Transcripts
if you if you look at sort of who people
select to have sex with versus who
people select to try and form long-term
relationships with them I mean there are
many men who would not choose to be with
the woman that is most attractive to
everybody because they don't have the
confidence they could keep her that's
that's a good point even if she's not a
flirt and wouldn't and wouldn't be
looking right even if she didn't have a
Wandering eye some men deliberately
wouldn't want to be with the most
beautiful people tend to match up pretty
closely in terms of attractiveness
pretty closely pretty closely not not
always and then there are AirHeads but
you asked about income and I want to
make sure that because I had David Buss
on my podcast and he's really the expert
on this so
um we're gonna have to fact check this
with him
um but yes it's true that resource
potential is an important variable
because people have to think about
safety and child care and a number of
things but women work too right women
can work too right they can opt to work
and make money but more often than more
important than any other feature across
all cultures is that the woman
reports that she sought someone who is
kind to them
not necessarily kind to everybody but
kind to them right kind to them okay so
even if you think of like extreme money
right extreme money or you think of
extreme bodies or extreme resources
right that somebody has women in terms
of who they tend to pair up with long
term assuming heterosexual right there
they're heterosexual because here we're
making a bunch of assumptions but in
that in that mold
what is shown up over and over again in
the data is that their top priority is
that someone be kind to them in other
words they're not interested in being
with someone who's really wealthy who
treats them like garbage is that and I
think this gets lost because people
think oh it's all about money it's not
all about money it's about it's about
safety and kindness because you're
talking about a long-term Bond right now
then people say well what about this
notion of gold diggers and by the way
they're male and female gold diggers
they're I mean I had friends in college
who who would say things like they
wanted to marry a really wealthy woman I
was like really that's it I just heard
this from a few people I was like wow
you're thinking about that as your
primary concern they're like nobody
would be great I would hear people say
that
um you they're also the female to male
version of that it's very it's actually
pretty rare yeah right it's about safety
and resources and this also varies by
culture whether or not women tend to
work or not work but overall again I
don't you know I don't mean to you know
be a dead horse with this but it's
really that kindness towards them is
critical but not really kindness every
