Boy, he ain't kiddin'. Men see what they want to see, and they are wrong 90% of the time. This is why women live in fear; they can't even be nice to someone without aggression. Definition of aggression: forcing someone to do what they don't want to, on any level, especially when you have willfully ignored what they are telling you.

Literally a common trope that the man cheats and lives his wife for a new woman and relationship. This trope simply doesn’t exist for women. It’s not solid data but we both know this trope which says enough. You sound silly.
@@ТатьянаРохасI should’ve just read your comment because you destroyed their logic so succinctly. Even if you consider only single women this would mean women often have short term relationships too lmao.
I've never cheated, but I've been cheated on by at least half of my girlfriends. So either the women are lying about whether they are cheating, or I'm really good at wooing women out of my league who then proceed to realize that fact.
@Status DMG Like I said Buss and his followers are just aggrandized teenage boys who push the same "biotruth" narrative to rationalize their immaturity.
When parents give THE talk to their children, it should be along those lines. It could save their life, or at least their happiness. Mating is a very practical matter, but it is often presented in an useless way.
She is yours for as long as you stay a desirable man, if she leaves you it's either because you lucked out with her in the first place or your just not a good man, at least anymore.
@Language and Programming Channel Marriages are very normal in a society. It is basically the way society balances the wants of both sexes inter and intra competition.
@@emilian7052 Even Hunter Gather societies tend to have some sort of pair bonding. The breaks from that tend to be in highly ritualized contexts. Maybe Marriage as the West does it now is "unnatural" but the basic thing taht when it appears in other cultures we will call "marriage" is.
@Language and Programming Channel Idk bruv they be jeolousy out there so idk how Harems are normal The best way I can describe it is a polyamourus but monogamous society. Monogamous only when humans see a key factor of a beneficial long term partner and polyamourus only on the occasion.
In my mind it's the only right thing to do. It's all too shallow and unreliable. Why would I risk my time and emotional investemnt in a person that can decide to leave at any point? Also why would I do the same to someone else? It's very cruel and I don't feel like participating in the game at all. Nature is pretty cruel.
Over perception bias I would argue is a natural component of the mating process given the obvious numbers men must pursue in order to achieve what they desire.
Curious, what is this business about someone being an "8" wanting "10's"? Where does Prof. Buss have a list of these rankings and the definition of what constitutes an "8" or a "10" and so forth? Would appreciate help if someone could direct me to a book or essay the Professor has written about this subject.
@@Johnny_Savage Well then, your statement begs the question, who is a "10" and who's not. Buss states that "10's" are more likely to cheat on a mate that is not a "10", so it might be helpful to know who you're hooking up with. I also have to say that this guy has a unique talent for pointing out the obvious: After reams and reams of research, he concludes that rich men are more attractive to women. Jeeves, quick! My smelling salts! Something a lot of hapless males have known for centuries.
Usually in studies regarding attractiveness, there is one or one group of researchers who assigns these ratings (1-10) to all individuals in the study, following some metric. Dr David Buss' book The Evolution of Desire might be a good place to start.
It's impossible to discern that bc people have different predernces. Part of the absurdity of the entire thing. I mean ranking people into numbers like this should make anyone uncompfortable without the point that it's bs in acccuracy but okay
Well, this was a lot of insightful stuff about mating, and that's very important, but partnering up for life is also about sharing and nurturing. Having some common interests and values. 2 people can *reinforce* each other that way, with each one having the other's happiness at heart.
too bad that he didn't address mate guarding and paternity uncertainty. that 2-3% false paternity rate sounds dubious, given the large minority of women, per one study, who admitted they would conceal outside paternity from their partner.
Exactly, but what he didn't address is that modern women have the pill, so you wouldn't expect the rate to be big at all. But given the data, it's more likely that his hypothesis is correct.
David Buss forgot to take into account factors of the civilization, when he talked about that 2-3%. Remove all the constrains civilization puts on women like morality, laws, commonly accepted rules, fear of shaming... and that 2-3% goes up to at least 20-30%. Wouldn't be much suprised if it were even more. Good genes hypothesis or the dual mating strategy is real.
The true rate of paternity fraud on the part of women is at least 30 percent. That's right, one out of three kids are the product of adultery on the part of the wife or paternity fraud.
