    Here's my conversation with @profdavidbuss, an evolutionary psychologist at UT Austin & one of the founders of evolutionary psychology. We talk about sex, dating, and sex differences. This was fascinating & fun. Thank you @hubermanlab for connecting us. youtube.com/watch?v=sndW9h…

    Apologies for the retweet, but I enjoyed my conversation with @lexfridman tremendously. It has also exceeded half a million 'views.' As an introverted academic, I'm happy to reach a wider audience.

    Excellent article in @Quillette taking apart the latest absurd anti-sex difference book. When will science actually triumph over ideology in this domain?

    Strong replication of key findings of Buss's (1989) 37-culture study of sex differences in mate preferences; no support for 'social role theory' digest.bps.org.uk/2019/03/13/a-n…

    Glad to see replicability when so many findings fail to replicate. My question: How many empirical refutations of social role theory will be needed before it is abandoned?

    Sex differences in mate preferences are no smaller in more gender-equal nations, contrary to the idea that these differences are a product of socially-imposed gender roles. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14…

    My paper on mate preferences across cultures just passed 5,000 Google Scholar citations, a record for me. An unknown number of citations come from people who hate it or its findings. Some found the paper worthy. If interested, here is a link: labs.la.utexas.edu/buss/files/201…

    You can run, but you can't hide from evolved sex differences in mate preferences . . . even in Norway.

    Even in the most gender‐equal society in the world, women give more weight to earning potential in the opposite sex and are far more likely to marry up than men. ftp.iza.org/dp12185.pdf

    Contrary to social role theory, sex differences tend to be larger in countries with higher gender equality. A highly replicable finding: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

    I'm excited that the new edition 'Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind (7-e)' is finally published. It's been 5 years since the last edition. Here is a link for those interested: amazon.com/Evolut.../dp/1…... I love the new cover; it features 'Darwin's Arches.'

    In an age of replication crisis, these sex differences have stood the test of time-replicable across cultures and times, and by dozens of independent researchers.

    Replying to @ogiehart
    theory was tested across 37 cultures (total N: 10,047) by @ProfDavidBuss which results: 1. Females were found to value cues to resource acquisition in Potential Mates more highly than Males. 2. Reproductive capacity were valued more by Males than by Females.
