#68 | Differentiating Attraction Versus Bonding Between Men and Women

About This Episode

In this episode I share a high level overview of the different ways that men and women experience attraction and pair bonding based on their respective hormones. I discuss the foundational pull between the masculine and feminine poles and how the instinctual desires men and women have are related to the hormones they release at different times within dating and mating. I highlight the core four hormones: serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and vasopressin. I also address the perception that men do not desire commitment and get into what’s really happening in those situations.
