If my observations are correct, female hypergamy is so extreme and inceldom is so prevalent in the US and other countries that have adopted American cultural values precisely because the US is a society obsessed with wealth, materialism and status to an extreme degree. In light of this reality, people's desire for money, luxuries and status symbols is insatiable and the pursuit of these things is considered the be-all end-all. There is simply no upper limit. In such a materially hypercompetitive society the bar is continuously being raised and a growing subset of men are increasingly unable to keep up with demands for earnings, career status, image, etc. An inordinate number of women have convinced themselves that they deserve more than what the average man can give them, even if they're nothing special themselves.
You can observe the same phenomenon in other extremely materialistic and competitive societies such as Japan and South Korea. In those places too the majority of the population is obsessed with money, career, social status and image (in South Korea plastic surgery is extremely common and people get it for the purpose of career advancement) and the story is the same as in America - droves of incels who don't measure up to society's career and image demands, abysmally low birthrates, and generalized social alienation. Needless to say, these kinds of societies focused exclusively on materialism and status are toxic.
Latin America is a different kind of society. Of course, there are still some materially obsessed people and hypergamous women, but Latin Americans by and large value things such as family and interpersonal connection rather than just material competition and have more realistic expectations. That's why you see men of ordinary looks and economic means with good-looking women and even somewhat ugly indios with super-dark skin and chinito eyes with their own indias and mestizas. Most people match with somebody of similar looks and socioeconomic status. As I said, Latin Americans tend to have more realistic expectations.
Maybe things are changing or will change in the more cosmopolitan cities of Latin America (e.g., Medellín) as Americanization takes root and obsession with materialism and luxury grows.
Obsession with materialism and status to an extreme degree à la US inevitably poisons a society and makes it degenerate into an unlivable nightmare. That's why it's a terrible thing that social media platforms such as FaceBerg and ilk are transplanting American cultural values to other countries that were previously much saner. American cultural values are toxic and must die!
