It was discussed in detail, particularly the mate-switching hypothesis, as an alternative explanation for why women have affairs, compared to the good genes hypothesis.
He's authored a grip of books about why we feel desire. What it means, how jealousy works as we've discussed in previous episodes with Duena Welsh and he's got just a fascinating insight into the mind of us humans and how and why we mate.
I first wrote a wrote about that in my book The Evolution of Desire that that's exactly what women look for is they look for that future resource trajectory not necessarily the how thick as wall it is at the moment.
I actually cite actually in the mate switching paper is that 85% of people have gone through at least one romantic breakup and so what that means is people don't find the one and only when they're 18 years old and then have lifelong monogamy for the rest of their lives.
I'd love to talk status I mean that was my jam back when I was doing the whole dating thing and really when I was inventing the advanced human dynamics curriculum recently I went through a lot of the status stuff that I teach to military intelligence agencies and things like that and the roots are all in mating they really are all in survival and reproduction.
I cannot wait to have him back on to discuss his next book that's coming out pretty soon I think there's just so much every time he drops a paper I'm just like yep and just inhale that thing.
