And then women in response are trying to shame him and stigmatize this kind of behavior. And there's an evolutionary reason for both of those things, right? Like there is an evolutionary explanation for why men would enjoy being partnered with an attractive young woman, because on average, attractive young women tend to be more fertile.
And so if you average that out through the course of evolutionary history, men who are more attracted to those types of women tend to have more kids. And then it's interesting if you look at research on the ages that men tend to find women the most attractive, it all clusters around 23, 24 years old, regardless of the male participant who's being asked.

So even 13 year old boys, they say 23 year old women are the most attractive. They're not saying other 13 year old And then, you know, you go all the way up to 70 plus years old and men tend to say, oh, women physically are at their peak in their early mid 20s. Whereas for women, it's a bit more sort of matched with their own age. And there's an evolutionary reason for that.

But then for women who shame men for. you know, as they increasingly grow older and continue to date young women, there's the logic here is that, you know, you want to stigmatize this kind of behavior. You want to shame it. You don't want other men to do the same thing. You're basically trying to kind of police and confine men to be a bit more committed as a caregiver.

And then when you have a super high profile person like Leonardo DiCaprio, You know, you don't want that to become sort of normalized where every successful guy who women tend to be highly attracted to every single one of those types of guys are following the Leonardo DiCaprio model. And this reduces women's chances of commitment from one of these prominent guys. Yeah.

Yeah, well, I don't think like, you know, these women logically in their rational, conscious mind, they're probably not thinking someday I'm going to date Leonardo DiCaprio and I'm going to get him to commit to me. But it could be more so like I would like to date a high status man in general. And your odds are still low.

Interesting. Well, so the idea here is like, as women surpass men, and in one of the pieces that I sent you that I wrote, it was something like, in a lot of major metropolitan cities in the US now, Washington, DC, Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, Americans under 30, women are performing as well or even better than men in terms of earnings and income.

And so if women are outperforming men, then yeah, you're going to create these, you know, soft harem dynamics of women, you know, basically being willing to date guys who may be dating other women. And even if they don't explicitly know this or desire this, this is just sort of a natural outcome. Yeah, I think like... Ideally, everyone wants commitment. Everyone wants someone.
