Advice Goddess Radio: 7-8pm PT, 10-11pm ET -- Dr. Glenn Geher, Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, Increasing Your Mating Intelligence
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in therapy and research.

You can actually improve your mating intelligence -- and your ability to meet, date, and have sex and relationships with partners you want.

My guests tonight are evolutionary psychologists Dr. Glenn Geher and Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, and their book is Mating Intelligence Unleashed: The Role of the Mind in Sex, Dating, and Love. It's based on a vast body of research, and the book, like tonight's show, will tell you, for example:

•What the research shows men and women really want (which is sometimes different from what they think they want).
•How a "nice guy" can make himself more appealing to women.
•When in a woman's cycle she looks the hottest (and perhaps the best time to schedule a hot date).
•The physical traits of a guy who probably shouldn't waste his time trying to get casual sex.
•What qualities and behaviors in both partners help keep a relationship alive.

Don't miss last week's show with social psychologist Dr. Carol Tavris, talking about common ways we make errors in reasoning and judgment that mess up our lives, and how to avoid them.

Her terrific book, co-authored with Dr. Elliot Aronson, is one of my favorites: Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts

Excellent podcast!

However, after listening, I still don't know the answer to:

"The physical traits of a guy who probably shouldn't waste his time trying to get casual sex."

What are they?

I guess I'm going to have work on my humor quotient.

Another good broadcast. Definitely interesting.

Thanks so much! Oh, and I am so sorry I forgot that -- just awful that I did, Snoopy. WIll try to post it in the comments under the show -- and here:

According to Gangestad and Simpson - (the Theory of Strategic Pluralism in Mating) men who aren’t tall, masculine, muscular, facially attracive and socially dominant proably should try other tactics than short-term mating.

Thanks Amy!
