I remade the hypergamy chart because, in my opinion, the original one makes no sense, it mixes up what women might desire with what actually happens in real life.
This chart mainly represents the sexual sphere, but in reality, couples come in all varieties, and even an unattractive guy can get lucky once in a while. For this chart, I ranked men and women from 1/10 to 10/10 by attractiveness and drew lines to roughly represent the probability of having sex with people of other scores. Sure, even a 10/10 could have a kink and hook up with a 1/10, but I rounded things out, so any probability lower than 10% isn’t shown.
So, what can we see from this totally made-up chart, based on my own experience:
Women in the 1 and 2 categories (the most attractive) have super high standards, they end up having less sex and mostly look for long-term relationships. It's hard for them to find someone on their level, and they care more about personality and money than the others.
Women in the 4 and 5 range are the ones having the most sex. They hardly ever manage to lock down a top-tier guy, and they’re the most caught up in hookup culture, often falling into a “pump and dump” cycle.
From level 6 to 7, attractiveness starts dropping. These women still think they deserve a 3+ guy, but reality disagrees. They end up having less sex than the previous group because their standards are too high.
Below 8, we have women who men from level 5 and up generally don’t find attractive. When they do go out with decent guys, usually through dating apps, their romantic life is pretty bleak. They end up getting pumped and dumped by 5/10 guys, and will jump at a long-term relationship as soon as one is offered by one of them.
As for men, a 10/10 guy isn’t necessarily not having sex, but the odds he does in a given year are less than 10%, so I didn’t even bother with arrows for him.
