An Evolutionary Psychology Podcast for Finding Happiness in the Modern World
We start the show with an update from a listener who took Dr. Lisle’s advice last year.
We had a caller on hold looking to discuss her open-loop – She had a falling out with her family 8 years ago. Since then, her father has passed away and she has been estranged from her mother, sister, and brother for years and is looking to get clarity on the situation.
Have the dating games changed in 2 million years? Dr. Lisle reacts to a funny clip about why dating is so frustrating for women in the modern world. Why do women complain about men? Why do men complain about women?
The next question Dr. Lisle goes over is a GQ article that asks “How much should a man spend on a first date?”

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.
