But in this informative new episode with world-renowned evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller (who I became a fan of when I saw him on Joe Rogan years ago), we break down why this crisis is is so alarming — and crucially, what young men can do to practically improve their dating life based on evolutionary wisdom.

I'm so glad to be an old, married Gen Xer - can't imagine diving into the modern dating market.
I'm, really old school. A baby Boomer! My husband died in 2007. Was with him, since the age of 17. There was no way I wanted to go through that again. Been asked through the years. It took several years to heal from my loss. I most likely will stay living with my oldest son and catering to him. It's easier!
