I chat with a top relationship researcher who shares shocking data on what actually leads to a compatible, successful relationship. If you want to know if you've found the one, or what you should actually be looking for while dating, this episode is for you. Dr. Paul Eastwick is a professor of psychology at UC Davis. He has led dozens of studies on the science of attraction, and he's the author of the best-selling book Bonded By Evolution. In this episode, he shares the real data around the relationship questions or thoughts we've all had.

Bonded pair Meggie and Laura (your hosts, besties, parabatai, etc.) have done it: they have finished the final book in Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments Series. Sound the alarms! Set the fireworks off! Contain your Heavenly Fire! Tell a friend!!! ITS FINALE TIME.  Sebastian's plans for Shadowhunter domination are (unfortunately) going very well. When everyone is summoned to shelter in place in Idris so the Clave can plan what to do next, Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Simon and Alec take matters into their own hands and venture into the demon realm. 

Donald Trump has a lot going on. He’s pulling the last U.S. aircraft carrier out of the Pacific, Iran says the latest agreement is dead, and Americans are getting crushed by the cost of groceries, gas, and health insurance. But what does Trump really want? To travel around with Natalie Harp and build his ballroom. Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell are here to discuss Trump and Natalie’s very special bond, while the rest of the country interrupts their quality time. Plus: UnitedHealth is posting record profits while your premiums go up; Trump is still obsessing over his ballroom and George Washington; someone stepped on his precious grass and he’s demanding answers; and the "Donald Trump Hates You" campaign keeps rolling. Oh, and there’s a Trump diaper video. Dead Air is back. Tune in!

The episode reveals a structural shift toward permission-based operational models, where access and capability are not determined by technical proficiency alone but by explicit, revocable permissions from state or corporate authorities. This model is illustrated by the recent U.S. federal initiative authorizing select private cybersecurity firms to conduct offensive operations against foreign criminal organizations—an approach that mirrors the historical "letter of marque" by granting a new legal status rather than developing new technologies. Parallel dynamics are visible in the IT service provider space, with vendors such as Microsoft moving to strictly time-bound, role-scoped delegated admin permissions that can be revoked or altered unilaterally. The most consequential development is the August 12 presidential memorandum authorizing private U.S. companies, under contract with the Department of Justice or Homeland Security, to perform cyber surveillance and effect operations against specified foreign criminal targets. Firms must pass technical, security, and personnel vetting, declare outside contracts, and post a $1 million bond forfeitable upon non-compliance. Every action requires written dual approval by program directors. Importantly, the legal basis relies not on statutory change but on an executive memorandum that grants a temporary agency status to participants, a mechanism untested in court and revocable with any change in administration. Related developments reinforce the thesis of permission-based dependency. Microsoft's overhaul of its partner governance—removing perpetual global admin rights in favor of time-limited, role-based permissions—has made MSPs' delivery capabilities contingent on timely recognition and acceptance of new terms set by Microsoft. Amid this, operational pressure is rising as AI-driven vulnerability finding systems, like those used by Microsoft and cataloged in the NIST National Vulnerability Database, are producing flaw volumes that outpace existing tracking infrastructure. Together, these shifts make permissions and vendor terms—not technical gaps—the central variable in the sustainability of service lines. For MSPs and IT leaders, the practical implications are clear: operational continuity is increasingly determined by upstream permissions and the specificity of contractual terms rather than local technical controls. Vendor dependence has expanded beyond product functionality to include granular, revocable access rights shaped by external schedules and policies. Effective risk management now requires tracking the origin, mechanism, and expiration of every operational permission, establishing owner accountability, and proactively reviewing vendor and governmental agreements. Organizations failing to systematize this will face unplanned service interruptions and remediation costs dictated by external authorities. 00:00 The Bond and the Vetting  04:31 Congress Grants Those 07:47 Whose Permission Are You On? 11:05 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  ScalePad Proofpoint 

