Evolution of Dating Dynamics
Over the years, the traditional concept of hypergamy, where women tend to date or marry up in terms of age, status, and income, has experienced a shift. With more educated and ambitious women postponing partnerships until later in life, the availability of suitable partners has changed. This has led to a scenario where older, educated women find fewer men of similar caliber to partner with, while younger men, often less educated and financially stable, are left without suitable matches.
