Greetings all; not sure if this is the right subforum for this question, so if it isn't, kindly send it to the right one.
Been listening a lot of Rollo on youtube (haven't bought his book yet), and I've heard many attributes of female hypergamy. There's something I'm not quite understanding and I wanted to run it across you experts and get your take on it.
Rollo has, many times, equated (or defined) FH as "alpha ****s, beta bucks" or, "dads before cads".
The textbook/dictionary definition of hypergamy is "marry a person of a superior caste or class". I realize there's a nuanced definition of how Rollo uses the word, replacing "marry" with "currently have a sexual relationship with". Under the textbook definition, both men and women can practice hypergamy, though Rollo has stated there's nothing concomittant in the male sexual strategy with female hypergamy.
What I eventually came to realize is that Rollo is not saying "Alpha ****s OR beta bucks". He's saying that women want "alpha ****s AND beta bucks".
Assuming I have that right, "hypergamy" seems to be the wrong word to express this particular aspect of the female reproductive strategy/imperative.
It seems like what this is, is "bi-directional duplicitous polygamy"; ie, the result of cultivating 2 mates, one for sexual pleasure and one for childrearing fundamentals, probably in a deceitful way, AND grooming society to both accept and masquerade this female charade as well.
Thoughts? Or am I still missing something?
