INSIGHT

Dating Is Mutual Evaluation

  • Dating is a mutual information-gathering context where both people evaluate traits and signals.
  • The specific venue matters only insofar as it lets you display traits and connect through conversation and activities.
ADVICE

Pick Dates That Showcase Strengths

  • Choose dates that allow conversation, touch, and joint activities so you can display strengths.
  • Prioritize contexts that let you show traits, not expensive displays of wealth.
ADVICE

Don't Buy Attraction With Money

  • Avoid equating more spending with date success and sexual outcomes.
  • Build sustainable, repeatable date plans you can afford over months or years.
