About this product
Product Information
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. John Townsend draws on 2000 questionnaires and extensive quotations from 200 intimate interviews to show how deep-seated desires and emotions guide our actions in dating, sexual relationships, and marriage. Townsend argues against the politically correct belief that differences in sexual behavior are "culturally constructed," and shows that these differences are universal and rooted in our evolutionary past. In a fascinating series of experiments, men and women were asked to indicate preferences for potential mates based on their attractiveness and apparent economic status. Women preferred expensively dressed men to more attractive but apparently less successful men, and men chose more attractive women regardless of their professional status. Townsend also found that men are inclined to value casual sexual relations, whereas women cannot easily separate sexual relations from the need for emotional attachment and economic security. Lucidly and accessibly written, What Women Want--What Men Want brings new clarity to one of the most intractable debates of our time.

Reviews
"A well-written, well-researched, and fascinating read."--Library Journal"Townsend has focused on some very interesting test cases--in particular, women medical students who anticipate having high status and high incomes, and extremely sexually active women. These seemingly exceptional cases are exceedingly interesting, because they prove (test) the rules. Townsend's basic message is that the sexes are not more similar than they appear, they're less similar; they are not becoming more similar now, and they are unlikely to become more similar any time soon."--Donald Symons, Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Santa Barbara"John Townsend's interviews constitute a useful addition to the rapidly growing literature on the evolutionary psychology of dating and mating, laying bare just how different the goals of women and men remain."--Marin Daly, Psychology Department, McMasters University, Ontario, "John Townsend's interviews constitute a useful addition to the rapidlygrowing literature on the evolutionary psychology of dating and mating, layingbare just how different the goals of women and men remain."--Marin Daly,Psychology Department, McMasters University, Ontario, "Townsend has focused on some very interesting test cases--in particular, women medical students who anticipate having high status and high incomes, and extremely sexually active women.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
