The Man's Guide to Women: Scientifically Proven Secrets from the "Love Lab" About What Women Really Want by John Gottman
lighthearted
medium-paced
1.5
Read as I was mostly curious to get in the brains of men trying to bridge the gap with their experiences with women.
Generally speaking the ‘lessons’ left me pleasantly surprised - the underlying thesis can be boiled down to the idea that women are attracted to and actively seek out safety, which is true in my anecdotal experience. The reason for the low level was mostly because this thesis led the author to centre around biology and bio essentialism - I’m not sure the author understands the phrase ‘correlation does not equal causation’. The “science” and misrepresentation of science was extremely irritating to read as a physical scientist.