The Truth About GFCIs — UL 943, Floating Generators, Bonding & Current PathsThere may be more misconceptions about GFCIs than almost any other electrical safety device.Does a GFCI need an equipment grounding conductor to work?What does the toroidal sensing coil actually monitor?Why might a GFCI behave differently on a truly floating generator?And what happens when a bonded-neutral generator is connected to a dwelling through an interlock where the neutral is not switched?In this episode, Paul Abernathy breaks down the actual operating principles behind UL 943 Class A GFCIs and explains why understanding the current path is far more important than simply memorizing terms like “grounded,” “bonded,” or “floating.”We explore how a GFCI compares current leaving and returning through its monitored conductors, why an equipment grounding conductor is not required for differential-current sensing, and why a GFCI should never be thought of simply as a device that “detects current going to ground.”You'll also learn why a truly floating generator may have little or no first-fault current path, how a second fault can completely change that condition, and why connecting a generator to a dwelling can change its electrical relationship to ground.Then we tackle one of the most misunderstood generator issues in the trade:Bonded neutral vs. floating neutral.If a generator is connected through an interlock or transfer arrangement that does not switch the neutral, the generator neutral remains connected to the dwelling's grounded conductor system. Adding another neutral-to-ground bond at the generator can create parallel paths for normal neutral current through equipment grounding and bonding conductors.We also cover:How a GFCI's toroidal current transformer actually worksThe difference between GFCI protection and overcurrent protectionWhy a GFCI can work on a circuit with no EGCWhy “GFCI protected” does not mean “equipment grounded”Why touching hot and neutral can still produce a dangerous shock without creating a GFCI-detectable imbalanceWhy some plug-in GFCI testers may not operate properly on an ungrounded circuitThe difference between the integral TEST button and an external testerFloating generators and first-fault conditionsBonded-neutral generatorsSwitched vs. unswitched neutralsSeparately derived generator systemsParallel neutral-current pathsWhy a ground rod is not the normal branch-circuit fault-current return pathHow grounding, bonding, GFCI protection, and fault-current paths all work togetherThe goal of this episode isn't to replace one electrical slogan with another.It's to teach you how to draw the circuit, follow the current, and understand what the protective device actually sees.Because when you understand the current path, the misconceptions surrounding GFCIs, generators, grounding, and bonding start disappearing.Current out.

Every couple has to learn how to accept their differences. But when you're in a neurodiverse relationship, those differences aren't just quirks; they're completely different ways of experiencing the world. In this episode, we're getting real about love, autism, and how to actually understand each other in a conversation with psychologist and author Dr. Cindy Ariel, who drops by to chat about her book, Autism and the Two of Us. Cindy brings so many incredible insights to the table, including what autism actually is and why neurodiversity is just a normal variation of the human brain. She also gets into the nuances of identity-first vs. person-first language and why those choices matter, and busts some major myths and talks about redefining what "typical" love even looks like. Tune in for a genuinely eye-opening conversation on love, connection, and neurodiversity!Listen and Learn: Framing neurodiversity as the natural spectrum of variation in human minds Why the assumption that autistic individuals cannot sustain meaningful partnerships is a misconception The need to move away from standard expectations of romantic behavior, and why neurotypical and autistic partners often express love in vastly different ways Actionable insights on how partners can translate each other's emotional signals to build deeper connections How neurodiverse and neurotypical partners often interpret the same situation in vastly different, yet equally valid ways Moving past rigid expectations and deadlocks by co-creating custom, "third-way" solutions that meet both partners' unique emotional and practical needs Overcoming the "closeness communication bias" by learning to treat your partner how they want to be treated rather than relying on default assumptions Navigateing deep neurological differences by letting go of diagnostic labels and distinguishing between normal incompatibility versus toxic behaviorResources: Autism and the Two of Us: Love, Communication, and Neurodiversity https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/autism-and-the-two-of-us-how-understanding-each-other-can-help-you-build-a-stronger-lasting-love-cindy-n-ariel/b92004b21dec8780?ean=9781462560189&bkshp-astro=t alternativechoices.com Pre-order Yael's book and get pre-order bonuses!

