Hypergamy in your face

[Anonymous 0]

I went on a backpacking trip in the mountains this weekend with a few members of a backpackers club. It wasn’t real hardcore, so this 47-year-old single mom, first-time backpacker, brought her 11-year-old daughter. Everyone did pretty well, considering we lugged our packs up to 11,400 feet. I am a wilderness paramedic, so I was able to reassure mom that her belly trouble on the trail was probably Boyle’s law (gas bubbles expanding as the pressure, such at altitude, diminishes.) Over the weekend, I hung out with her daughter some, taught her to skip stones on the lake, make a bow and arrow out of tree limbs, and how to make a fire from coals. I was also a field botanist for a while, and was able to find wild raspberries.
I’m 55, so naturally I am looking at this lady, conversing a bit around the fire. Eventually, she asked why I didn’t bring my wife (divorced 5 years) and I later asked her if, she, then, was raising her daughter alone (hint, hint) (she has family around). I actually liked her kid, so the wilderness fun was not a duplicitous effort to get at her mom (but then, you’d think she might appreciate a good guy taking a kind interest in her daughter).
And because it was a backpacking trip, mom was, of course, uncommonly slim and fit, compared to the majority of others her age.

Did I mention the only other guy on the trip was built like an NFL center? That said, I did the same thing he did, drag a 45-pound pack up a rocky, steep slope. He actually seemed like an OK guy. But when it came time part ways at the end of the trip, who did she throw her arms around and who did she shake hands with?

You know damn well who.

first thing i’ll say is: there is an epidemic of single mothers in our society

second thing:
the term hypergamy is coined in India in the 19th century. It is a behaviour that has lasted since the beginning.

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

Honestly, I understand where you’re coming from but I think you caught a break. You deserve better than a single mom.

Feminism isn't about equality with men, it's about leverage over men.

Don’t EVER ride the Tram @ Snowbird on a Saturday morning! EVER!

Boyles’s Friday Night (out drinking) Beer Fart Bubbles will make you throw up! It really starts kicking in around 7,500 ft, by 10,000 you have a mouth full of vomit that smells way better!

That woman was typical. .
That’s why she’s a single mother. .
She was obviously superficial and not a loss for you.

Wait, I thought hypergamy was another term for monkey-branching; and I failed to see how this was hypergamy, so I am a bit confused

She hug the big dude, and shook OP’s hand. She also likely sucked the NFL-type dude when OP was showing her daughter how to skip rocks on water.

^ Very likely.

Your story reminds me of a hilarious essay by Tim Cahill titled something like, “Wholly Unattractive to the Opposite Sex.” Not that I’m saying you’re similarly afflicted, only that I’ve been in a similar situation, and this essay resonates how it affected the feelz.

It’s his account of going on some kind of adventure river trip where he becomes smitten with some outdoorsy cupcake who is in turn smitten with the trip guide, who of course is some square-jawed, Indiana Jones type.

The article is in his book “Hold the Enlightenment” and is a hilarious read. I highly recommend it.

P.S. You’re a wilderness paramedic? My f~~~ing hat’s off to you!

Yes, consider all the high-value male things I did in just a few hours–built fire, made weapons, found food, protected the females. Just like men have done for 200,000 years.

You know that if a bear had wandered in, it would have been me and the NFL dude taking the fight to it.

Puzzling that these things are no longer of value to women these days.

But, I concur, that as hot as she was, I may have dodged a crazy single-mom bullet

As a Dad I salute you Sir, for taking the time with the little girl. It doesnt suprise me though. Thats what men do. We teach,learn and share our knowledge. Im sure her daughter has a good memory or 2 to reflect on. They will never understand us. The value of a positive male influence to a kid is priceless.

…

11-year-old daughter.

Which means she had the kid at 36. Doubtless that was her post wall play to lock in some beta bux. And now she’s single again. Who would have guessed?

Can anyone think of a good reason for this? Because I can’t. I can think of plenty of bad reasons, all of which are also reasons to stay well the f~~~ away from her, but no good reasons.

But when it came time part ways at the end of the trip, who did she throw her arms around and who did she shake hands with?

I feel sorry for that poor stupid bastard already for failing to dodge that bullet you so handily avoided.

Meantime, consider the lesson she just taught her daughter. I foresee a huge increase in young MGTOW in a few years. Meanwhile her daughter is completely hosed for life.

But that is not our problem.

Hypergamy is the innate belief in women that they deserve and are entitled to have better than what they already do, be it man, money, or whatever. Women always want a man with more wealth, better looks, and a higher social standing than they themselves do. They literally do not even see men who they consider beneath them. But hypergamy floats. As soon as a man raises them to his own level by associating with them, they think they are worthy of even better. This is the motivation for their monkey branching.

That is gold.

Inflation is heavy on vagina. Macro-c~~~onomics.
