Is hypergamy just women being greedy or entitled?

No, Christian teaches it's instinctual, evolved over millennia for survival, not a conscious moral choice. Treating it as entitlement misses the biological reality and creates unnecessary resentment.

How should I respond to hypergamy as a man?

Accept it as nature rather than fighting it emotionally, then focus your energy on genuinely building value, mission, discipline, presence, rather than arguing with an instinct.

What is Hypergamy?

Hypergamy is instinct, not an attitude. Women subconsciously select the highest-value man for their survival, and this has nothing to do with entitlement and everything to do with biology built over thousands of years. She's not deliberately, consciously scanning for the 'best' man, it's instinctual, below the surface.

Hypergamy connects directly to safety: safety is the primary erotic trigger for women, so hypergamy is really an instinctual pull toward whoever can best provide that grounded, stable, secure feeling.

Understanding hypergamy as biology rather than moral failing removes resentment. You can't argue with instinct, you position yourself accordingly instead of taking it personally.