Are we being lied to about the science of attraction?In this episode, UC Davis relationship scientist and author of Bonded by Love: The New Science of Human Attachment, Paul Eastwick, challenges the massive online narratives around "mate value," hardwired gender differences, and dating strategies. It turns out a lot of the viral relationship theories we see online are built on shaky evidence, relying on photos and surveys rather than real, live human interaction.Paul explains why what we say we want on paper almost never predicts who we actually fall for in person. He redefines compatibility not as a rigid trait-matching algorithm, but as something unique that two people construct together over time.If you're ready to look past the internet's rigid dating rules and see how attraction actually works in the wild, tune in.[And if you are interested in pre-ordering Yael's book, Why Don't You Understand Me?, this link will take you to the larger booksellers, while THIS link will take you to her pre-order bonus form.

His work sits at the intersection of evolutionary psychology, social psychology, and close relationships research, meaning he has spent his career asking why people fall for who they fall for, and whether the stories we tell ourselves about that process hold up to scientific scrutiny.His new book, Bonded by Love: The New Science of Human Attachment, makes a sweeping argument: the dominant narrative about human mating — attraction as hierarchy, competition, genetic optimization — isn't just incomplete. It's wrong in ways that matter. The real science of how humans form lasting bonds is, if anything, more interesting and more hopeful than what we've been sold.His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, he sits on the editorial boards of several major psychology journals, and he has the rare combination of scientific rigor and personal candor. Paul is also the co-host of Love Factually, a podcast he runs with Northwestern relationship researcher Eli Finkel, which fact-checks Hollywood rom-coms one movie at a time (and which happens to be one of Yael's favorite binge-listens).Related Episodes:63.

Check the website here: http://enlites.com/ RECORDED ON JUNE 17th 2026.Dr. Paul Eastwick is Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Davis. His research investigates how people initiate romantic relationships and the psychological mechanisms that help romantic partners to remain committed and attached. One of his research programs examines how the qualities that people say are critically important to them in a romantic partner - their ideal partner preferences - direct partner selection and retention. He is the author of Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and Connection. In this episode, we start by criticizing the three pillars of the evolutionary psychology of mating. We discuss whether pursuing a “short-term strategy” influences someone's long-term relationship prospects. We discuss whether dating apps are realistic. We talk about the association between evolutionary psychology and the manosphere, and we speculate on the traits of evolutionary psychologists. We talk about the contemporary issues of loneliness, sexlessness, and singlehood, and the causes behind them.

Frank talks with psychologist Paul Eastwick about the science of attraction, attachment, marriage, and long-term companionship.Drawing from his book Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and Connection, Paul challenges the idea that relationships are mostly about status, dominance, or “mate value.” Instead, he argues that humans evolved for bonding, caregiving, emotional support, and mutual dependence.The conversation also explores online dating culture, the manosphere, sexuality, compatibility, and why people often misunderstand what makes relationships work._____LINKShttps://pauleastwick.comhttps://www.lovefactuallypod.comOur June It Has to Be Read. offering,Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and Connection on BookshopI have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.

Dr. Paul Eastwick is a Professor at UC Davis where he runs the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory. Dr. Eastwick's research investigates how people initiate romantic relationships and the psychological mechanisms that help romantic partners to remain committed and attached. He is one of the hosts of the Love Factually podcast. Today we discuss his 2026 book Bonded by Evolution - to explore the science of romantic attraction, dating, compatibility and long-term relationships.We discuss why the idea of “mate value” can be misleading, how dating apps encourage us to judge people too quickly, why looks and status matter less than many online dating gurus suggest, and why real attraction often develops slowly through repeated interaction, shared experience and emotional connection.The Love Factually Podcast: https://www.lovefactuallypod.com/Interviewed by Dr. Alex Curmi.

