Dr. Wendy Walsh: The Science of Love & Modern Relationships | FULL EPISODE | We’re Out of Time - Video

On this episode of We’re Out Of Time, host Richard Taite sits down with Dr. Wendy Walsh—renowned relationship expert, psychology professor, author, and host of The Dr. Wendy Walsh Show. Known as one of the most trusted voices on the science of love and human behavior, Dr. Walsh breaks down why relationships aren’t about luck, but skill—and how biology, psychology, and culture shape who we love and why.

Dr. Walsh explains why love is often about familiarity rather than happiness, unpacking attachment patterns that lead people to repeat the same relationship mistakes. She dives into the modern mating marketplace, exploring the oversupply of successful women, the decline of ambitious men, and how the high-supply sexual economy has reshaped dating, commitment, and desire.
