So it made sense for us to hook up and get married young.

Later on, I lose my hair, I don't make it to the NFL, I become a guy who plays video games all day, I get fat, whereas my cheerleader girlfriend, who was really hot in high school, went on to become a neurosurgeon, and now she is surrounded by a lot of male neurosurgeons.

So what's happened is that our original mating values, which were both at 80,

Suddenly her mating value is now at 93 while my mating value is at 42.

That divergence in our mating value is going to put great stressors on our marriage.

So make sure that you evolve together in your mating values.

Otherwise, I'm predicting a divorce.

Exactly.

I mean, that's why I mean, you often hear that all marriage takes work.

I mean, you'd like to think that it doesn't take too much work and that you found your soulmate.

But this is part of work.

If I see my wife

making all sorts of moves to improve herself, to improve the lot of my family.

And I'm sitting all day long playing video games.

I mean, it doesn't take a fancy evolutionary psychologist and professor to tell you you're not doing your part.

And what that gorgeous, tall,

accomplished neurosurgeon that she works with every day starts paying her attention well she's human you're a loser at home getting fat she's hanging around with fancy accomplished guys it's going to put a stressor

Oh, great question.

So a few things, they're the same, and many things, they're very different.

So for example, kindness and intelligence are universally preferred by both men and women.
