But it is not the only thing that men are wired for.

Men, because the way most men have reproduced in history is through investing in a particular woman and her offspring, that that pattern causes them to be choosy and careful in a very symmetrical way to the way women behave generally.

I like that.

The mistake was on the invention of birth control, which has many very positive consequences.

It has liberated women to plan when to have their families to enter lines of work they couldn't have otherwise entered.

So it's very positive, but it resulted in sexual chaos because somehow.

Women thought that they would only be equal when they behaved like men at their worst, rather than a system in which we all recognized what a gift birth control is and treated it with respect and used it to renegotiate our relationships in the mode where males and females are both very careful.

Now, they have a serious problem that I think many of them are just not aware of, right?

Because they don't understand that there is some sort of alternative to the world they've been handed, but they need to discover it and figure out how to make it work.

And this is not simple because...

Let's say, for example, that you correctly understand that there's something wrong with these new sophistications and that it doesn't result in sexual satisfaction for anyone, as far as I can tell.

So you decide you're going to not do that.

Well, suddenly you're in competition for attention with all sorts of people who haven't decided that.

And you're, I don't know that phones ring anymore so much, but your phone's not going to ring if that's what they do.

And so it's going to seem like you've made an error when in fact you're

One needs to recognize, you know, if we go back to the idea that men have two different ways of reproducing and one involves no commitment.

If you are trying to compete for attention and you get attention of men by behaving in this incredibly provocative way.

It works, but it's not the right kind of attention because men are wired to view women who behave that way differently than they view women who behave in a choosy way.

And so the way to do this, if you are a young person and you're trying to figure out how to navigate this part of your life, I think the thing to shoot for is

is a culture in which people who get it opt out of these false sophistications and begin to generate some new set of rules about how they will behave towards each other.
