This one is good from the start
Since you are inclined to Soviet literature maybe the masterpiece on the subject of love is Mikhail Boulgakov-The master and Margarita
uyeue
You should ask Natalie Portman how she felt after making the movie. Interview her.
I see a different side of Lex on this Podcast...I like this kind of podcasts, we see more a glimpse of you
so great for Lex to really open up for us and have his therapist on the show
lollll...
😂
This is brilliant !
Hahaha 👍
😂😂
Please bring more evolutionary psychologists! They are extremely interesting.
Hmm, also depressing and at times confirmatory if preexisting opinions.
@@tomwright9904 obtain resources, give to the ones with no Y chromosome
They turn betas into alphas.
@@tomwright9904 reality is often depressing. That’s why there’s such a movement lately to hide truth and replace it with things that “feel good” and don’t hurt feelings. Confirming old opinions is okay if they’re logical and accurate.

Seeing a dating coach, putting out ads on RUclips "why lex is single" (I.e. lex is available guys)
@@tomwright9904 i salute the game. He could be pulling in large numbers
Does not compute can not copulate lol
May the search provide a lifetime of adventure with a very special lady! Much love friends
Lol like 99% of people don’t use a dating app to meet people?
To quote our president: “C’mon man”
Lex is doing more work than most feel entitled to just by merely signing up for a dating app.
Genuine, authentic curiosity is intriguing. [to me🙋🏻♀️]
Might not be in the direction most women actually seek out.. but *some* women might be gushing for this ….
🤷🏻♀️😵💫😬🤔😏
Also..
Bitches are weird. 🙋🏻♀️
i wish people had half of the self awareness and desire to improve as lex does. this world would be a better place.
This will help lex get da panooch
Bitterness is the sole reason for any negative action imo
@@sithlorddread8721 Singling out anything and point the finger at the whole could be seen as the same issue. but I guess sometimes you have to be a part of an issue to fix it.
@@fVNzO you are 100% right....but I would say it is a spectrum of good and bad but it doesn't start or stop at good and bad....the spectrum goes well beyond our perception
@@rughkas amen!
The Evolution of Desire by David Buss. If you haven't read it - read it. Stumbled upon this book as a wide-eyed 18 year old and it completely changed my perspective on not just human bonds but life in general. Seriously, the only book that ever made me feel like I had just been donkey kicked in the face by truths and reality after finishing it.
I'm afraid to read it and be too rational in my next romantic relationships, being a complete robot analysing everything about the relation. Like "Oh, so we are staring at each other because of evolutionary things and not because of a 'magic love'"
@@joaop3268 To me it takes the mysticism out of it. American culture (not all culture) has turned love into a commodity or a religious thing. I am so thankful to live in a time where I am able to understand WHY we love. Being told what love is by culture, money or religion is kind of sad in my opinion.
Read Desmond Morris' The Naked Ape.
It's an old classic, but fantastic factual observance of Humans and the human condition.
What was the outcome? Any long term mating success?
@@joaop3268 feeel a connection with someone, if its mutual.. buy the ticket and take the ride. for good or bad you will have shared life with someone. I dont think that a book or self talk can ever prepare someone for love and heartbreak. Why overthink a relationship that hasn't even happened yet?
We are seriously so blessed to be living in a time where informational and thought provoking content like this is free. Lex, your podcast has truly been a gift to my life. I know you probably won’t see this but keep doing what you do and enriching our lives. Much thanks :)
Love this acknowledgment
Lex your rooly unrool man
Yeah, I particularly loved the several minute recitation of fridge magnet platitudes
Lex explaining the “Dad Body” to Dr. Buss was hilarious 😆
Yeah especially since Dr. had a more correct idea than Lex. It's not slightly out of shape, it's out of shape lol which is kind of sad, because women who like that feel so because they feel more secure assuming they can't score an affair as easily + they have an excuse to be out of shape too. Really toxic!
@@glacialimpala disagree! Dad bod has structure. You still got the shoulders and the arms and your gut is merely a layer over what are surely abs if only you'd give up carbs. Otherwise you just fat.
Dad Bod is mostly just virtue signaling. Or perhaps a bit appealing to women who are looking for a beta and slightly submissive long-term partner. Basically a guy that's more unlikely to cheat, or run off with another woman once the children are born.
