Document Summary

Fascinating and complicated relationships that bind us together. Male and female differences: focusing on mating preferences. Generally, men think more than women about sex, and men are more likely to think that casual sex is acceptable. Men who had the trait of promiscuity were more likely to have their genes continue, and even spread, in the next generation. Greater sexual dimorphism in size/strength between males/females. Females more discriminating in choice of mate. For both men and women the top 3: Earning potential, status, ambitiousness are rated important. Each culture has norms-standards for acceptable, expected behaviour. Eww, you wear your shoes from outdoors right into the house? . Culture shock: feeling lost about what behaviours are appropriate. Biological: women enter puberty earlier, live longer and have more fat and less muscle. Women are more likely to have depression, anxiety or eating disorders. Men are more likely to have autism, adhd and antisocial personality disorder.
