How so? Isn't hypergamy fancy word to encapsulate the general concept that women place the greater weight on relative status level when mating decisions as compared to men?
Hypergamy may be an illusion created by the fact that men have low standards for sex.

you make a good point on the idea that supposed hypergamy in the sexual marketplace can't be decoupled from low male standards. However, on the marriage side,wouldn't proving that more women marry status 'up' than men prove the marriage standards are different?

Sure it would. But that's a strict version of the definition. I was arguing against the expansive definition.

Thx for clarifying. Agree it’s a strong argument against the expansive one.

Women still differentiate aka choose according to relative male status. So, no.
