So the problem with creating relationships now, and this has been something that's been in the debate in Norway to an enormous extent, what very many women have said in this debate, I don't know how representative it is, but their main talking point is that men aren't good enough. And if men do not become better, women simply don't want to partner with them and certainly not have children.

It's quite predictable. Women, of course, because of our evolutionary past, they have a lower desire for partner variety, while men, because... by having permissive sex, they would leave a larger genetic legacy. They have a higher desire for partner. So one study showed that Norwegian women want five lifetime sex partners and Norwegian men want 25. So this is a question of how markets work.

When you have a high demand of female sexuality and a low supply, women will have the power on the short-term mating market. So as we know, if you as a woman go on Tinder now, you will get access to thousands and tens of thousands of men, and you will have men that have much higher mate value give you a lot of attention and try really hard to get a date with you and then get you to bed.

So when you have that kind of enormous choice, that kind of power, it's very natural that you increase your standards. Now, if women understood better, and I do understand it, many understand it very well, and some understand it to some extent, but this isn't a cultural script that we're raised with. We're not offered this information when we grow up.

It's just not a part of our culture because this mating regime is so new, but it's a big difference between a short and long-term mating market. So if many women confuse the power they have on the short-term mating market, with the long-term mating market where men and women are more equal.

So their experiences on the short-term mating market motivates women to increase their partner demands, which they can do on the short-term mating market. There's no limits to how many attractive men they can have there. But if they want a boyfriend, then they have to go on dates with men that have similar mating value with them because in a monogamous regime, our species mates sortatively.

People with similar value find each other. And this makes it harder and harder for women to find partners. And the funny thing in the debate that's been in Norway is that so many said that, oh my God, those men need to stop telling women to lower their standards. The problem isn't that we have high demands and then they go and list 10 things that men have to do to get better.
