the trolls. Yeah. >> That seem to have like it's like it we were in high school. Let's leave junior high school. Let's go to high school. And there were like a bunch of like really awful people. Let's evenly distribute it between the sexes. Let's just do that for fairness sake. Yeah. >> And they're like constantly pointing out how >> these people are always bad and extractive and these people are always, you know, uh, cold and avoidant and like and and if those narratives were just constantly like posted on the walls and like and talked about in the uh over lunch and whispered in the hallways, it would be very poisonous to the whole environment. And that's kind of what the internet is. and then the traditional news, but also some podcasts, not this podcast, but will kind of amplify these narratives because they feel juicy. They feel uh and they get clicks. >> And I think we all have an innate desire to avoid danger. So, we like know [clears throat] where where this stuff is. But when you step back, you go, right? Like most people are pretty well-meaning. Most people are looking for good partnership. Nobody's perfect, but uh where people make mistakes. Most people are like looking to at least modify their behavior over time. Like it's all reasonably benevolent, but then there are these like >> kind of nasty characters out there >> and we give them so much credit and we give them so much power >> and they just plain suck. >> Yeah. >> So >> men and women want the same things. Let's shut them up for a second and ask what the data say. This was one of the first things I studied when I started looking at attraction like almost 20 years ago now. And in part because I found the gender differences fascinating. It was very clear for decades and decades that if you ask men and women about the qualities they want in a partner that you'll see these differences show up pretty routinely and they are differences that then in the hands of nefarious characters online get spun out into exactly the narrative that you're describing. But the basic data on what men and women say they want, it's there. Men will say they care about attractiveness in a partner more than women. And women will say they care about earning potential in a partner more than men. Now, I'm phrasing that in a particular way. And I'm I'm saying what people say they want because I'm critiquing the experimental paradigms that were used. It usually had people rating a bunch of traits on scales. And as a psychologist, I have no problem with that. I'm very interested in people's subjective experiences and I use scales all the time. But we wondered that's different than or it might be different than what happens when you're meeting people face to face and you're reacting to a set of people who might be very attractive or of middling attractiveness or not very attractive at all. And that to me seems closer to capturing what people actually want. Like if you meet 10 women, how much does their attractiveness drive your desire to date them? How much does attractiveness affect whether you want a second date with them or not? So, we ran speed dating studies to try to capture exactly this phenomenon. I'll make it about earning prospects because it's really the same the same thing. So, we have these men and they go speed dating and some of these women are very ambitious. They're going to be lawyers and doctors. Others are a little bit less ambitious. And what you'd see is that the men tended to like the women a little bit more to the extent that they were ambitious. It wasn't a huge driver of their liking, but it was definitely there and it was definitely positive. But then when we flipped it and we looked at what the women were drawn to, not what they said, but what they were drawn to, they also tended to like the ambitious men a little bit. And the magnitude of that preference was identical. And it's been 20 years of this where we've looked at ongoing relationships. We've looked at um you know 40 something countries throughout the world. That narrative uh plays out every time. There's no gender differences in the extent to which these traits appeal to men and women when they're evaluating like real people they've actually met. Online is different. What people say they want is different. but real people that you've at least met face to face seems to dramatically reduce the power of the gender differences and the appeal of these traits. >> Fascinating and runs countercurrent to I think what many people including I have heard out there. >> Yeah. But but I think the like I think the key lesson here is like >> believe your subjective experience when you're interacting with somebody and you're getting to know them. And maybe that subjective experience is like, "She's hot, but I am not feeling this." And maybe that subjective experience is like, you know, I know that maybe to some people he looks like he doesn't have his life together, but I really see a spark there. If you trust that experience, I think that's likely to go better. And we don't have an experience to go on like that when it's online. When it's online, it's very easy to put people in boxes, put people in groups, and then make the groups fight each other. And I too am very distressed about all the heteropessimism. >> Yeah. Right. That's It's not my term, but it's one of my favorite terms. >> Do you know who coined it? >> I know the year is like 2019, but I forget the author. Yeah, look it up. >> Great term. Heteropet. Right. It's like men and women can't get along. How could they get along? They've got different interests and different priorities. Look, in the close relationships realm, it's not true. And that's the realm I know. Men and women, they want the same things out of their relationships. Yes, there are gender differences and like the thresholds for sex and especially early on that can be that can be really messy. Um, but overall I see a lot of similarity and a lot of potential for these the bonds that men and women form to do great things for people and women and women and men and men and any gendered combination that you want to come up with. Um, I think we're pair bonding creatures. We get a lot of joy and a lot of fulfillment out of that. And I want to see men and women find a way to make it work again. springboarding off of the heteropesses. Yeah. term, which is great because it encapsulates so much even though what it encapsulates is definitely not great. Yeah. The term I'm about to use is gonna sound um >> like it means something uh it doesn't. But is there any research on homopessimism, which is not the same as homophobia? Homopim meaning I'm not aware because I happen to be heterosexual, but I have homosexual friends, men and women. I'm not hearing them talk a lot about how dating culture is much worse >> now. >> I hear this too. >> But >> then again, uh sample size isn't that great here. >> So I don't know because a lot of the same things apply in terms of like apps. Uh sure cultures vary. Yeah. >> But there are some constants in this picture. Um so in any research yours or others research about um homosexual dating and couples is there pessimism guys saying well guys these days and women saying in uh yeah lesbian women let's just you know for lack of a better term um saying >> women these days >> I don't think that's out there nearly to the same extent. I think some of the like interesting components that you see out there is look the apps I think did they did a lot of good in the world for people who you know just felt like their social networks had no options in them but especially for people who might have been living in places that were genuinely unsafe for gays and lesbians and might have helped them to find romantic partners. So like um I always want to be the first one to give the apps credit for that for providing those kinds of opportunities. Classically speaking, what you tend to see is that, you know, I've talked a little bit about the the time frame as people form relationships in the first place. And that sometimes we get locked into this idea that it's like, oh, it's going to happen in an instant and and now you're together. But the reality is it's often an elongated process. That process has tended historically to be even longer for folks who are gays and lesbians forming same gender relationships. And I think part of that is something that you you might even call like a bigotry tax because if you lived in a place where it was like vaguely dangerous to admit your same-sex attractions, you got to be really careful before you start disclosing how you feel about somebody because rejection doesn't just mean rejection. Rejection is maybe actually carries other threats and stigma and all of these other things with it. >> Loss of jobs. Exactly. We've seen examples of that like it's sort of again it plays on stereotypes but um I'm I'm going to assume some of it is true. Uh like in in Mad Men, right? There's a disclosure and then it doesn't go well. >> Right. Right. >> Yeah. It doesn't go well. >> I love the movie Call Me By Your Name. >> I don't think I've seen it. >> Yeah. It's it's it's about 10 years old. It's it's Luca Guadanino and and he's a fabulous director, but it's about two men who get together over the course of a summer. young men who find it's it's one of Timothy Shalamé's earlier movies >> and one of the things they come to regret is that like we didn't disclose our feelings sooner but it's it the movie was taking place in the 1980s so you had to be really careful with whether you were going to be upfront about how you were feeling about somebody. wasn't uh in a place where you can't be fully confident that you're
