In the real world, Like marries Like

Just for the sake of argument, let's pretend that what the Tamassins say is true. First of all, that a woman's sexual market value is determined primarily by her youth and beauty because men don't care about her education, her professional achievement, or her income. And second, that men's sexual market value is primarily determined by their wealth and status. Well, if both of these things are true, then a young, beautiful, uneducated, low income woman with no job marrying an educated, wealthy man of high social standing does not constitute her marrying up or him marrying down. It's not hypergamous because they actually have equal value according to the rules of the sexual marketplace as set by the red pillars themselves.

Her youth and beauty are equivalent in value to his social standing and wealth. It is an even trade by their own logic. But the fact is this is how most relationships are. They are even trades. Serious research on the subject suggest that people couple with people who are improbably similar to them across a wide array of dimensions.

Whether we're looking at economic level, education, profession, or even relative physical attractiveness. The norm is for like to marry like. I'll link to some studies on this in the description below. The one area in which we see red pill theory manifesting to any degree is in promiscuous coupling, I. One night stands.

Women, predictably, have somewhat higher standards than men when choosing who to have one off sexual encounters with. As the nature of the relationship that you're studying increases in seriousness and commitment, the standards of both men and women increasingly align. So for opportunistic one time zina, the standards for both are relatively low, but for women, slightly higher. For an ongoing sexual relationship without commitment or fidelity, the standards for both are higher and the gap between men and women decreases. For serious dating, the standards for both are higher and almost completely aligned.

But for marriage, both men and women have higher standards and more complex demands of a partner with very little difference between them. None of this is surprising nor is it surprising that red pillars would draw their conclusions from the dynamic that exists in scenarios of casual sex and then wrongly apply them to the dynamics of spouse selection. Rolotomassi began his mission as a pickup artist and developed his theory of intersexual dynamics based on what he observed in those scenarios, how to make a woman sleep with you who isn't interested in ever seeing you again and who you never want to see again. This is of no beneficial use to Muslims.
