them rungs on a ladder to be climbed over. And the ladder has no "top." Real love, when you admire someone, commits to them, focuses on them. They are the goal. You don't always look for a way to swap up because, when you love someone, they become the pursuit. Even when you already have them in your life. Especially when you already have them in your life.

Look I love unconditional devotion love stories as much as the next person, but there's really something so deliciously raw about conditional devotion.

I have served you and I have loved you for decades, but I will not give up my principles for you. You cut out part of my heart and took it with you down that path that you insist on walking, but you walk it alone. Even when the bleeding, gaping hole you left in my chest kills me, I will not follow you.

very big fan of when shows put wigs on actors and say ‘yeah. That’s him when he was younger fuck you’. No anti aging ai, no teen actor hired. Just. The same guy with a fuckass wig
