Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Gender is shifting. But is gender disappearing? In the last century it was argued that men are from Mars and women are from Venus--but things have moved on a long way since then. In this timely new approach to the debate, Tom Whipple travels far and wide--from a Home Counties swingers' party to a gay penguin sanctuary in Germany--and draws on the latest studies in behavioral science as well as fascinating explorations into anthropology to present a surprising tale of expectations and mismatches. If you are currently single, this book is about your place in the dating market--your successes, your failures, and what they mean. If you are in a relationship, it is about why you chose the person you are with, why they chose you--and the circumstances in which either of you might put it all at risk and stray. In X and Why , Tom Whipple delves into the sexual subconscious to explain the inner workings of character and desire. It will change the way you see yourself and everyone around you.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Were we ever designed to be a monogamous species? Is it true that all women are bisexual? Is testosterone to blame for making men monsters? This is a book about the place where biology meets behaviour and where sexual differences in our bodies most closely translate into gender differences in the mind. In this timely twenty-first century reboot of the seminal bestseller Men Are From Mars, Women Are from Venus, Whipple travels far and wide from a gay penguin sanctuary in Germany to the headquarters of the world's biggest online dating agency in New York and draws on the latest studies in behavioural science as well as fascinating explorations into anthropology to produce a surprising tale of expectations and mismatches. If you are currently single, this book is about your place in the dating market your successes, your failures and what they mean. If you are married, it is about why you chose the person you are with, why they chose you and the circumstances in which either of you might put it all at risk and stray.
