Episode notes
INSIGHT

Body Count Correlation Is Confounded

  • Low body count correlates with lower divorce rates, but causation likely ties to religiosity and social pressures.
  • Virgins-at-marriage are rare, so sample effects matter heavily.
INSIGHT

Different Patterns Behind Infidelity

  • Men more often cheat for opportunity or compartmentalized needs; women more often cheat after emotional dissatisfaction.
  • Men's affairs frequently don't aim to replace their primary partner, while women's can become new primary relationships.
ADVICE

Give Up Winning To Sustain Love

  • Stop treating relationships as finite games to win; play the infinite game by avoiding scorekeeping and winning-at-all-costs.
  • Prioritize longevity and adaptability over short-term victories.
