About this listen
If we all want love, why is there so much conflict in our most cherished relationships? To answer this question we must look into our evolutionary past, argues prominent psychologist David M. Buss. Based one of the largest studies of human mating ever undertaken, encompassing more than 10,000 people of all ages from 37 cultures worldwide, The Evolution of Desire is the first work to present a unified theory of human mating behavior.
Drawing on a wide range of examples of mating behavior - from lovebugs to elephant seals, from the Yanomamö tribe of Venezuela to online dating apps - Buss reveals what women want, what men want, and why their desires radically differ. Love has a central place in human sexual psychology, but conflict, competition, and manipulation also pervade human mating - something we must confront in order to control our own mating destiny.
Fully revised and updated to reflect the very latest scientific research on human mating, this classic work of evolutionary psychology explains the powerful forces that shape our most intimate desires.

A Book That Should Be Read and Revisited Every Year by Everyone
There is so much wonderful, deeply analytical and factually supported information in this book. I will be turning to the front and starting all over again. It unravels the complexities in our behaviours to reveal the simplistic evolved motivations. Spectacular.

A nice look at the reality of sexuality
It is great to be confronted with explanations of your own strategies you may have used in the sexual marketplace. It can make you squirm, but it is wonderful to have someone as tenured as David M.Buss bring these realities to the forefront.
I will be sure to work my way through his catalog.

Fantastic reading, driven by our ancestral past
Extremely fascinating, straight to the point in each chapter. The one downside for me, was an overload of statistical data dumped into chapters
