The first like, you know, several events that happen, I meet you, I talk, maybe I meet your friends, we hang out one-on-one, even through like the first like hookup, make out, even first sexual experience,
boy, do those trajectories look similar.
People don't necessarily know where this thing is going.
And what we actually find, this doesn't get to your timeframe hypothesis exactly, but what we do see is that if you look at first sex,
The first sexual experience people rate as far more positively in relationships that become long-term than relationships that become short-term.
As if the good sex catapults relationships even higher, catapults them into the long-term.
The short-term relationships are the ones that are kind of like, eh.
There wasn't compatibility there.
Yes.
Now, what I love about all of this is that like it or not, through this conversation, I think I've got you thinking like a relationship scientist.
Not that you have dropped your evolutionary bona fides.
But you're thinking about, okay, I want to see these two people meeting and interacting on multiple occasions and seeing how these different behaviors and these different features affect what happens.
That is how a relationship psychologist thinks.
Show me these two people together.
Let's try to follow them over time and we'll see what happens.
But I can tell you that these kinds of studies, especially at the time frame that we're talking about, people initially meeting, are we going to have sex or not?
There are so few studies that look at this because this is hard work to do.
And really only the close relationships folks are doing it.
This is not how things are done in the ev psych scientific literature.
But we agree these would be the best data.
