It's unbelievable. The evolutionary basis of the differences in jealousy between men and women.

Yeah. So the whole, David, I mean, he's everything he writes is visionary. He's a god. Yeah, it's fantastic. So the whole idea is that in surveys, you find that men are especially jealous of the concept of their mate having sex with another man. Right.

Emotional versus physical jealousy. And that has a biological basis to it because in the ancestral environment, before DNA tests, And before evidence is abundant, you got to know if you're a man that you're raising your own offspring. And if you're a woman, you have to know that your mate is not going to run off and raise somebody else's offspring. And so that's why you have these differences.

And this really explains a lot. So, for example, one of the things that you find from this is that if a man wants to be forgiven for infidelity... he should say according to this theory right i'm not advocating this because don't be unfaithful but to be forgiven for infidelity according to this theory he should say Like, I mean, I didn't love her. I only love you. I don't love her at all.

But you haven't slept with me in a long time, and I have needs. And that was the whole thing. She'll take you back, according to that theory. Now, she is unfaithful. She should say, it wasn't about the sex. It was disgusting. But he told me he loved me. And you haven't said that in a long time. And I need that. And he'll take you back.
