In today’s episode I talk to evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller, who co-authored the book Mate: Become the Man Women Want<\/a> <\/i>with Tucker Max. You probably know Max from things like I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell<\/em>, but these days, he’s married and has a kid, and was actually concerned that young men were using his “fratire” material as an honest-to-goodness guide to dating. He wanted to write a book that would offer sound, research-backed advice for interacting with women instead, and so teamed up with Miller to execute the idea.<\/p>\n

In this podcast, Geoffrey and I discuss some myths of dating, the traits women find attractive in men, and concrete steps men can take to increase their dating value, and have more success with women. Whether you’re married or single, this is a fascinating podcast you won’t want to miss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
