Men in love would do less for themselves or neglect their own developments, to raise a woman above them. Then get surprised and shattered the woman dumps them for "no good reason". Ignorance and foolishness shall be the end of most men in this gen.

You may ask, what is wrong with giving your best to the woman you love? So you can be proud of her. Well, nothing's wrong with that. But everything is wrong with placing her needs and her desire above yours. That would be a fatal mistake. You always come first.

Women are hypergamous in nature. Your grandfathers knew and subject their women to their feet, make them dependent. They took care of them but wouldn't place them above. You thought it was wickedness, but your grandma stayed. See?

Women's nature doesn't permit them to stay with a man lower. It is a survival instinct. They're attracted to Men far better than them in strength, riches, age, class, etc. Hypergamy will crush love, no matter how genuine. This is why you keep her below or be far above.

But the moment you think you trust her to downgrade yourself to uplift her, she'll naturally lose attraction for you and go for a man higher. The secret is to keep her dependent and to continually look up to you. That will keep her hooked for a long time.
