EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Geoffrey Miller and Chris Williamson, An Evolutionary Psychologist's Dating Advice - Geoffrey Miller explores evolutionary Psychologist Reveals Hidden Rules Of Modern Dating Mismatch Geoffrey Miller and Chris Williamson apply evolutionary psychology to explain modern dating, marriage, and sexual dynamics, arguing that our Stone Age instincts are badly mismatched with today’s environment. They discuss how contraception, online dating, and shifting female education and earnings reshape mating markets, often leaving both sexes frustrated. Miller emphasizes understanding sex differences, fitness signaling, and game theory (e.g., slut-shaming and simp-shaming) to make better long‑term relationship choices. They close by critiquing the manosphere, calling for better role models and a ‘pink pill’ for women, and briefly pivot to Miller’s concern with existential risks to humanity.
