It’s better for WOMEN to be ADORERS: understanding the balance of attraction

In my model on the balance of attraction, I note that -- since it isn’t possible for two people to like each other exactly the same amount -- one person (the adorer) must like the other person more, and one person (the adored) must like the other person less. While these two positions are gender neutral, I make the argument in this episode that it is actually better for women to be in the position of the adorer. This is due to the fact that adorers experience the lion’s share of emotionality in a relationship, and women tend to mate and date up (suggesting that they actually want to look up to a man).
