Above and beyond short-term mating, long-term mating is uniquely tied to human personality | Evolutionary Psychology

2

Delightful read. It’s very accessible to laypeople like myself. (Audience, click through the PDF - it’s not dry and academic, it’s written in a palpable, human story voice)

What I learned (ie: the executive summary of the first couple pages):

  • Extroverts are more inclined to pursue both long term and short term (extramarital) relationships & implications
  • Words with sexual undertones (“alluring”, “sexy”) were dismissed from personality psychology and were added back to the study of evolutionary psychology as a tool to assess sexual strategy.
  • Vocabulary of the day: SOCIOSEXUALITY.

… and I barely got to read any of it.

I hope others will take a glimpse at some of this GREAT STUFF and post some of their summaries like I have! That way, all the busy people of the world can access these gems without spending hours digesting one thing.

Thanks for posting, Jedi Nights!
