What is your take on these girls confusing sex work for hypergamy? Like i have seen soo many posts giving hypergamy advice, but following that advice would get you labled as a sex worker. And, no shade to sex workers, but being a sex worker (an escort or a sugar baby) and being hypergamous are very diffrent and require different approaches. And do the girls writing that stuff not know what the just wrote or are they doing it on purpose? Thougths?
Hypergamyblr looooves to sell itself as republican finishing school but scrape off the Lululemon and what’s underneath? Escort talking points in sorority letters. They’ll swear to god they’re climbing dynastic ladders, but half the “advice” is just rebranded sugaring: “don’t date men your own age,” “make him pay for everything,” “hide the receipts, delete the texts.” Babe, that’s not cotillion strategy. That’s survival sex work with better fonts.
Most of them don’t even know they’re doing it. They think they’re manifesting Lady Mary when they’re just cribbing from LSA circa 2015. Actual hypergamy is assimilation. You marry into the class above you, you change your name, your table manners, your entire damn identity until the borders blur and your kids are their kids. It’s slow, suffocating, boring, permanent.
Sex work is transactional. It’s performance. It’s champagne dinners with a man who has a wife at home, and the only contract is cash on the table. No assimilation, no inheritance, no lineage. You are, to quote our fave, nothing but Spotify Premium to him. And there ain’t no shame in that — but confusing the two is how you get these blogs promising generational wealth when what they’re really teaching is how to be a very polite mistress.
Are they lying on purpose? Some are. Some know damn well that they’re writing escort memoirs with a pearl-clutching filter over the top, and they thrive on the plausible deniability. Others honest-to-god think that being a 21-year-old “kept girlfriend” of a divorcé in Dubai is a stepping stone to a baronial title. It’s all cosplay, babe, but the genres are different, and the girls who don’t know which script they’re reading from are the ones who get eaten alive.
