๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Primal Dating: The Truth About Evolution, Power, and Why Leaders Fail at Love |Tim Ash


๐Ÿ”ฅ If elite leaders can close billion-dollar deals before lunch, why are so many failing at the most primal negotiation of all, lasting love?


๐Ÿง  Episode Summaryย 

Modern dating isn't broken because people are lazy; it's broken because our primal operating system is colliding with an unnatural environment. In this unsparing conversation, evolutionary psychology expert Tim Ash dismantles the myths about gender, power, and purpose.

.

We confront population collapse, the "sexual marketplace," shadow purpose, and why denying biological asymmetry is wrecking not just relationships, but also leadership and culture!


๐Ÿงจย  What You'll Learn

  • Why evolutionary psychology is the hidden operating system of every decision you make.

  • How denying male/female asymmetries fuels gender wars and broken partnerships.

  • The "sexual marketplace" explained: why most men are invisible and the top 10% dominate.

  • Why population collapse and inverted age pyramids threaten every economic model.

  • How Tim uses positive and shadow purposes to make life-and-leadership decisions.

  • Why testosterone decline, risk aversion, and cultural overlays cripple modern men.

  • The direct parallel between dating dynamics and executive leadership cultures.


๐Ÿงฌ The Big Questions We Tackle

  • Is civilization sleepwalking into collapse by ignoring biology?

  • Can culture override evolutionary asymmetry, or does denial always backfire?

  • What's your shadow purposeโ€”and how is it steering your leadership?

  • If most men are invisible, what does that say about competence, risk, and responsibility?

  • Why do middle-aged leaders often fail at relationships just as their careers peak?


Why It Matters for Leaders

Your primal wiring doesn't clock out when you walk into the boardroom. Risk, status, provisioning, and belonging drive decisions from mergers to marriages. Understanding this is not optional; it's a matter of survival. Ignore it, and you'll continue to lose trust, culture, and loyalty.ย