"지원씨, 혹시 제 에어풀장 봤어요?"En: With a smile but a bit cautiously, Sujin asked, "Have you seen my inflatable pool, Jiwon?"Ko: 지원은 깜짝 놀랐다.En: Jiwon was surprised.Ko: 그는 풀장을 본 적이 없었다.En: He had never seen the pool.Ko: 그러나 수진의 실망을 막기 위해 얼른 화제를 바꾸었다.En: However, to prevent Sujin from being disappointed, he quickly changed the subject.Ko: "이번에 새로 그린 그림 한 번 보세요."En: "Take a look at the new painting I just finished."Ko: 수진은 지원의 정원으로 따라 들어갔다.En: Sujin followed Jiwon into his garden.Ko: 지원이 그린 그림은 아름다운 색감으로 가득했다.En: The painting was filled with beautiful colors.Ko: 수진은 잠시 잊고 그림 감상에 빠져 있었다.En: Sujin momentarily forgot about the pool and got lost in the appreciation of the artwork.Ko: 그러던 중, 양쪽이 풀장에 대해 잊어버리고 있을 때, 정원 한쪽에서 '퍽!' 하는 소리가 났다.En: While both momentarily forgot about the pool, there was a "thud!" sound from one side of the garden.Ko: 둘은 놀라서 소리가 난 곳으로 달려갔다.En: They rushed to the source of the sound in surprise.Ko: 그곳에는 한 마리의 다람쥐가 있으며, 에어풀장을 뚫고 있었다.En: There, a squirrel was poking through the inflatable pool.Ko: 풀장은 이미 괴상한 소리를 내며 꺼져가고 있었다.En: The pool was already deflating with a strange sound.Ko: 수진과 지원은 서로를 바라보며 웃음을 터트렸다.En: Sujin and Jiwon looked at each other and burst into laughter.Ko: 그제야 둘은 웃으며 진정하고, 이번 일의 진짜 범인을 찾아냈다.En: It was then that they calmed down with a laugh, having uncovered the real culprit of the incident.Ko: 해종이 끝나고, 수진은 지원에게 그림에 대한 아이디어를 몇 가지 내주었다.En: Afterwards, Sujin gave Jiwon some ideas for his paintings.Ko: 지원은 그녀의 발랄함을 조금씩 이해하게 되었고, 수진 역시 성급한 결정을 내리지 않기로 마음먹었다.En: Jiwon gradually began to understand her liveliness, and Sujin decided not to make hasty conclusions.Ko: 햇살은 여전히 따뜻했고, 정원에선 새가 지저귀었다.En: The sunlight remained warm, and birds chirped in the garden.Ko: 그렇게 두 사람은 서로의 차이를 인정하고, 웃음으로 갈등을 푸는 하루가 지나갔다.En: Thus, the day passed as the two acknowledged their differences and resolved their conflict with laughter.

I had so much fun reading psychologist Paul Eastwick's book Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and Connection. A lot of his work reveals the enduring myths that are engrained in our culture and our minds about attraction, compatibility, gender differences, and relationships—and why these myths have been somewhat mistakenly connected to evolutionary psychology. The way he debunks these myths is so helpful, and also very entertaining, I think, whether you are single, dating, or in a relationship. Today, he shares some great hot takes on the apps; the significance (or not!) of first impressions, what's behind compatibility and lasting attraction, how same-sex friends work, infidelity risk factors—and much more.

Two stories about what the body holds onto and what it eventually gives back. Ali Mac took a job in crypto after two years of Nazi death threats courtesy of Fox News. At the Miami Bitcoin Conference in 2022, she finds herself escorting her boss down a hallway and comes face to face with Tucker Carlson, broadcasting live, sitting very low, blissfully unaware of what is about to happen to him. (Content note: death of a partner) Gordon Blitz had been with his partner Scott since 1973, through an informal wedding, years of infidelity Gordon never told anyone about, and the terrifying early years of the AIDS crisis. "Bonded" follows Gordon through an HIV test, a week of waiting, and the long, complicated road of caring for the man who put him at risk.

