https://player.fm/series/beat-your-genes-podcast/09-love-sex-dating-relationships I would recommend the podcast to anyone that is interested in the supposed evolutionary mechanisms underlying romantic life and procreation. It has a sobering and pragmatic take which I find refreshing. Free from socially acceptable speech/political correctness and all the sugar coated lies... There are many episodes that cover relevant topics.

I usually struggle with feeling like a victim/self-pity, project my insecurities onto data and feel my self-esteem drop when I hear about the practical realities of things. Though for some reason, perhaps an accumulation of knowledge and wisdom... I don't feel that way when I hear Nate and Dr. Doug Lisle discuss these matters of life.

I'd assume other subs would get offended by this podcast but I believe most people here are mature enough to see it for what it is; without denial or criticisms of it being cynical and superficial.