@@Joerumbler it is better for women during sex as well
@@glacialimpala dad bod is a guy with decent muscle from doing all the physically difficult chores but with the downsides of subpar nutrition especially because of beer
"I'm never going to kill someone..."
"The night is young."
Never stop being silly,Lex!
😂
Lex gets in some bangers every now and then lol
I must have seen this syllogism fifty times today.
Got to love the candle-lit discussion on relationships 😊
the candle adds a lot to the overall mood of the interview, in my opinion, but perhaps i have some sentimental bias for the aesthetics of fire.. anyway, he should just cover the desk in candles :D
missing rose petals
Lex's sense of humour is one of my favourite things about these discussions
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's actually a roast... a women's roast.
Lex even lit up the candles in expectations of a Romantic conversation.
He is such a romantic. Perhaps naive in some charming ways. I love his humor, as understated it may be he is really funny. On top of that, intellectual, good looking and seems like a humble guy. Oh, and athletic and strong. (watch he and David Huberman's work. ( stuff dreams are made of, lol). I would think women would be throwing their pheromones at his feet. He obviously has great genes!
.
😅😅😅
I laughed when I saw the title because of Lex's analytical approach to something so emotional, but it turned out to be a fascinating discussion. Cheers!
It's bollocks. Women want the D, class dismissed.
Can't ever judge a book...Lex is brilliant!
So far they all are...
“Yoga pants are one of the greatest inventions…. There’s fire, and yoga pants…. “ lol I feel the same way, Lex.
He was VERY clear ...he loves them because of the comfort it provides women 😉😂😂
I dated a guy who told me men will put up with an ugly face for a good body. 🤬 Please stop being awful.
And sun dresses
Literally replacing all my pants with Yoga Pants after hearing him say that
God bless the pervs so this perv may prosper
Around 1:40-1:44 about testing your relationship on a trip abroad. I can confirm that it works, at least in my case. I got married as an April Fool's joke with my language buddy in 2021. The marriage day was actually our 8th live encounter. Then 2 months later we had our "honeymoon", which was a 700km kayaking trip across Ukraine from Kiev to Kherson. I didn't think she was serious and ready to do it in reality, because she had no previous kayaking experience. So in the beginning of July 2021 we started the trip as friends who got married as a joke but ended the trip in Kherson in August as a couple. We faced many difficulties, starting from the physical challenge of paddling 20-30km a day. Another one was finding out how to move our kayak past the five locks along the Dnieper river. Stormy weather was sometimes against us also which is why we had to skip around 160km from the original route. After all the trip was a great success, we had a lot of fun despite all the problems and we had become a great team. We didn't talk about our marriage then but afterwards we both admitted feeling like it wasn't a joke anymore in the end of our honeymoon. Now we have lived a year together and next April Fool's Day is our 2nd anniversary already so I can highly recommend traveling together right in the beginning or just doing something challenging together to see how your partner reacts in stressful situations.
I loved this share : ) Wish you two a happy life the odds are always not so great but the way describe it makes it look promising.
“[As] a scientist, I am not a political advocate. I adhere to the empirical data, and the empirical data are very clear on these matters.” Dr. Buss, on gender.
I had the great privilege to study as an undergraduate under Dr Buss at UT many years ago. I’m refreshed and gladdened that he remains faithful to the scientific process amid cultural turmoil and confusion.
That's great! If I could pick my lectures they'd be by Buss, Sowell, Fridman, Peterson, Rice, Hirsi-Ali, Huberman
When the SUNSCREEN poem was recited I got tears in my eyes. Thank you for presenting these beautiful lines!
Me too
I like the ambiance of the candles. These gentlemen set the scene for deep connection and a real heart to heart in the matters of love and relationship.
"I never let schoolin' get in the way of my education" - mark twain was my high school year book quote. I was censored.. and it was left blank!! :)
Haha Lex has the perfect amount of humor and awkwardness to make things a podcast interesting and informative
Ted Bundy killed my friend's sister and I have another friend who worked with him at the University law school. She didn't find him attractive whatsoever and not charming which makes me realize how our perception of him through the media is tainted. It reminds me of the quote that "Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.” - Simone Weil
That's awful for your friend's family. I hope they are doing well.
Extreme generalization of one persons experience
The banality of evil
Maybe your friend was ugly
@@richfoster4369yup!!
This woman's opinion:
- Toned is NOT dad bod. Toned is slight definition but fit overall. Could jog for miles or play sports without a problem.