Both fail the test.” I'm reformed, I'm evangelical, I'm catholic, I am Baptist, I am a Calvinist…why not Christian Reminds me - I am of Paul; I am of Apollos.  1 Corinthians 3:4-9:  4For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human? 5What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 6I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. 9For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building. Fellow Christians (regardless of denomination) - Let us come reason together Unity of the Body of Christ for His work The enemy loves to divide. “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity” - Rupertus Meldenius Key Text: 1 John 4  Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit[a] of truth and the spirit of falsehood. God's Love and Ours.7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister. How do Christian men discern truth without becoming tools of deception or hatred? God demands we test the spirits (v.1) Confess Christ rightly (v.2-3 Listen to apostolic truth (v.6) Love as evidence of knowing God (v.7-21). Confronting the two ditches History (Brief Overview) Early Church: Mixed – some respect for Jewish roots, but supersessionism/replacement theology grew No longer Jew nor Gentile, but the Church and the world  Justin Martyr, later hardened replacement theology Led to disdain, pogroms (violent, mob-driven attacks—typically riots involving looting, assault, rape, murder, and destruction of property—targeted at a specific ethnic or religious groups.)  Martin Luther's later writings (On the Jews and Their Lies) exemplify tragic failure of love. Reformation/ Puritans: Varied; some future hope for Jewish people (pre-Darby).  John Nelson Darby (1800s, Plymouth Brethren) systematized dispensationalism:  distinct Israel/Church track  pre-trib rapture  literal futurist readings  Popularized via Scofield Reference Bible (1909). Fueled 20th-century evangelical support for Israel. Zionist movement: Jewish political nationalism (Theodor Herzl, late 1800s) responded to European antisemitism. Christian Zionism often overlapped but with eschatological motives. Scofield influence: Shaped views of unconditional land promises. Post-Holocaust: Shifts toward Philo-Semitism (the admiration, respect, or obsession with Jewish people, culture, or history, often by non-Jews) in reaction to Church failures, but some swung to uncritical political allegiance. Modern swing: Newly Reformed / postmillennial / reconstructionist circles reacting against shallow dispensationalism by over-correcting into ethnic suspicion or outright antisemitism.  Examples:  Holocaust minimization “Zionist Occupied Government" echoes Treating all Jewish influence as cabal-like.  This is not discernment – it's another false spirit. Practical tests for Discerning information from 1 John 4 (This is the point): Does the source confess Christ preeminent - Love the Lord your God with everything  or push fear/hate/nationalism as gospel? Does it promote love for neighbors?  Prayer for enemies? Cross-reference history, primary sources, multiple views – not echo chambers. To "Reformed" Bros: Opposition to dispensational errors is fine; becoming ethnic scoffers is apostasy from apostolic love. To Zionists: Israel's existence isn't carte blanche; critique policies Biblically. This is one area - lots of other ditches  Women's role / value Poet and Warrior Both: Media profits from division. Web algorithms radicalize.  (1 Thess 5:21). but test everything; hold fast what is good.

Host Rashidah celebrates Mother's Day on “Autism for Badass Moms,” honoring the sacrifices and advocacy of autism moms, and introduces a conversation about sibling love and connection in an autism household. Guest Brittany Saunders, from University City, St. Louis, shares her journey raising Mason (10), who is non-verbal and diagnosed with autism in 2019, and Savannah (7). After initial denial, Brittany pursued occupational, speech, and physical therapy, noting Mason's growth, love of technology, and emerging communication. Brittany describes how Savannah naturally built a fierce, supportive bond with Mason—encouraging him in therapy and school, defending him, and helping with routines—while Brittany also remains intentional about giving Savannah individual attention. Brittany discusses future planning, self-care, her village, faith, and her work and baking, including social handles and a planned spectrum-friendly party offering.In this episode, we discuss:00:00 Badass Moms Welcome00:43 Mothers Day Tribute02:45 Why Sibling Bonds Matter04:17 Meet Brittany Saunders06:10 Early Signs And Denial08:26 Diagnosis And Therapy Grind12:01 Finding His Voice13:28 School During COVID14:37 Savannah The Champion20:03 Explaining Autism To Siblings26:15 Future Planning And Independence34:34 Making Savannah Feel Seen37:33 Shout Out Grandma 39:36 Family Village Support42:13 Sibling Bonding Moments44:17 Sibling Rivalry Realities46:40 OCD Loops Meltdown51:56 Puberty New Challenges54:00 Self Care Quiet Time01:00:29 Finding Brittany Online01:04:41 Advice For Struggling Moms01:07:44 Badass Mom Wrap Up01:11:42 Guest Call To Action Connect with Brittany: Instagram: www.instagram.com/livelovelifewitbritFacebook: Brittany Saunders Instagram: www.instagram.com/britsblessedbakedgoodsBusiness Email: britsblessedbakedgoods@gmail.comIf this episode resonated with you, don't forget to:-Follow the podcast-Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform-Leave a review to help us reach more autism moms across the globe-Share this episode with a mom who needs to hear thisInstagram: www.instagram.com/theabmpodcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/theabmpodcast

