Don't get me wrong I don't despise the guy, his theories on things like depression are amazing, however I cringe when I see these lectures (below), because he is just so clinical as to why or how women select partners... there is no mention of love, or friendships that develop into partnerships. It's all very base and Freudian, 'women don't want losers' 'there are more male losers than female'... I don't agree with that losing is on a sliding scale with esteem, sometimes you're up and sometimes down. I can't help but feel he has women wrong here. But it's this narrative that feeds certain personalities to think ' hey, it's not me that has to reevaluate my life, it's the women with the issue!'
