“81% Of Women Said Yes. Only 58% Of Men Did.”

The gist

1. Nearly half of male friends in platonic friendships want to sleep with their female friend, and men consistently overestimate how attracted she is to them.
2. Williamson says men fall in love faster and suffer longer after breakups because they typically lack social networks outside the relationship.
3. Men in marriages want roughly twice as much sex as they are having, while women report the current frequency feels about right.
4. Williamson says around 95% of people trying polyamory lack the emotional skills needed, but mistake themselves for the 5% who can make it work.
