What Do Women Want In Men?

Tucker and Dr. Miller talk about the evolutionary psychology behind what women find attractive, i.e., why women pick the traits they pick. Dr. Miller explains what sexual selection is and how it impacts female mating choices, the dating issues of a 17-year old hunter gatherer, and intra-gender competition.

Why Do Women Want These Things In Men?

Tucker and Dr. Miller examine what dating is really like for women, by discussing a thought-provoking hypothetical for guys, Tucker's experience in a gay bar, the varying consequences to sex for men and women, how men and women react differently in certain mating scenarios, and what it's like to be an attractive woman who gets hit on constantly.

What Is Dating Like For Women (and why does it matter to you)?

In this episode Tucker and Dr. Miller go through the different ways that women evaluate men: size, body shape, clothing, jewelry, smell and initial contact, and help guys understand what they are doing wrong, and how to fix it.
