What Women Want - What Men Want

What Women Want--What Men Want offers compelling new evidence about the real reasons behind men's and women's differing sexual psychologies and sheds new light on what men and women look for in a mate, the predicament of marriage in the modern world, the relation between sex and emotion, and many other hotly debated questions. Drawing upon 2000 questionnaires and 200 intimate interviews that show how our sexual psychologies affect everyday decisions, John Townsend argues against the prevailing ideologically correct belief that differences in sexual behaviour are `culturally constructed'. In spite of socioeconomic gains of women, it seems that the sexes are still being swayed by evolutionary constraints and emotional alarms that remind them of how to make mating and marriage choices.
