An Evolutionary Psychology Podcast for Finding Happiness in the Modern World
Nate Using the tips and tricks from evolutionary psychology, we talk about first dates and what they signal to our potential mates.
Dating can be confusing, frustrating, intriguing, but also fun. If we are aware of the signals we’re sending, we can modify our behavior to send the right signals.
We continue on the topic of Love, Sex, Dating, and Relationships – how to make yourself more attractive and how to outsmart your genes when needed.
Nate G talks with Dr. Doug Lisle, PhD about evolutionary psychology and how it relates to dating & relationships, common issues that come up, and how to improve yourself to attract better partners.
In terms of human history, how did the idea of “locking someone into a relationship” develop? Dr. Lisle discusses the evolution of relations in the human species eventually getting to why are people winding up in a relationship that they feel they have to stay in. There is a brief discussion about the book Sex at Dawn and the argument for polyamory.
We find out that the modern world brings modern dilemnas in dating but we still operate under the same psychology as that of our ancient ancestors.
