Dr. Paul Eastwick, PhD, is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, and a leading expert on the modern science of mate selection in humans. We discuss what people actually look for in a partner, including surprising findings about age preferences, finances, and physical attractiveness. We also discuss why dating apps often lead people to select for traits that don't support lasting partnerships. We discuss how initial attractions form and evolve and which factors best predict romantic relationship stability and satisfaction. We also explain activities that can expand your dating pool, as well as practical tools for building and sustaining healthy romantic relationships. This episode is for anyone currently in or wanting to be in a relationship.Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.Pre-order Protocols: https://protocolsbook.comThank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/hubermanDavid: https://davidprotein.com/hubermanLingo: https://hellolingo.com/hubermanLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/hubermanFunction: https://functionhealth.com/hubermanTimestamps((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Disclaimer & DisclosuresLearn more about your ad choices.
