review 1: Nothing particularly new (i.e., men are biologically engineered to want to sleep around, women want a strong protector for their offspring, and preferably one with a square jaw), but with references to back up the findings. Aware or them or not, there are these evolutionary/biological forces that influence our decisions, choices, and who we're attracted to. Was hoping for a little more insight or additional revelations. Pretty easy to read, but found some of it a bit dry.
review 2: The author takes a lot of studies about attraction, dating, and relationships, and presents them in a fun easy-to-read format. What I enjoyed most about the book were all the strange scientific facts and cultural studies included. Attraction works in odd ways! Unfortunately I didn't ... moreenjoy the "if you are a woman, you should do this" dating advice-- most of the time that rubbed me the wrong way. And a section on game theory was so unclear I abandoned the book for a month...but coming back to it, the last section on marriage redeemed it. I enjoyed how he argued that marriage is hard and isn't always the end-all-be-all, and the practical advice he gave on maintaining long term relationships; something you don't always see in just a dating book. This book was going to get two stars, but that bumped it up to three. Overall an interesting read if you ignore the "advice" throughout. less
