In this path-breaking book Anna Arrowsmith analyses gendered dating
behaviour and shows how men's behaviour is both defined and
illustrated by societal norms that require a particular masculine
performance, including those desired by potential female
performers. Using the case-study of pick-up artistry which is
compared to interviews with other men who date women, this book
analyses how the men deal with conflicting ideas borne out of
living in an age when both hegemonic (harder, historic) and
inclusive (softer, modern) masculinities co-exist. It asks whether
men acknowledge their own insecurities or whether they focus on
perceived external triggers, such as female culpability as a means
of ignoring their own concerns, or, whether men respond to
insecurities by focusing on an active process of overcoming them.
Through exploring male experiences of female beauty, emotions,
fertility, strength, female violence and sexual assault,
Arrowsmith's findings encourage a new path of enquiry in gender
studies which explores and includes men's words as central to
interpreting their behaviour and how it is understood. This book
has political worth as it differentiates and delineates between
emotive and often misogynistic demands for an entire rethink of the
gender order by some men's rights activists and a genuine need to
incorporate male insecurities and psychological experiences in how
we understand gender to be structured and performed, as a means to
increase equality.
