Hypergamy is a fact. High value women don't need you and low value women will destroy you.

Statistically speaking, most of us here are average in most of the aspects women look for in a partner. Such men don't have a chance of getting good women. High value women don't need men anymore and average women are also going for men far above themselves which leaves low value women for most men who will anyways be "settling" for you and will destroy you. Give up and don't marry if you cannot be in the top 5%. Of course, there are exceptions but they are not worth a try given the downsides.