- Dad bod is formerly toned and now has gone soft. ('Cushion for the pushin' is obese for the record)
- Musclebound is muscles upon muscles, extreme definition and almost unnatural looking.
- 5'8-5'11 is a good height. 6' is ok, but more than that starts feeling off. (That's coming from someone 5'4")
- as for 'endowment', I'll just say that guys who think bigger is better, are wrong. All extremes are generally bad. In life and in physical features.
We wear clothing because we don't have fur anymore for temperature regulation and protection from the elements. Style is more culture based.
Women have always competed for men. For the majority of time having a strong mate would mean the difference between life and death for a gene line. Quality mates were in high demand so other women would try and take the valued man for herself, which is why women tend to be protective. Most of this is subconscious at this point in history, but it's still obvious when you know what you're looking at. Men and women both compete, but men do it through physical means and women do it through more 'subtle' mental tactics (which I've never liked because I detest sneaky and underhanded mind tricks). It's rare women can fully trust each other. At least it's rare that trust isn't completely abused or utterly smashed if a guy is in the picture.
It's usually a pleasure to interact with a red-pilled woman. Thank you!
so he its over for lex as a 5'5 guy
@@armin3057 he always has daddy Dillon who will hold Lex in his strong hairy arms
As with all of your podcasts, I am fascinated by the entire process. Lex, you are an excellent interviewer in that your thirst for knowledge and adept approach to questioning inspires deep thought before the questions that you ask are even answered. You have become my favorite source of truly thoughtful and inspiring content. Thank you.
Really amazing how David can explain things in such simple terms
Got introduced to Dr. Buss through the JP podcast, super happy to be hearing more from him! Thanks Lex
I think the one with Dr. Huberman is his best one out of the three I've seen him on (JBP, HubermanLab & Chris Williamson). 1hr into this one though, and Lex definitely has the most lighthearted one with his questions 😂
If you like this, you surely will like his book the evolution of desire aswell
I love the fact that Lex was taking notes on what women want😍
YESSSSS YOU GOT DR. BUSS! THIS is GREAT! Been a fan of his lately. I def recommend Dr. Buss interviews and books by him! I can’t wait to listen and watch this! THANK YOU 🙏🏽
I loved Dr. Buss’s conversation with Dr. Huberman, can’t wait to listen to this one!
This one is trash compared to the one Huberman did. Lex just keeps cutting him off.
I love that song! I could almost cite every word when you started reading it. … As a dancer most of my life… I’d add that a guy who knows how to dance (freestyle, tango**, west coast, two-step, salsa, or slow..) is a gift ! Dancing can be treasured for a lifetime in any country at any age.
Did u find a guy who dances then lol
Lex, you are a gem. Just listening to your opening monologue sets a tone for my day !
this is extremely fascinating...as much as I get trapped in my own little thoughts about my relationships, my dynamics with ppl, my perception about love, my experiences with falling in and out of love, the ideological intrusion that I had for a person...there is always a bigger picture about homosapien's biological evolvement and nuance of psychology of behaviours... it's so lovely... ah thank u so much for these amazing conversations...
I really love these conversations from your channel/podcast. Thanks Lex!
Lex you gotta have Gabor Mate on; just watch his talk with Tim Ferriss.
Yes, please!
One day I hope Lex surprises us and wears an Hawaiian Shirt
Please bring on Geoffrey Miller and talk about dating! He's my favourite evolutionary psychologist (and public intellectual), and a podcast he did with Tucker Max a few years back (called The Mating Grounds Podcast) is my favourite podcast of all time. He lives in New Mexico so I don't think it would be hard to get him to Austin (which is where they recorded the podcast).
This needs to happen. Mating Grounds Podcast was hugely entertaining.
I second the motion.
He’s friends with David Buss
Lori gottlieb is the goat is well check her out, she’s got a book pretty much telling women to lower ur standards.. she’s super smart and gives u hope, and confidence
The opening to this podcast is everything!!!! His humility!!!! 🤗
Have only listened to the intro so far and am already giggling. Love you Lex
Lex's silliness is what I am here for! I love it, stay playful Lex, thanks for all the thought provoking and throughly entertaining convos ❤
I love the subjects you explore! From the technical to the emotional... I feel like I grow with every podcast. Thank you Lex!
Totally agree about the vacation test. Used it on previous relationships with great success. The relationships didn't last but found out before things got too serious.