At times the audience looks decidedly uncomfortable. Partially I think this is because he's opening up some home truths that we'd rather not hear, but I think reducing the mating process to some cold, scientific cost/benefit analysis leaves out a crucial, for want of a better word, spiritual component. I think people intuitively feel these theories are incomplete, and in some way demean what it means to be human.
Yeah, but that's because humans are not fully awake and aware, nor is there much wisdom, or pure love. Most Humans don't really properly know what love is.
I don't see how women being armed with the knowledge of evolutionary theory to help them avoid men with dark triad traits and avoid abuse/stalking is demeaning.
Men in the audience are not really surprised and kind of depressed. Women were laughing and surprised in the beginning but by the end they were shocked to know their own realilty
Right...believing that Muhammad flew to the moon on a winged horse and that God killed dozens of children for mocking a bald man is a fantastic foundation for a reciprocating relationship. (Sarcasm.)
It lacks, among other things, the aspect where humans are free thinking and feeling SENTIENT beings, not un-concious beings running a biology programm.

Hook up culture is the main culture, dating is not even a thing anymore. So defining a date in the modern atmosphere would be tough at best. I think Netflix and chill is far more prominent today than out on a formal date for dinner

even when these blue pill people do studies that contradict their views they have to put a blue pill spin on it to limit the damage such evidence would do to their blue pill world.
It is amazing how even intelligent men buy into the story that it's always guys who are at fault. It's just not cool to call women out on anything. What would the female equivalent of "creep" be? Whatever it is I'm sure it would be unacceptable to use. Also he ignores advise on how to handle the 20% of stalkers who are women.
What you guys don't understand, who are bashing David Buss, he is literally a genius in psychology and one of THE premier academics in evolutionary psychology, only behind the two founders of the evo psy domain. Don't get upset that empirical data brings up some information that is less than flattering.
David Andrews - Why should I be upset ? Are you assuming something about me ? I just pointed out that the fact that if it's certainly true that some information can be " less than flattering" about men, the PC culture will prevent David and you to investigate or point out the negative aspects of women's behavior. Because doing so , today, would mean you are misogynist....it's hilarious
I dont know why this audience is laughing so much. Most of what he said was shocking. Its like that person who is getting roasted with truth and cant do anything but laugh at it. Shielding yourself from reality aint gonna fix this ongoing conflict. Things are getting worse with social media and dating apps for both men and women. When everything breaks down, I hope we will go back to normal.
The big question is: are we born with this characteristics , or is it something we develop? Now men can say: Look, every men look at other womans so it's normal. Is it?
It is normal. Our dna is hardwired to mate with the youngest or healthiest looking individual. Which is the same case with women. Women also check out handsome young powerful men. Men check out young, healthy and "motherly" women. Its basically our DNA trying to survive in any way possible.
These characteristics are biological but we can control the degree in which we let them influence our lives. There are both polygamous and monogamous cultures for example.
It's like studying a species, the way a scientist would study rats, rabbit etc behavior the types of test done can be endless to come to a complete or near complete conclusion. Can we really say, people are capable of studying their own species knowing that their are boundaries?
Yes. Cold hard information and data is observable. The boundaries you are referring to have to do with philosophy/metaphysics, which is not the same thing as science.
@@GrubKiller436 It can be done, for sure. But should we really do it (going over ALL boundaries)? And for this we need philosophy. Otherwise pure utilitarianism will turn our scientists into little Dr Mengele, like we see now in China.
I think he might be looking at that “two gene” theory wrong; They get physical/financial investment and genes from mate and emotional investment from the affair. She wants to marry the count, but court the rogue.
too bad he didn't have any 'advice' to give women (in his opinion, potentially all women) who do 'mate switching'. maybe he thought it would be a waste of time.
Lol...He's talking in TEDx...man...He can't say nothing that "sounds bad" about women.... I have a friend from a friend who went to TEDx, and she had to change a lot of her subject because it wasn't must suitable for TEDx... Look how he is only "hitting men"... If someone here, have a "little bit" of life expirience, will know that women stalk men to... Women are very invasive in a man's life...Women are very vindictive in realationships...Women will "investigate" the entire man's life...and so on and so on... Our society likes to hit "men" only...See, it seems that women are perfect, only men behave badly...does it seems normal to you...Only men behaves badly??? Come on ...
seems D. Buss needs to update his "infidelity stats"... women are not catching up, they surpassed men already, they are just better at hiding it, thus, it seems, women cheat less.
