Table of ContentsReviews'Highly informative and engaging, David's Buss' Bad Men is an insightful, sensitive and honest examination of the sources of sexual conflict and ways we might be able to reduce its harms. He does this by elucidating the sex differences in our evolved sexual strategies, the result of sex differences in optimal mating strategies. He delves into the dark side of male mating behaviour but also offers approaches that call attention to the sex gap and how a better understanding of it can help craft policies to reduce or prevent harms that women disproportionally bear. An essential read' - Catherine Salmon, author of Warrior Lovers: Erotic Fiction, Evolution, and Female Sexuality 'In Bad Men, once again David Buss delivers with his ability to take the most complicated and disturbing of topics and make sense of it. In characteristic fashion, he supports his analyses on the mysteries of sexual conflict with solid research yet presents it in an intriguing and entertaining fashion. While demonstrating that bad sexual behaviours have evolved as part of our fundamental psychology of sex differences, Buss underscores such behaviours are not inevitable. Understanding these behaviours and why they evolved is a necessary and critical step in preventing their perpetuation. This bold and honest look at sexual conflict lays the foundation for better behaviour. A must read' - Cindy M. Meston, professor of clinical psychology, University of Texas at Austin and co-author of Why Women Have Sex 'Bad Men applies the hard lens of science to the most contentious and painful issues of our time - stalking, malicious seduction, sexual harassment and sexual assault. The result is an eye-opening perspective on the deep history of men harming women. David Buss explains which types of men are most likely to be perpetrators, and why women can be so devastated by the results. He never explains away this behaviour, but instead explains it with the hope that a deeper understanding can help solve these problems and free future generations of women from the ever-present fear that we've been forced to accept as part of life' - Faye Flam, author of The Score: How the Quest for Sex Has Shaped the Modern Man 'If you want to understand our minds, you must understand the evolutionary past which forged them. And if you want to understand our sexuality, all the more so. There is no better guide for this than Professor David Buss, one of the country's leading evolutionary psychologists. This theoretically grounded book has countless vivid examples and offers a wide-ranging account of the origins of human sexual behaviour and its modern manifestations, helping to make sense of so many troubling behaviours. Insightful and provocative' - Nicolas Christakis, author of Blueprint: The Evolutionary Origins of a Good Society 'Brilliantly shines a scientific light on our most intimate, and often uncomfortable, entanglements. I highly recommend it' - Dr. Wendy Walsh, 'America's Relationship Expert', host of the podcast Mating Matters and the Dr. Wendy Walsh Show on iHeart Radio, author of The Boyfriend Test, The Girlfriend Test and the 30-Day Love Detox Author InformationDavid M.
