#1031 - Macken Murphy - 18 Harsh Realities of Modern Dating | Modern Wisdom

In this co-hosted podcast episode, Chris Williamson and Macken Murphy delve into various aspects of evolutionary psychology and human mating preferences. They discuss women's penis size preferences, the overestimation of penis size by men, and the implications of these perceptions. They analyze the Olly Murs body transformation controversy, exploring the differing preferences between men and women regarding leanness and muscularity. The conversation extends to the impact of body count on relationship success, the complexities of chastity and beauty in mate selection, and the challenges faced by high-achieving women in the dating market. They also touch on the rich gay uncle hypothesis and the evolutionary explanations for homosexuality, and the difficulties of maintaining passion when a hobby turns into a profession.
