In our 300th episode (actually episode 301, but we wanted to save it for Dr. Howk), Dr. Lisle and Dr. Howk take a break from solving listener problems and answering listener questions and instead turn towards answering some fun, personal questions.

10: Biological Clock, Sexual Variety, Settling Down, & Male Groupies
A follow-up to last week’s episode, we will be going over more common mistakes that we all make in the mating dance that is dating.
If you’ve ever had a dating experience where you felt you coudn’t control yourself or the eventual outcome, that was your genes compelling you to behave in a certain way. This is a double-edged sword. On one hand, you can be optimizing your genes surviving but on the other hand, it may be detrimental to long-term happiness.
We have evolved to enjoy the pursuit of love & sex through dating and relationships. In this episode we discuss how we can optimize happiness in this area by beating our genes.