@Evan J because I said the statistics used in the vid are wrong, you assume I made it up out of thin air just because women are cheating on me as some sort of vengeance? If that is true, I wish I knew what is wrong with you and my suggestion would be, consult some psychiatrist you trust to help you. If not, then I do not understand what you are traying to say. There are already enough statistics that show, women cheat more (though it is just a little bit now) than men, of course, you need one that is not PC and made nice to make women look good.
Thank you. At least one person in the comment section pointed it out. I don't understand how anyone should think that the lovey dovey males of modern society would cheat more than the liberaled women of modern society.

It's like studying a species, the way a scientist would study rats, rabbit etc behavior the types of test done can be endless to come to a complete or near complete conclusion. Can we really say, people are capable of studying their own species knowing that their are boundaries?
Yes. Cold hard information and data is observable. The boundaries you are referring to have to do with philosophy/metaphysics, which is not the same thing as science.
@@GrubKiller436 It can be done, for sure. But should we really do it (going over ALL boundaries)? And for this we need philosophy. Otherwise pure utilitarianism will turn our scientists into little Dr Mengele, like we see now in China.
I must admit, that it indeed is a blessing to be asexual
You are not asexual. You are just terrified.
I mean I can see why that talk would geberate that expression, but I can assure you the talk is simply bs
@@catsaresocute650nope
Evo psychology meets comedy lol. Great informative talk
Dayum he be Bussin’
I think he might be looking at that “two gene” theory wrong;
They get physical/financial investment and genes from mate and emotional investment from the affair.
She wants to marry the count, but court the rogue.
Thanks
My Word
too bad he didn't have any 'advice' to give women (in his opinion, potentially all women) who do 'mate switching'. maybe he thought it would be a waste of time.
General rule: Fix the man, and the woman stays. Faulty man, and the woman leaves (or "mate-switches" like you said).
Everything that a woman does is just natural, and it's the guys who are the problem.
- status quo
@@GrubKiller436 completely wrong. A man can change his viewpoint, accept the rut he can not reason nor change female nature
I appreciate his Talk and agree with it all but it isn't really reassuring to women that your partner may be perfectly happy and cheat anyway.
Lots of things make us happy, but we do the opposite to be empathetic.
2:57 literally me 💀
Who is this supposed long time comedian “Jimi McFarland” referenced at 7:55? I can’t find any information on him at all, is this a made up person?
"Mate value", a new concept in my intellectual dictionary that I will exploit to increase my mate value.
What about excitement?
Lol...He's talking in TEDx...man...He can't say nothing that "sounds bad" about women.... I have a friend from a friend who went to TEDx, and she had to change a lot of her subject because it wasn't must suitable for TEDx... Look how he is only "hitting men"... If someone here, have a "little bit" of life expirience, will know that women stalk men to... Women are very invasive in a man's life...Women are very vindictive in realationships...Women will "investigate" the entire man's life...and so on and so on... Our society likes to hit "men" only...See, it seems that women are perfect, only men behave badly...does it seems normal to you...Only men behaves badly??? Come on ...
Jose...so yesterday🤠
7:53 can please someone find me a clip or a photo of that comedian called "Jimi McFarland"? I didn't find anything on google.
Brilliant
I didn't know Gary Busey was this smart
These people will listen to this talk, go home and forget about it and continue to live their lives in their usual bluepilled ways
Probably because the truth, as Buss outlines, is extremely uncomfortable: the more you love your spouse, the more she/he is likely to abandon you.
Plenty of warnings for women; where are the warnings for men?
Also, men with higher IQs don’t cheat
Tell that to Jeff Bezos.
seems D. Buss needs to update his "infidelity stats"... women are not catching up, they surpassed men already, they are just better at hiding it, thus, it seems, women cheat less.
Celydonn I take it you get cheated on all the time.
@Evan J because I said the statistics used in the vid are wrong, you assume I made it up out of thin air just because women are cheating on me as some sort of vengeance? If that is true, I wish I knew what is wrong with you and my suggestion would be, consult some psychiatrist you trust to help you. If not, then I do not understand what you are traying to say.
There are already enough statistics that show, women cheat more (though it is just a little bit now) than men, of course, you need one that is not PC and made nice to make women look good.
Thank you. At least one person in the comment section pointed it out.
I don't understand how anyone should think that the lovey dovey males of modern society would cheat more than the liberaled women of modern society.
@@GrubKiller436lovey dovey? Lol