On this episode, Irina and Michelle welcome UC Davis psychology professor Dr. Paul Eastwick who is the author of the recent book "Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and Connection". Paul debunks the idea that there is such a thing as an "alpha" man or woman and emphasizes the importance of compatibility in romantic relationships. He explains how the manosphere has distorted ideas from evolutionary psychology and why online dating has detracted from the values that actually make relationships work. If you want to learn more about how people who date casually a lot are no worse marriage material or why Paul thinks men benefit from female friendship, listen in!

hun hadde hemmelige følelser for Eirik, noe hun lenge hadde holdt skjult.En: But it was more than a sense of community that drew her to the farm; she had secret feelings for Eirik, something she had long kept hidden.No: Men en morgen, bare dager før festivalen, våknet de til en overveldende lyd.En: But one morning, just days before the festival, they awoke to an overwhelming sound.No: Vinden ulte utenfor, og en voldsom vårstorm truet med å ødelegge alle forberedelser.En: The wind howled outside, and a violent spring storm threatened to ruin all preparations.No: Regnet øste ned, og bakken ble raskt omgjort til søle.En: The rain poured down, and the ground was quickly turned to mud.No: Det var en alvorlig situasjon.En: It was a serious situation.No: Frustrasjonen kunne sees i alles ansikt, men Maren nektet å gi opp.En: Frustration could be seen on everyone's face, but Maren refused to give up.No: "Vi kan ikke la en storm stoppe oss," sa hun bestemt.En: "We can't let a storm stop us," she said determinedly.No: "Vi må flytte den innendørs og gjøre det beste ut av det vi har."En: "We have to move it indoors and make the best of what we have."No: Eirik nikket, imponert over søsterens besluttsomhet og styrke.En: Eirik nodded, impressed by his sister's determination and strength.No: Sammen med Solveig begynte de å reorganisere.En: Together with Solveig, they began to reorganize.No: De ledet an arbeidet med å pynte den store låven, sette opp bord og lys, og til og med arrangere plass til musikken.En: They led the effort to decorate the large barn, set up tables and lights, and even arranged space for the music.No: Da stormen raste utenfor, samlet Maren, Eirik, Solveig og landsbyboerne seg inne i låven.En: As the storm raged outside, Maren, Eirik, Solveig, and the villagers gathered inside the barn.No: Maren stilte seg opp foran alle og delte noen varme, oppløftende ord.En: Maren stood in front of everyone and shared some warm, uplifting words.No: "Vi er sterkere sammen," sa hun med glød.En: "We are stronger together," she said passionately.No: "Denne festivalen er for oss alle."En: "This festival is for all of us."No: Det var kaldt utenfor, men inni låven var det varm glede og latter.En: It was cold outside, but inside the barn, there was warm joy and laughter.No: De delte mat, danset og festet til langt på natt.En: They shared food, danced, and partied late into the night.No: Det ble en festival som styrket fellesskapet på måter ingen hadde forutsett.En: It became a festival that strengthened the community in ways no one had foreseen.No: Eirik, som tidligere hadde vært skeptisk, så nå hvor mye slike samlinger betydde.En: Eirik, who had previously been skeptical, now saw how much these gatherings meant.No: I løpet av kvelden, mens musikken spilte, tok Solveig mot til seg og gikk bort til Eirik.En: During the evening, while the music played, Solveig gathered the courage to approach Eirik.No: "Jeg har noe jeg vil fortelle deg," sa hun nervøst.En: "I have something I want to tell you," she said nervously.No: Eirik smilte og ventet spent.En: Eirik smiled and waited eagerly.No: Da Solveig endelig delte sine følelser, svarte han med samme hengivenhet.En: When Solveig finally shared her feelings, he responded with the same affection.No: Festivalen som nesten ikke ble noe av, hadde likevel klart å bringe dem alle litt nærmere hverandre.En: The festival that almost didn't happen had nevertheless managed to bring them all a little closer together.No: Maren innså hvor viktig det var å søke hjelp og støtte fra de rundt seg, mens Eirik så verdien av fellesskap og kjærlighet.En: Maren realized how important it was to seek help and support from those around her, while Eirik saw the value of community and love.No: Våren hadde virkelig kommet med vekst og nye begynnelser, på flere måter enn én.En: Spring had truly brought growth and new beginnings, in more ways than one.

