Welcome back to the female dating strategy, the meanest female-only podcast on the internet.

I'm your host, Diana.

And I'm Rose.

And today we have a very special guest with us, Dr. Ashny Davle.

She specializes in animal behavior and her PhD is focused on examining the behavioral and cognitive adaptations of the lion-tail macaque in response to man-made

changes in their habitat. She is currently studying their behavior in Sulawesi, Indonesia. So, Ashley,

we're very excited to have you here because you claim that your past dating life may not be as

dramatic as the monkeys you study, but, you know,

we want to hear from you. We want to hear whether we're the more dramatic ones or whether

those monkeys are the more dramatic ones.

Hi, I'm so happy to be here and thank you for having me. Yeah, so I may not have a very

dramatic personal life. I think the monkeys are definitely more dramatic.

But let's see.

We'll see maybe as the conversation goes ahead.

Well, and Diana, I love how you nicknamed this episode, monkey business.

And I especially was just like, there are, you know, aren't we always telling people like, enough of that monkey business.

Like, cut out that tomfoolery one thing that we were talking about diana is you were saying why are we talking about alpha wolves when our closest

relatives in the animal kingdom are in fact the primates and this is when you said actually i have a friend

a very dear friend who studies this very topic should Should we see if we can interview her? So

Ashni, that's how this all came about. And we are just so delighted to have you here today. Thank you

so much. I'm so happy to be here. Thank you for having me and for inviting me on this extremely

special podcast. I can't wait to be a part of this. Diana, how do we get started?
