Understand this new relational trend better
In the past, it was crucial to look for a person to start a relationship with who had a higher socioeconomic status, since this factor could influence, for example, the quality of life of the heirs.
But modern hypergamy has specific elements and is increasingly common in the UK, as the British newspaper explains “The sun”.
Hypergamy is a way of relating in which a person is only attracted to partners who are socioeconomically more powerful than them – in other words: someone who is only attracted to wealthier partners.
“Today, ambition, wealth and status remain important, but finding a partner who complements and enhances your life in meaningful ways is equally essential,” Emma Hathorn, Seeking’s in-house dating and relationship expert, told The Sun.
According to the expert, this type of relationship has its advantages and disadvantages. The positive side is related to financial stability and social status. The negative side is represented by the possible dynamics of domination that the richer partner can establish with the “poorer” one.
