How Sex Ratios Affect Human Behavior
25:38 - 35:54 (10:16)
A study on how sex ratios affect human behavior showed that men adjusted their behavior more than women due to the greater emphasis on numbers over quality in men's mating strategy, but the effect was stronger among men than women.

Summary
The sex ratio of an environment does not seem to impact dating preferences, according to a study that tested different manipulations to give people the impression of a good dating environment. The study found that the proliferation of beautification and sexy selfies do not depend on the local ecology sex ratio.

Summary
This episode explores the relationship between sex ratios and short-term mating, including the idea that men are more affected than women. This theory suggests that in populations with more men than women, men are more likely to pursue short-term relationships and have more sexual partners.

Researchers used simulation models to better understand how salary discrepancies affect success in marriage, specifically under hypergony, a general rule where women typically marry up.

Summary
Researchers used simulation models to better understand how salary discrepancies affect success in marriage, specifically under hypergony, a general rule where women typically marry up. The simulations measured behavior in relation to differing salary metrics and found that the success of pairing for male and female actors depended greatly on what they earned and what their prospective partners earned.
