An Evolutionary Psychologist's Dating Advice - Geoffrey Miller - #432

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends. Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Geoffrey Miller. He's 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 much of the foundation which 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 hypogamy, why me and Geoffrey are going to dedicate our lives to existential risk and much more. Before I get on to other news, me and video guy Dean are departing the UK for America tomorrow. On Tuesday, we are flying out, recording with Dr. Jordan B. Peterson later this week on 6K cinema cameras in some beautiful location in San Antonio, Texas.

In other news, this episode is brought to you by MyProtein. They are the world's number one sport nutrition brand and you need to start using their clear whey protein. It is the best protein I have ever found. It looks and tastes like juice but it has more protein in than a normal protein shake. It's so light and fruity that you can even have it during a workout, which I can't ever imagine having a normal protein shake during like some milkshake halfway through a workout wouldn't be very nice. They even have a vegan version. So if you are vegan, you can get in on the clear whey action and the orange and mango flavor is unbelievable if you're in the UK or if you're in the US, they do a dragon fruit and they do a strawberry.
