Is this guy married? I ask because he is believed to be an expert in dating and such, but one must look at his personal merit with the ladies before being giving him such a title.

He is NOT an expert in dating. He is trying to explain the whys of dating. Why do women prefer wealthy men? Why do men prefer young women? Why do we feel jealousy? His arguement is that these are evolved behaviors shared by all humans, not merely cultural effects. 75.0.55.108 00:40, 26 April 2007 (UTC)T
You seem to be asking if he is a successful player. He is now 54 years old and I'd doubt very seriously if he weren't married. Regardless, one does not have to be a zookeeper to be a professor of biology. As the previous user mentions, his focus is to explain common human mating behaviors through evolutionary psychology, of which he is nothing short of a founding member.--Loodog 02:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
You should check out his website where he has yearly photographs with his grad students. Most of 'em (guys as well as girls) seem pretty hot!--NZUlysses 22:40, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

It seems from the narrative that he went from an assistant professorship at Harvard to a full professorship at UMich, which I suppose is not inconceveable, but unlikely at any rate.Tychoish 23:49, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
