#40 The Sexual Marketplace - The Differences Between Men & Women

Eric Thomas — Wed, 30 Jun 2021 05:00:00 -0600

On this episode we discuss the differences in value on the sexual/dating marketplace between men and women at various times in their lives.

It is important to know what advantages and disadvantages you have as a man so you can play to your strengths and grow into the person you will need to be to attract and keep a mate.

There is a section at the start of the show that I didn't finish my thought. Sexual dynamics, as in the ability to build arousal in an intended person, comes from a part of the brain that is before money. However, if you have no problems attracting women but have problems keeping them resources (money, skills, connections, behaviors) would be the culprit.
