Female hypergamy: the 80% of invisible men and the rise of intergenerational relationships
An analysis of dating market dynamics suggests that 80% of men are systematically ignored by women, while women aged 40 to 60 are having sens with young men aged 17 to 25. This imbalance, attributed to female hypergamy, has sparked a debate spanning economics, psychology and sociology. Opinions are divided between those who see it as a social threat and those who view it as a victimhood caricature.
The economic factor: prostitution and porn as alternatives
Part of the analysis points out that prostitution, with prices of 50 to 60 euros, and free high-quality porn (accessible without lifting a finger) have discouraged traditional relationships. The argument goes that young men, facing relentless competition for women their own age, opt for transactional or solitary solutions. On the other hand, critics argue that this narrative ignores the fact that male desire for young women is nothing new, and that the supposed 'hypergamy' is actually a rational choice by women seeking no-strings-attached sens.
Victimhood or reality: two opposing views
The majority view holds that hypergamy is a real and growing phenomenon, fueled by female sensual liberation and social media, and that it is causing a masculinity crisis reflected in suicides and falling birth rates. Against this, a minority but vocal group argues that it is a victimhood narrative typical of men who fail to adapt to new gender roles. They point out that 95% of the world does not experience these dynamics, according to an analysis that reduces the phenomenon to Western urban bubbles.
The debate leaves open questions: is hypergamy a structural problem or a passing fad? How does it really affect the household economy and the labor market? What seems clear is that the balance of power in relationships has changed, and that simple solutions (porn, prostitution, solitude) do not resolve the underlying dissatisfaction.
