Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes?: Bodies, Brains, and Behavior---The Science Behind Sex, Love and Attraction Audiobook

" Very entertaining. Even tough there are a lot of details and scientific fact, it doesn't read like a science book, the author uses humor to make this a very enjoyable read. It makes a great coffee table book. "

" I am fascinated with behavioral economics, stimulated by Malcolm Gladwell and Dan Ariely's excellent contributions. This book continues the discussion from yet another viewpoint. It is not as scientifically written as the others but is very accessible and compelling. There are several revelations not found elsewhere. If you're interested in what drives human behavior and decision-making, this is a fine read. "

" It was an interesting exploration of human attraction. I enjoyed it but I'm about 20 years older than the target audience- most of the Q&A was skewed toward those who haven't yet bred. A little fluffy, which fact was telegraphed by the purple type throughout. But fun. Worth a look, especially if you're twenty-something. "

" Mildly amusing, but definitely the People magazine version of science writing. Instead of taking one topic and researching it in depth, as Mary Roach does, this author glosses over a myriad of topics related to sex, love, and attraction. Each one gets at most 2 pages and every entry ends with a "funny" quip. "

" I was hoping for a more scientific look at physiological responses to sex and attraction. What I found was more of a beginners guide to your body. I thought the author was also so specific about her audience that she ended up alienating some readers. Female, 18-25, Heterosexual. "

" While this books claims to be about the neuroscience and physiology of love and sex it reads more like a self-help book targeted to single women. My reaction to the book is no doubt colored by that, but overall it was pretty meh. "

" I didn't finish this book because of the sexist remarks and terrible puns! "

" I picked this book up on a whim. It was actually very interesting, and had a few tests you could do to rate your own "matability" "

" The evolutionary reasons behind male and female behavior is fascinating. Whether you are male, female, heterosexual or not, you're bound to enjoy this book. "

" Lovely. Sex and the human brain: taking it apart, seeing how it works, and putting it back together again. We really are just big dumb animals, folks. Some of us bigger and dumber than others... "

" This was a lot of fun to read. I picked it up because I thought it would help me better portray things like flirtation and relationships in my own writing. It's written in a conversational tone, and not very science-y, but it was quick and informative for my purposes. "

" I loved this book! Every question & answer was fun & interesting. "

" LOVE this book! It gets into all the subconscious reasons we're attracted to certain people, and what happens when we fall in love. Clue: smells, shapes, hormones, genes, and body language have a lot to do with it. "

" This was an excellent book that went into the biology of attraction. The author used both psychological and neurological studies to explain differences in attraction and sex among the sexes. "
