"perception that women are hypergamous"

That's not a "perception", that's a stone cold fact.

How many women are in relationships with a shorter man with less income and education?

I suggest you do research, especially with data coming out of dating apps where the truth is revealed. You'll see it conflicts with this politically-correct virtue-signaling evolution-ignoring ideological nonsense.

Just because you don't like the truth or it makes you feel bad feelings does not make it untrue.
