06: Why Men and Women Are Wired to Want Different Things: The Psychology of Gender Differences

In 2005, Harvard president Lawrence Summers lost his job for saying something Dr. Lisle calls scientifically non-controversial: that men and women have psychological differences rooted in biology, not just socialization. Dr. Lisle unpacks why the evidence on this is overwhelming, why polite society refuses to look at it, and how those differences quietly run every dating dynamic you've ever experienced.

Dr. Doug Lisle walks through the Stone Age problems that shaped male and female brains in opposite directions, why men analyze their fighting ability three times a week while most women never do, and how the he-man mating strategy competes with the pair bond strategy inside modern relationships. He explains why agreeableness is the most sought-after trait in a mate worldwide, why sexual attractiveness is far more objective than people pretend, and the brutal math behind why most people you want will never want you back.

Key question covered: Why are men and women psychologically different, and how do those differences shape who we are attracted to and who we end up with?

Beat Your Genes is co-hosted by evolutionary psychologist Dr. Doug Lisle, PhD and Dr. Nathan Gershfeld, DC.
