The Score: How the Quest for Sex Has Shaped the Modern Man Hardcover - 2008
by Faye Flam
A smart, witty, and fresh look at themale side of the male-female relationshipfrom a science writer and sex columnistat The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Beginning with a 'boot camp' for wannabe pickupartists where men pay thousands of dollars for threedays of classroom seminars on how to get women intobed Faye Flam's quest for a deeper understanding of mentakes her back through the evolutionary history of the humanmale.
Sweeping from the birth of the first male and female organismsto the sexual foibles of twenty-first-century humans, Flamshows how a small difference in the size of the first sperm andeggs set off a war between the sexes that we're still fightingtoday. Since this primordial split, a consistent pattern of behaviorhas emerged: males use a stunning variety of strategies tomake themselves attractive to females, and females put themthrough the wringer.
By placing the human male in the context of the naturalworld, Flam highlights some intriguing resemblances amongmales of all species, but also the unique challenges that menface when courting women whether for a lifelong partnershipor a one-night stand. Flam ultimately reveals that millions ofyears of evolution have left the love lives of humans suspendedsomewhere between monogamy and promiscuity, and that it isthis eons-old tension between males and females that has createdthe modern man.
