Female hypergamy is society's best-kept secret. Either you know or you don't
If you know you're probably a foid yourself and think in terms of womanlogic and basically share a common code or language with other foids, where they have to work together to achieve a common goal i.e. enslavement and manipulation of incels, cucks, beta males and general sexually undesirable men by lying to them about female nature and keeping them unaware and bluepilled, and ruthless pursuit of orgasms from Chads, sociopaths, criminals and serial killers, generally the most reprehensible and scummiest males in the world who are attractive or particularly powerful and are well aware of female hypergamy and how to use it to their advantage. Or you are a queer, the kind of guy who's a chick's 'gay best friend', especially if the chick is a fag hag, and they let you in on the secret because they feel like you understand and accept them. Or, you are a regular ass dude who grew up with a sister or a mother who was openly a whore, and your experiences with these factors redpilled you or blackpilled you somewhat before you even discovered redpill and blackpill communities on the internet
If you don't know you're probably still a young dude, probably an only child, maybe you have brothers about your age, or if you have a sister then she has not yet reached puberty. You're still hopeful and optimistic about the future because you are being bluepilled, deluded and lied to by basically every single authority figure and institution in your life that you interact with because you do not yet realise just how much looks actually matter to other people. Then when you enter puberty and start HS, or whichever educational stage is for 14-18 y/o in your country, you will either have the time of your life, lose your V at the AoC in your country (or a few years earlier if you are in the third world), experience teen love and basically paradise on Earth and then enjoy 3-4 more years of this at college or university, or you will have your life flipped on its head, come to know the true meaning of TFL, and basically experience a purgatory prison life at best where you still think you have a chance at getting the good life if you do as you're told and fall for the "hard work" meme, or experience a literal nightmarish hell on Earth life at worst where you know it's over and there is basically nothing you can do to improve your lot, nobody listens to what you have to say, nobody values your contributions and you receive hard stares, disgust and quiet laughter directed towards you everywhere you go, all of your old friends if you had any in the first place now ditch you because they don't want girls to think that they're friends with you, just because of what you look like, even if you have maxxed out as many aspects of your appearance as you can that you have control over. Which is what happened to ER he wrote in his manifesto about how he has nothing but happy memories of his childhood and middle school years but then when he entered HS his life turned to shit EVEN THOUGH he went to a private boy's Catholic HS. Because even there, the one place where it should not have mattered, he got bullied for being a KV who was not good with girls and did not know how to talk to them. Unless you actually start asking the right questions and looking in the right places for your information (i.e. searching "How to get a girlfriend", "How to attract girls", "How to be popular" on the internet and eventually finding the red pill and the black pill) you will probably remain clueless and frustrated
Foids have always been hypergamous but we have always had ways of curbing this instinct, such as law, religion, nationalism and social pressure that forced women to behave themselves and aim to please all of the males in her life. In addition to this they would have had some intuitive understanding of the fact that actually acting on their hypergamous impulses would be bad for them and for everybody around them. Prior to the 20th century, a male would catch a glimpse of a female's legs or shoulders and that would have the same kind of thrill for him as a 13-year-old boy finding porn today. It meant something to him, it wasn't like there were JBs walking around the streets half-naked wearing short shorts and crop tops in the middle of the day, or like he could just have instantaneous access to chicks getting DP'ed by monster cocks, foot worship, orgies, gang rape, scat, watersports, whatever. Females, particularly in the West, have never had as many rights, freedoms, privileges and as much power as they do today, and furthermore they are being socialised out of their own biological instincts as caregivers and mothers and being turned into unnatural 'career women' and CC-riders who can barely even look after themselves let alone anyone or anything else. They get a houseplant, post it to social media, get lots of 'likes' and think they're brilliant and special for being able to keep it alive. They get pets and call them 'fur babies', who become extensions of the female and exist solely to feed her ego. But are they happy? Are they satisfied? Are they grateful? Every great man throughout the past few thousand years, from Martin Luther to Confucius, has tried to warn people about the dangers of trusting a female, they had enough knowledge, experience and wisdom to see through a female's lies and observe her demonstrable hypergamous behaviour. But certain people with certain interests do not want us to inherit the wisdom of our forebears, who knew that you would have better luck pissing away all of your life savings into the sea than treating a woman as anything other than a housewife or a prostitute. And so we live in a society
