Editing Hypergamy (section)

== Origins and Etymology ==
The term "hypergamy" is derived from the Greek words "hyper" (meaning "over" or "above") and "gamos" (meaning "marriage"). Historically, hypergamy has been used to describe the practice of marrying into a higher social class or caste. However, within the Red Pill praxeology, the term has been enlarged to emphasize the biological and psychological factors that drive women to pursue mates with superior qualities.

The Red Pill community interprets hypergamy as an inherent aspect of female sexual strategy, with women being naturally inclined to seek out the highest value mate available. This is often manifested in a dual mating strategy that combines short-term and long-term mating preferences.
