EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Geoffrey Miller is an evolutionary psychologist, Associate Professor of psychology at the University of New Mexico and an author. Geoffrey has been writing about sexual selection and dating dynamics for over 30 years. His work has provided the foundation which much of the modern Red Pill, Pink Pill and Manosphere dating advice has been based on. I wanted to find out how much of this guidance is accurate and how much has been lost in translation. Expect to learn how evolutionary psychology can help marriages to be much happier, what Geoffrey thinks about the modern Manosphere, my hypothesis around the game theory of slut shaming, the fundamentals that everyone needs to know about how sexual selection works, how women can hack their own hypergamy, why me and Geoffrey are going to dedicate our lives to existential risk and much more...

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.
