There's intelligence involved in mating? Until recently,
evolutionary psychologists have considered human mating behavior to
be universal and similar to other animals, painting a picture of
human mating as visceral, animalistic, and instinctual. But that's
not the whole story. In courtship and display, sexual competition
and rivalry, we are guided by Mating Intelligence, or the range of
psychological abilities designed for sexual reproduction. Mating
Intelligence is at work in our efforts to form, maintain,
coordinate, and terminate relationships. It guides us in
flirtation, foreplay, copulation, mind-reading, mate search, mate
choice, and many other behaviors that may have reproductive
payoffs. In Mating Intelligence Unleashed, psychologists Glenn
Geher and Scott Barry Kaufman take a fascinating tour of the
intersection of mating and intelligence by drawing on cutting-edge
research on evolutionary psychology, intelligence, creativity,
personality, social psychology, developmental psychology,
neuroscience, epigenetics, and more. Along the way, they shed new
light on age-old questions, such as: Can humor compensate for
less-than-matinee looks? Why do artists have more sexual partners?
What role does personality play in the mating domain? What traits
influence attraction? How do people choose mates? How do men and
women deceive each other? How important are kindness, compassion,
and understanding? What about emotional intelligence? Do nice guys
really finish last? This book will change the way you think about
sex, dating, love, and the human mind.
