date, playing it safe, and how sex can

your confidence and polishing your
social self

Feisty talk-show
shrink Dr. Joy Browne promises and delivers
here an exploration of "the evolution of
male behavior, from the primordial ooze to
the post-coital snooze." What are the real
differences between men and women, where did
these come from, and what can we do about
them to make relationships work? "Dr. Joy"
attempts to answer those questions in her
trademark spunky style. She points out many
(annoying) male traits that have their
foundation in biological evolution. For
example, the dominant "boss"
position--rocking back in his chair, feet up
on the desk, arms stretched back behind his
head--is equivalent to the chest thrust of
the alpha male gorilla! But Browne isn't
just interested in biological evolution
("that stuff makes glaciers look speedy"),
she's also interested in social evolution.
Browne explains how and why men react to
everything from making love to housework.
Browne, as
always, is informative and fun. Even her
chapter titles are peppy and amusing:
"Locking Horns" (conflict), "Roaring"
(communication), "Plumage" (appearance), and
"Going for the Kill" (money), for example.
She gives frequent advice to "Tarzan" or
"Jane," and includes comments in each
chapter about how boys are raised to be men,
and interesting tidbits about how male
animals act in the wild.
