And you told me that it's cross-cultural.

Yes. So it is.

Yes. So it is.

And this golden rule thing, please explain it for people. But for me, that is evidence that there's still an evolutionary component to selection for men and women. And I was reading this study that said women, almost 50% of women prefer to date only men that are taller than themselves, while only 13% of men prefer to date only women that are shorter than themselves.

And another study revealed that women are most satisfied when their partner is approximately eight inches taller Whereas men are most satisfied with a height difference of about eight centimeters taller than their partner. So women clearly have a preference here, a significant amount of them, to dating a man that is bigger than they are.

Yes. All right. Yes. This is so good. All right. A couple of things here. Do we have these preferences? Absolutely. So a lot of this handed us through evolutionary and our biology? Absolutely. Absolutely. Is most of it handed to us through socialization? Definitely. Do we change as we increase our well-being? Yes. So here's my point.

If you were to go back and say, Zendaya, look, you go back 10 years, say, Zendaya, look, would you prefer to date a man that is taller than you? I would say there's a good chance she would say, I would prefer it, yes. Has that been her result? No. Does she appear to be incredibly happy and satisfied? Yes. Right? With Tom Holland. That's from my outside looking in? Yes.

Why could that have been the case? Because she grew up being handed a script. She grew up the Disneyfication of relationships. She saw the prince and how large the prince always was in comparison to the princess. She saw that the prince was able to pick up the princess. She saw all of these things. She believed all of these things.

And then as she became more mature, as she realized that she doesn't need anyone's validation, as she understood the things and the traits that she loved, she was like, this Tom Holland guy is hot.

Yeah, but that is an exception, obviously. Because also Tom Holland's got 30 million in the bank. But this does happen.

It happens, but it's the exception, isn't it? It's not the rule. It is. And you know why? Also, that's the exception. And I agree. I'm with you. It's the exception. Because most of us have poor well-being. Most of us have low self-esteem. Most of us do. I would argue most adults have low self-esteem, mid to low self-esteem. And what does that mean? It means that...
