The marriage ultimatum: it's not personal, just business
Giving ultimatums in relationships, especially for marriage, is not effective and can create conflict, as it prioritizes personal wants over love and can lead to a transactional approach to relationships Questions to inspire discussion Why are men struggling with the ultimatum of marriage? —Men feel pressured and compared to being in a situation where they are not attracted to the woman but want to have sex with her.

How to RESIST becoming EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED: get a poker face
It is extremely important that men resist becoming emotionally attached to any given woman until she has been appropriately vetted for a relationship. If they allow their attraction to dictate their emotional involvement, then they might eventually have to choose between what is right and good for them, and what they have already decided to love. This is a painful choice that can be avoided with a little restraint and discernment.
The trap of why: how to break out of obsessive rumination
In the wake of a significant loss, it's human nature to search for meaning: "why did this happen?" And while this question can produce some useful answers, the process of questioning should always be limited and time-bounded.

While evolutionary psychology can be incredibly useful in explaining much of modern mating and dating preferences, it fails, in my opinion, to adequately appreciate the influence of status on intersexual dynamics. The standards of attractiveness fluctuate (somewhat) from generation to generation and from culture to culture; however, what remains constant is the collective selection of some subset of partner traits considered to be "desirable." Attracting a partner with more of these traits -- irrespective of how arbitrary or superficial those traits might be -- generally redounds to increased survival and prosperity.