Dr. Adam Dorsay hosts UC Davis psychology professor Dr. Paul Eastwick to discuss his book "Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and Connection" and what research shows about attraction and relationship longevity. Eastwick contrasts stated mate preferences with what predicts attraction and satisfaction in real interactions, highlighting the importance of feeling supported and subjectively finding a partner sexy, even long-term. They discuss how vulnerability, listening, and reciprocal disclosure can spark early intimacy, and how an evaluative “shopping” mindset can undermine dating. Eastwick argues humans are a pair-bonding, often serially bonding species, citing motivated biases that favor current partners and genetic evidence suggesting low historical nonpaternity rates (~1%). They cover mixed-gender friendships as predictors of later relationship formation, relationship “construction” around shared elements, research on consensual non-monogamy (including jealousy/compersion differences), similarities across same- and mixed-gender couples with contextual challenges, and the value of grace during breakups.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:28 Why Attraction Matters02:20 Traits That Predict Love03:56 Support and Desire05:28 Keeping Sex Alive07:57 Vulnerability Is Attractive10:00 Dating Without Judgment13:59 Monogamy Myths17:09 Biases That Protect Bonds19:47 Jealousy and Infidelity21:48 Humans as Pair Bonders24:45 Infidelity Context25:19 Mixed Gender Friends29:16 Relationship Growth Tips33:31 Jealousy And Polyamory38:29 Same Sex Relationship Data40:12 Dating Apps To Groups43:47 Graceful Breakups Skill47:30 Final Thanks And WrapHelpful Links:Paul Eastwick, PhDBonded by Evolution Book

In dating, finding “the one” might be easier if you stop assuming “the one” will be a perfect match. Paul Eastwick is professor of psychology at UC Davis, where he serves as the head of the Social-Personality Psychology program and the director of the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why we need to look past imperfections when choosing a mate, why what we know about evolutionary biology has been exaggerated, and the pros and cons of dating apps.

The dating industry profits by exploiting your insecurities. Bonded by Evolution author Paul Eastwick brings science to prove that even you can land love!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1309What We Discuss with Paul Eastwick:The concept of "mate value" — the idea that everyone is a fixed number on a scale of attractiveness — is largely unsupported by science. Studies show people only agree about who's attractive roughly 65% of the time, meaning a full third of the equation is purely subjective. Your "score" depends heavily on who's doing the scoring.Dating apps force people into artificial filtering habits — like screening for height or income — not because those traits genuinely matter in face-to-face attraction, but because users are drowning in options and need some way to narrow the pile. In speed-dating studies, traits like height barely register as factors when people are actually interacting in person.Your romantic partner likely sees you through a generous — and scientifically real — perceptual lens. Partners in happy relationships tend to rate each other as more attractive than outsiders would, and they instinctively "derogate alternatives," meaning they perceive potential rivals as less appealing. These biases aren't delusion — they're relationship glue.The "evo script" — a set of ideas spun out of 1990s evolutionary psychology — overstates gender differences in attraction. Research shows that when men actually meet ambitious women face-to-face, they find them more attractive, not less. The gendered "money-for-looks" tradeoff doesn't hold up either — women trade resources for attractiveness just as often as men do.Compatibility isn't something you discover on a profile — it's something you build in person. Give potential partners at least three dates in three different contexts, use fewer filters, and treat early dating less like an evaluation and more like a collaboration. The science says the best relationships often grow from repeated, low-pressure, real-world interactions — so get offline, get curious, and give people a real chance.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

My guest today is Paul Eastwick, a social psychologist and professor at the University of California, Davis, whose research focuses on attraction, romantic relationships, and the gap between what we think we want and what actually unfolds in real life. His latest book, Bonded by Evolution, challenges a lot of common assumptions about dating and compatibility.In this episode, we explore: Why many of our inherited “rules” about attraction—like mate value, having a type, or alpha/beta dynamics—don't hold up in real life  How attraction is far more dynamic and often grows over time rather than appearing instantly  The gap between what people say they want in a partner and who they actually choose  How context (social environments, timing, even a first kiss) plays a powerful role in shaping connection  What dating apps get wrong—and why real-life networks and shared spaces matter more than we think  How loosening rigid expectations allows attraction and relationships to unfold more naturally Thank you all for checking out the episode!

