seeking higher value in the dating market is hypergamy or de facto eugenics


We don't act like that because we're not homo economicus, but people with relationships, emotions, goals and dreams.

Also, Asian cultures just give money a lot of the time. It's a lot like dating people are hoping to get a good deal (paying $50 for a gift that the recipient will value at more than $50, or getting someone slightly higher value on the dating market), but most of the time it's a futile exercise and everyone loses.
