We need the validation of others, right? And this is the reason why I always say it goes back to us.

Do you really think this is the answer to this? Do you not believe that there's a big evolutionary component to attraction selection preferences? Because I'm struggling to believe that society... is the only reason why we pick certain people. And I do, part of me wonders and slightly worries that

We've almost accidentally inadvertently designed society in such a way where what we're looking for no longer exists necessarily. So we have to confront this new reality that, in fact, we're going to have to adjust some of our preferences if we are going to be happy and find what we're looking for.

Yes. I do believe that a large percentage of the decisions that we make have been handed to us genetically. So I'm with that. And I think the research suggests that. So if you have, for example, I was talking to Dr. Tara Swart and talking about a woman in the club, if she's ovulating or not ovulating, just based on that, men are going to be attracted or not attracted.

Or you think about scent, right? Really what we're trying to do with scent, the reason why we're turned off with scent is that It's genetic. It's that if we end up mating with someone who has too close of a genetic mirror to ours, the child won't be as strong. So we need diversification in our genetics. And we don't realize this, but we can determine that through our scent, by being turned off.

It's a whole sniff test. So... Do genetics play a role? Absolutely. Golden mean. We talked about golden mean, where in essence, this is women on average loving to see wide shoulders and a thinner waist, and men on average loving to see smaller hips, smaller waist, wider hips. Now, Can people debate these concepts? Absolutely. Do they stand up? I mean, are there evolutionary reasons for these?

Yes, because it speaks to being fertile for women or it speaks to being strong to protect, right, for a man. All of this does play a role. And sometimes we don't realize how... much of a role evolution has played in why and how we make decisions, which is why it's also important though, to understand how the society that we have created as human beings also plays a role, how we were handed

You need to have a partner who's the same class as you. When you find your partner, that's the person that completes you. When you find a partner, that's till death do you part. Those pieces were handed to us. So there's no wonder why we're confused. We have all this evolutionary decision-making happening that we're not even aware of.

And then on this side, we have society telling us this is the person that we should have and this is the reason why. And I go back to why awareness is key. And understanding how and why we are gives us a power. It gives us autonomy over our decisions so that when you are making that decision on your partner, you can ask yourself, you know, yeah, I would love to have a partner who's Over six feet.

But how important is that really to me? Why do I think I feel this way? And once you begin to have those debates with yourself, that puts you on the path to making a decision that you're going to be more satisfied with in the long haul.
