If you've ever had a dating experience where you felt you coudn't control yourself or the eventual outcome, that was your genes compelling you to behave in a certain way.

We have evolved to enjoy the pursuit of love & sex through dating and relationships. In this episode Dr. Lisle discusses how we can optimize happiness in this area by beating our genes.
