Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · Why You're Still Single & How To Get Married | Brad Wilcox · 5 Jun 2026 podcast

someone to date, I think it's important to kind of cultivate the skills, the virtues, the orientations that allow you to be perceived and to be a good provider, a good protector, and the kind of guy who really pays attention to the women in his life.

I would say something different.

I would say it's important just to kind of give the guy a chance and also to be, but really to be watching for character.

And so I think right here, like of Pride and Prejudice, right?

And so obviously at the beginning of, you know, either the novel, the movie or the BBC series, Miss Elizabeth Bennett does not have any butterflies for Mr. Darcy, right?

She's kind of repelled by him.

He seems way too prideful.

for her, among other things, right?

But over time, as she gets to know Mr. Darcy, she realizes that he has a lot of virtues going for him.

And it's this kind of process of sort of seeing him in a wide range of contexts, seeing him in his home, seeing him kind of rescue her sister who's in a bad situation, that makes her realize that, yes, one of his besetting sins is pride,

but he's got a lot of other things that make him a great prospect.

And so obviously she ends up by marrying him at the end of Pride and Prejudice.

So the point here is that I think women should be kind of looking for a series of virtues, of talents, endowments,

And an intuition is to get to know someone better that give them the sense that he would be a good husband, a good provider, but also a great friend.

And I think it's often the case for many of us, certainly myself.

If you've had Arthur Brooks, you know, it's sort of the same story for him.

It takes oftentimes the woman, you know, some time to realize that the guy would be a great friend and then a great husband.

You know, we're social animals, Alex, right?

And this is what Aristotle said many, many years ago.

We're social animals, right?
