David Geffen’s divorce gives new meaning to an old term

The New York Times interviewed Srushti Upadhyay, a doctoral candidate about hypergamy – the act of marrying someone with more financial resources. Upadhyay said hypergamy has been adopted by some women who are in relationships that began on “sugar-dating” websites. “Some sugar babies will refer to themselves as not sugar babies, but that they’re just dating hypergamously,” Ms. Upadhyay said.
