About this episode

On this week's episode, we chat with data scientist, law enforcement consultant, and social phenomenon writer Dr Vincent Harinam on the sexual marketplace, hypergamy and structural impediments within the dating landscape. Dr Harinam unpacks the drawbacks of simping, dominance hierarchy and the trends that exist within evolutionary science. We expand on the patterns that contribute to finding a viable mate and the alluring qualities of the ‘dark gentlemen’ the ‘chad’ or the ’khalood’. 

 

Get ready to challenge preconceptions and structural impediments within the dating landscape.
