Re. male / female sexual attraction vs fantasy, the general behavioral pattern looks something like:
stable::unstable
scalable::unscalable
accessible::rare
love::lust
Mapping to male perception as:
beautiful::hot
And female as:
competent::dominant
Thoughts @BretWeinstein?

I’d watch the whole interview, but this is the bit that triggered these thoughts: https://youtu.be/YB7Kc1yxTS0 A bit difficult to unpack it all on Twitter, but perhaps after you give that a watch we’ll have more shared context for discussion.
Great vid. I'm seeing a short-term vs a long-term mating strategy play. Those playing the Hotness (women) /Dominance (men) angles are trying to aim high and fast. I can see this in the PUA tactics (convince women that you're much higher in the dominance hierarchy than them).

Meanwhile, long term mating strategies would require convincing the partner that you have key attributes for a successful partnership in child-rearing or survival: Beauty (Love/Support) or Strength (Stability/Ability).

End goal is maximizing reproduction and survival, taking quantity and quality into account.
