It's time to debunk the "female hypergamy" myth. All data show Gen Z'ers (male and female) are having less sex than previous generations. Experts sa

[quodlibet]

If you hang out on manosphere and incel forums, you frequently hear about "female hypergamy". Women of this generation are said to be racking up huge body counts and flocking to the small amount of hot Chads.

If you believe this, WAKE THE F UP. The data just don't support this. Go read any of the academic studies I've posted below. Go ask Gemini and Grok. Even the company that makes Trojan condoms confirm fewer sex is happening.

FACT: Young men and women today are having less sex than their counterparts in previous generations. This is both in frequency of sex and the number of partners.



If you believe "female hypergamy" is happening, men would be having same or less sex while women would have skyrocking way more sex and with way more partners.

I understand some people need to believe "female hypergamy" because it suits their ideology or view on women

But if you want be an intelligent fair-minded individual, you must accept facts as facts. And you shouldn't believe something just because you read about it on a forum and need to believe it. You also shouldn't rely on your personal experiences to make a sweeping statement about society.

In my opinion, this "female hypergamy" myth persists on manosphere and incel forums because a lot of men who struggle with women are neurodivergent. Being neurodivergent makes them have unusual fixations and paranoia. And one of their fixation is on "Chads" and a woman's body count.

It’s been debunked. We just have a lot of men out here copemaxing with pessimistic doomerism to make themselves feel better.

You're conflating two different questions: how much sex people are having versus who women are choosing when they do pursue relationships or sex.

Hypergamy is about mate selection and who women choose as sexual or romantic partners. The fact that young people are having less sex doesn't disprove hypergamy since hypergamy is different from the frequency of sex or the number of sexual partners. A population can become less sexually active overall while sexual and romantic attention becomes more concentrated among a smaller group of men.

Ultimately, the evidence you're providing only shows how many sexual partners people have, rates of sexlessness, and declining condom sales. Your argument doesn't actually measure women's preferences or who they are choosing.

 

[BackInTheGame78]

Any data that is self reported is questionable to me...why? Because people lie all the time.

Also, are condoms sales really a valid indicator as more people are dog it, seemingly?

 

[BackInTheGame78]

if condoms sales are not really a good indicator because people go bareback more, then we should have an epidemic in stds, which I do not think is the case

if you are both wild and go bareback, it is just matter of time till you get something spread it

This argument is 100% spot on; nothing to add but that hypergamy and sex frequency have nothing to do with each other. There is a Hobosexual in your town right now who has main girlfriend and 5 sidechicks (plates) getting more coochie than he knows what to do with. I have noticed this phenomenon talking and dealing with Gen-Z chicks

Arnold had sex with his maid...and nobody really knew about it for the longest time. Not even his wife. I think he was even governor at the time. high value men usually hide their side girls.... and women want to down play their body count.

Fvcking your maid that cleans your house regularly is a whole lot different than prospecting women at the local McDonald's.

I think people need to stop using the term "high value" as an arbitrary SMV number to represent attractiveness. High value, in my perspective, means having strong ethical values like integrity, honour, honesty, loyalty, responsibility, and principles, while SMV refers more to things like looks, status, money, personality, and other traits that affect someone's desirability. A low-value man can have high SMV, while a high-value man can have low SMV.

As in your example, a high-value man wouldn't cheat on his girlfriend. Arnold having a high SMV doesn't automatically make him a high-value man.

 

[The Duke]

From the article :

The increases are being seen disproportionately in men who have sex with men (MSM). Gonorrhea and syphilis cases have risen by 221% and 65%, respectively, in MSM since 2015, mostly among younger MSM. But data also show that, since 2021, reported syphilis cases have shown sustained increases in heterosexual men and women.

just sustain increase for heterosexuals, which is kinda far away from an epidemic that we should have seen if indeed people had more sex without a condom

more cases can also just mean that the population is increasing , so ofc more infections will happen

Common sense tells me the population didn't increase 221% nor 65% to match the increase in std's. A wider array of sexual partners would do that.

But go ahead an break that out to per capita if you need to.

Is it? How different is it to seduce the maid (or did the maid seduce him?) as compared to a McDonalds chick?

ofc his wife did not knew, but his friends knew for sure

most likely his wife suspected also

For all the men that cheated and all the women that let the men cheat, did they self report themselves correctly to the research scientists during the surveys and polls?

I heard women like dark triads... I could be wrong.. but i guess it is neither here or there.

The maid is at my house and already has an established foundational relationship with me, while the McDonalds chick does not know me and I have to build everything from the ground up. In addition, the maid is probably making a lot more money.

Not really. A woman's opinion can determine how desirable she finds you but it doesn't by itself determine your character or moral worth.

Are the two mutually exclusive? It is also a subjective measure too. Just because a guy won’t cheat on his wife with a maid doesn’t mean won’t cheat strategically with another woman that he can get away with.

 

[BaronOfHair]

One explantion, albeit it's far more prosiac than anything produced by Yale's faculty lounge or content creators LARPing as academics over on YT:

One has to go out into the wild in order to increase their chances of mating and securing companionship. By '01, it was already possible to spend most of one's time out of the office online, on chatrooms, porn sites, and the like... Wouldn't be surprising to learn that teens and 20somethings THEN were already less sexually active than folks in this same age bracket had been during the early 90s

The temptations to avoid the discomfort of navigating human relations have gotten stronger ever since, now that no one except those engaged in manual and menial labor are required to go on-site, and most of even our professional lives have moved onto Zoom

 

[Bokanovsky]

You're conflating two different questions: how much sex people are having versus who women are choosing when they do pursue relationships or sex.

"Choosing" is a two way street. A woman cannot unilaterally chose who she is going to be in a relationship with, or have sex with. The "hypergamy theory" suggests that average and below average women have sex and even relationships with "Chads", which is completely implausible. Even if you were to assume that "Chads" are willing to bang/wife up average and below average chicks (which, with rare exceptions, is patently false) the total number of "Chads" is only a fraction of the total number of average and below average women. The math just doesn't add up.

 

[craider]

The math adds up very well. Women these days simply hold out for their ideal mates no matter what. Less sex overall, going to the best qualified males ONLY.

Something tells me the people on this forum aren't getting laid all the time. At least anecdotally things seem to be even easier now than they were in the past if you're well qualified. Beware that preferences have changed as women became more game-aware though - stereotypical Chad behavior is seen as weak now.

 

[Hal9000]

COVID turned an entire generation of men and women into anti social hermits who are perfectly content to never even leave their homes. Perhaps future generations will recover but until this group gets a lot older they are going to dominate all of these statistics about an overall lack of joy being in their lives.
