Yeah.
I mean, when a man loses his job, the likelihood of divorce goes up by 35%.
When a wife loses her job, the divorce likelihood goes up by 0%, actually.
Why?
That doesn't mean that women are less virtuous than men.
On the contrary, men will withdraw love when women don't earn it largely with fertility cues.
So what you find is that the top five...
cues for romantic relationship differ between men and women.
For men, they're all fertility cues.
And for women, they're all resource cues.
And this goes back to evolutionary biology.
It's not that, you know, this is some sexism thing.
It's not that we're horrible human beings, but we are biological creatures.
And so when men, women who don't actually love you will condition their affection on continued resource cues.
And men who don't actually love their wives will condition their affection on fertility and attractiveness cues.
Which is why a lot of women get divorced after 40, I would think.
Yeah.
And it's also one of the reasons that women who are very, very insecure about their relationships are getting a lot of work done and trying to look as young as possible when they're in their 50s and 60s and 70s.
Because they don't know.
They don't know.