Man over 3 hours? Some will say waste of time. I would say invested . Enjoyed it from start to finish. Great respect ✊🏼 for both of you . Probably will watch again 👏🏼👏🏼
I'm 33. At 18, my mother passed. The week or so before her death, she put, "the sunscreen song" on the background of her MySpace. What. A. Gift. I often wonder what her input would be in situations, and that song is a great reminder of what it might have been
What a great thing to hear my favorite guy talk about.
I love watching Lex talk about love ❤️
As a robot Lex does a really good job of trying to understand mating love.
Depp and Heard are a classic case of trauma bonding. Finding recognition in shared shadow aspects or trauma wounds. Works great for common ground and understanding but badly when the relationship enables or even promotes stagnancy within self- awareness/growth due to enabling a negative trait they both can sympathize with. It’s always a dance of opposites and how well allow room for learning within any relationship. But it’s always ourself with a reflection of our self in the end. Loved this podcast! Thanks Lex!
@@catsaresocute650 Sure it may be an extreme case but it’s still the same dynamic. And victim mentality won’t help her much to the self assessment of why she’s attracted to that behavior. Essentially that’s what it is. If females keep playing victim in relationships they CONTINUE to engage in without realizing there is some mirroring happening, the cycle continues. In my humble and female opinion that is.
@@catsaresocute650 oh I escaped so I am well,thank you☺️ It’s not easy so I like to give advice on short cuts! Not for everyone of course…
LEX please put a montage of all your interview introductions together
this could be an excellent source for you to use when creating your book. . . And on that note self publish when you do create your book!!!
Just saying
Logging chapter titles of every video probably not a bad idea either.
Always with the tone of a funeral service
I'd listen to Lex's guests' advices for young people for 10 hours.
Loved how Lex weaved in such a great speech at the 1 hr mark :). He does this as a pattern to things very significant to him.
This was amaaazing thank you both so much and everyone else for being awesome
"do women care about biceps is what i'm asking" - LOL!!!
Well, that's a convoluted way to get dating advice Lex
That was really good! Thanks Lex for educating me with your podcasts!
We love you Lex - you can stop opening every podcast with an apology for your humanity now.
Serious and Silly is a perfect combo
Lex is always attaching the word love to EVERYTHING.
Good.
All we need is love.......
I took a class last year with Dr Buss at UT Austin, Human Sexuality. Best class ever , it was super interesting
Fascinating interview‼️👍🏻 @Lex, Thank You for all you do. It's a gift to humankind. 👏🏻
Lex was wildin in the funniest possible way 😂 great episode had a lot of good laughs!
Dude Lex, you the goat my man. I don’t care about your schooling or nationality, you are well educated person and out there, bam!
@@honey...salguod not everyone in the US or MIT is a genius like this guy. Having these conversations and doing the work, that is what I care about!
I just listen to anything with Lex'es voice 😀
This was a particularly fun podcast
I loved this conversation. Thank you!
Woo!! Now I can go on a 3 hour 12 km run! To get errands done!
4 km/h seems more like a walk than a run
The perfect episode for Mother's Day weekend, haha.
A very good question around 2:05:53 about the blalace between agency and communion. Thanks for that one!
Great content, first time actually listening to your stuff, as I've been watching cuts of it for like a year
Curious…we always mention the impacts of porn and masturbation on men but never with women. It almost seems like it is unexplored and ignored entirely, regardless of the fact that psychologically some of the effects men face with expectations, energy, and effort diminishment due to porn likely exist in women as well.
Exactly
I was just thinking I need some advice on dating because what I’m doing isn’t working! Thank you 🙏❤️
Thanks Lex… liked the subject matter & the guest. 👍
OMG this is a Sr! Really enjoy this conversation, he's so patient!
If one day Lex go home and find his woman being intimate with another man, it somehow occurs to me that he would calmly ask that man to a duel and break up with that woman regardless of the result of the duel.
Gun, sharpened edge or unarmed Is my question when I see that look in his eyes..
What in fanfic is going on here
Immediately chest punching
Why the duel? That guy just did Lex a favor. That hoe's gotta go.
he would respectfully asked him a deathmatch for shitting on his man honor. He would kill him then break up with woman.
Great stuff Lex. You are my favourite person on the planet currently. Please never stop this you make my day, I’m moving to Austin in 4 years after I finish college in Italy, and I hope to meet you someday
not until he dates and marry somebody. hopefully me😳 **wish me luck

Loved this interview and how it revealed things in my life I didn’t know were due to nature vs nurture. Excellent as always 👌
Such a good podcast!! I love how you explore these topics!
