Episode 294: It’s better for women to be adorers

In my model on the balance of attraction, I note that -- since it
isn't possible for two people to like each other exactly the same
amount -- one person (the adorer) must like the other person
more, and one person (the adored) must like the other person
less. While these two positions are gender neutral, I make the
argument in this episode that it is actually better for women to
be in the position of the adorer. This is due to the fact that
adorers experience the lion's share of emotionality in a
relationship, and women tend to mate and date up (suggesting that
they actually want to look up to a man).
