So when everybody's around, which is on Sundays a lot at our house,
and there's friction my wife knows she's she's intensely aware of the of the of the emotional ecosystem that's going on around she's mad at her a little yeah this isn't right and they didn't say hello in the right way yeah the whole thing i'm like yeah men on the other hand and close according to most evolutionary biologists and of course everybody watching us your results may differ because everybody's different there's big overlapping distributions between men and women but
No, no, no.
But men on the other hand are less sensitive to that because that's more, I need to actually not be affected very much by my emotions when I'm on the hunt.
Yeah.
When I'm actually, and that's the reason they're super focused and they're able to compartmentalize emotionally in a big way.
Something's bothering me.
I'm able to put it aside so I can go get that gazelle.
And a lot of this is actually reflected in the way that men and women, they relate to each other in interesting ways.
One of the things that you find is the main need that most men have and most women have in their marriage.
women fundamentally um require adoration which is to say which is a sign of commitment i would fight a tiger for you and only you baby with my hands because you're everything to me that sense of adoration why because but that level of aggression that i would have to summon to fight the tiger i will easily put away when you need soothing go ahead and i'll make you an herbal tea
No, I know.
I have to be able to summon that immediately.
But if you're going to have the confidence that your partner is going to hang around while you have children.
and support you and your children, you need that commitment to be demonstrated in a particular way, and adoration is the way that that's demonstrated.
Men, on the other hand, need admiration.
And the reason is because they need incentive to actually go out and do those particular things that would, in the troglodytic milieu, you know, in the middle Pleistocene, which is, what they need to hear from their partners is basically this.
Wait, women need...
Adoration.
And men need... Admiration.