Dating apps make it seem like you can swipe your way to the perfect partner. But attraction isn't something we can fully predict from profiles. It emerges through interaction. So what happens when we try to optimize something that's inherently unpredictable? In this episode, we break down the psychology of online dating and how to approach it more effectively. I am joined once again by Dr. Paul Eastwick, a Professor of Psychology at UC Davis, where he serves as the head of the Social-Personality Psychology program. He hosts the popular podcast Love Factually with his long-time colleague, Eli Finkel, where they analyze rom-coms and romantic dramas from the perspective of relationship science. Paul is also author of the new book Bonded by Evolution. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: Why might using multiple dating strategies improve your odds? Can AI predict attraction better than we can ourselves? How accurate are first impressions on dating apps? Is there an optimal timeline for meeting in person after matching? What strategies lead to healthier online dating experiences? You can check out Paul’s website to learn more about his work. Got a sex question?

Most of us think we know what we're looking for in a partner. We have a “type,” a mental checklist, and the belief that if someone checks enough boxes, everything else will fall into place. But decades of research suggest that attraction and compatibility don't work that way. In this episode, we'll unpack how attraction really unfolds and why chemistry is so hard to predict. My guest is Dr. Paul Eastwick, a Professor of Psychology at UC Davis, where he serves as the head of the Social-Personality Psychology program. He hosts the popular podcast Love Factually with his long-time colleague, Eli Finkel, where they analyze rom-coms and romantic dramas from the perspective of relationship science. Paul is also author of the new book Bonded by Evolution. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: What's the link between what we say we want and who we actually fall for? Do we really have a “type” when it comes to romantic partners? Why is it so hard to predict whether two people will feel a spark? How can we improve our chances of finding a compatible partner? How much does long-term satisfaction depend on initial compatibility? You can check out Paul’s website to learn more about his work. Got a sex question?

Ask frequent flyers what bothers them most about air travel and you might be surprised by the answer. It's not turbulence, cramped seats, or bad food — it's the other passengers. This episode begins by revealing which behaviors irritate fellow travelers the most and what people wish would stop happening at 35,000 feet. https://pro.morningconsult.com/analysis/airplane-etiquette-annoying-behaviors What brings two people together romantically has always been a mystery — and today, it's more complicated than ever. Dating apps offer endless options, yet many people struggle to find meaningful connection. What actually predicts long-term attraction? What matters less than we think? And what do science and history tell us about love, choice, and compatibility? Paul Eastwick joins me to explain how attraction really works. He's a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, director of the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory, and author of Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and Connection (https://amzn.to/49RrGS0) Most people pursue goals with a clear payoff — something they hope and expect to achieve. But some people dedicate their lives to goals they know will never happen. Why would anyone do that? What sustains them? And what do these impossible pursuits reveal about meaning, purpose, and fulfillment? Journalist Mark Medley shares remarkable stories of people chasing futures they'll never live to see. He's author of Live to See the Day: Impossible Goals, Unimaginable Futures, and the Pursuit of Things That May Never Be (https://amzn.to/46fV95J). And finally, think about all the surfaces your phone touches — tables, counters, public spaces. Then think about where that phone goes when it rings – your face. We wrap up with what science says about phones, germs, and what that means for your skin and health.https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/beauty/how-smartphones-damage-your-skin-5-ways-to-protect-against-blue-light-and-bacteria/articleshow/124968775.cms PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Refresh your wardrobe with Quince!

AJ and Johnny sit down with Paul Eastwick, relationship scientist and author of Bonded by Evolution, to unpack what modern dating has gotten wrong — and what the science actually says about love, attraction, and connection. They explore how online dating has distorted our view of desirability, why the search for “the perfect person” makes us miserable, and how real connection comes from shared time, not algorithms. Paul breaks down how our brains evolved for small-group bonding — not endless swiping — and reveals the truth about compatibility, attachment, and the misunderstood “friend zone.” From evolutionary psychology to modern dating anxiety, this conversation is a masterclass in how to build real relationships in a world built on comparison.