Rather disconcerting comment about the Lolita aspect of the film Lex, your comment seemed a bit salacious. I wish that your guest who also loved the movie, would have discussed this aspect of it in more detail
Thoroughly enjoyed this from the very beginning to the very end.
Great conversation! I wonder what David Buss thinks of arranged marriage? Still very common practice in Asia and up to 18th century in most of the world, it’s function is much more based on tribal and resource stability rather than individual match of quality. Still, a woman’s value in this context is derived by looks and mans by resources but there is just a more limited pool in terms of caste and ethnic group, maybe not so different ultimately
This has been one of his best episodes; very interesting topic! I enjoyed this content, e especially from a professional who has studied this for a long time. Thanks!
Excellent interview!
Wow, another fantastic interview!!! 🙏🙏🙇🏼♂️🙇🏼♂️World class, well done.
11:15 is lex at his best. I love the guy! "Yes"
I would love to see another interview with a philosophy professor, like Greg Sadler!
Yay new lex, always glad to see
Lex, you and I were born on the same day 8-15, only with many years in between. I am glad to have found your podcast. Thank you.
Hey lex you're doing a really good job! :)
THE BEST PODCAST on the internet, thanks for all your efforts Lex, I hope you bring Moran Cerf and Nick Bostrom(again) to the podcast in the future
This is not the best podcast, but it's up there. Like in the top 10.

Amazing conversation.
Lex eagerly... "what else, what else do women want..." 😄❤
It seems like for many studies people get asked abstract questions and it’s just what they think at that moment which isn’t necessarily a good indication of what is actually the truth. People give good sounding answers.
The topic of jealousy really fascinated me because my understanding was that that is the one thing that can ruin a relationship or a marriage, ie a spouse who is always jealous to the point of possessiveness of his or herpartner. Your guest says jealousness is a good sign but maybe he means in moderation.
I was also interested in Lex saying that he would attack the male, never his partner, and I couldn't really understand why the partner was exonerated because he did say that she had ( hypothetically of course) betrayed him. I would think that a man would want to punish a woman for betrayal or anyone who betrayed him actually in any way, shape or form.
What comes to mind are Italian movies that I saw back in the day where there was a lot of heightened emotion
& the make would physicalky attack his female partner if he found that she had betrayed him or even thought to betray him. I saw the movie when I was living in LA and everyone in the audience was Italian and they just thought it was great and exciting and I was just appalled by the violence that I saw between the man and the woman. Apparently they thought it was great & completely natural & tgey were laughing whike I sat frozen ?& horrified.
I think what would be an interesting study for the professor is to look at different cultures as to what they do in a case of jealousy, do they they attack the poacher or their partner who was actually on the verge of betraying them or had actually betrayed them? I wonder if certain cultures are prone to certain reactions, as I saw with the Italians, or whether it is an individual characteristic particukar to the individual person. I say that also because of course Lex has two bloodlines running through him-- Jewish and possibly Russian. MAYBE that's a Russian thing-- to challenge the male if his female partner has betrayed him-- or maybe Jewish or maybe just Lex! In all events, I would be very interested in seeing a study done on cultures in situations where jealousy has occurred and the reaction that follows on the part of the partners.
As an afterthought, I remember now that the women who were betrayed in Italian movies NEVER physically attacked the man but they simply took a knife and when he wasn't really aware of what was going to occur-- stabbed him dead. I found that difference in the two Smsexes as to how they reacted in Italian movies remarkable!
This was a really good episode. It inspired alot of ideas and gave me ideas to chew on. Thank you.
Excellent discussion; thank you Lex Fridman and David Buss.
This podcast has conversations that are just mind-boggling and they reassure one of how little her or she knows.
Thanks Lex
I love your voice Lex!!! Don’t let you’re haters bring you done. Only a smart man realizes he knows nothing… hence the curiosity. Love you!
Great podcast. I loved it!
This was awesome, thank you both so much.
Best exchange in a Lex Fridman podcast ever:
David Buss (offhand): I'm never going to murder anybody
Lex (quiet, understated): the night is young
I caught that and died laughing lol. I love lex
Is an interview with Helen Fisher, Anatomy of Love author, possible?
Very interesting conversation. Thank you.
