INTERESTING essay/article from Tucker Max's new book (c-written by Dr. Geoffrey Miller), "MATE: Become the Man Women Want,"

describing, fully and accurately, I believe, for the first time anywhere, what it's like to be the lesser, weaker, slower, shorter, fatter, dumber, submissive two-fifths of a heterosexual dyad in a sexually dimorphic species like homo sapiens sapiens; in short, what it's like to be a woman: Exciting but scary.  No wonder at all that the quality most sought after by women in men is "having a sense of humor."  Hyperactive, over-muscled psychotics with a sense of humor are less likely to kill you than grimly serious ones.

So, our authors' explanation of why "honesty" and "truth-telling" aren't even on the table in the first, social interactions of the sexes is plausible and persuasive; what they fail to account for is why, besides wanting to fuck them, men take any interest or pleasure in the low-level, patently absurd and quite stupid games that women insist on playing.
