When Men Behave Badly The Hidden Roots of Sexual Deception, Harassment, and Assault

And his most recent book is the one that I'm reading now, which is called When Men Behave Badly. The Hidden Roots of Sexual Deception, Harassment and Assault.

It's a really important book, I believe, and one that doesn't just get into the darker aspects of human mating behavior and violence, but also strategies that people can take to ensure healthy mating behavior and relationships.

In my new book When Men Behave Badly I have a section on financial infidelity where I summarize all the research that has been done.

And then in this book, When Men Behave Badly, about some of the darker sides of human mating like intimate partner violence, stalking, sexual harassment, sexual coercion.

So that's what that book's about and I think it, you know, it's gotten well reviewed and people find it very useful in understanding what is otherwise a lot of baffling phenomena and why do men and women seem at odds with each other in so many domains, why do some of these recurrent forms of sexual conflict occur.

my most recent book is called When Men Behave Badly, The Hidden Roots of Sexual Deception, Harassment, and Assault. And that book deals with conflict between the sexes, sexual conflict.

His new book When Men Behave Badly, The Hidden Roots of Sexual Deception, harassment and assault was published in 2021 and it uncovers the evolutionary roots of conflict between the sexes.

men cheat and women like psychos that's what I took from the book am I missing anything?

it starts off with sexual selection and evolution being kind of like an arms race right there's these back and forth changes in species or in sexes to defend against reproductive it seems weird to say this but to defend slash get around the defenses can you give us an example you use the spider in the book?

I tell a story in the book where I was giving you talk in LA and my host picked me up in his Lamborghini and the second he pulled up to the curb all the baggage handlers all came out wanted to take selfies of themselves with the Lamborghini I don't know you know if they went I posted those on Facebook or on their internet dating accounts but you get that yeah that makes sense I'm it's hard to say there's sort of this inexplicable tendency for a lot of men to just be like I saw this car here's me near this car that I saw but you're right it's the subtext is I have access to this car in some way right otherwise what's the point that you just saw something that I can find on Google it doesn't really make a lot of kind of logical sense if you're not assuming there's a there's a nexus there that they want other people to assume even if they're not even thinking about it consciously

I remember when I wrote my first book the evolution of desire strategies of human mating I had this whole section on on the importance of food and meat and feeding the woman and so forth and I gave it to one of my graduate students who circled that and he said the David meat is neat but liquor is quicker

it was a traumatizing to write so i devote two chapters to that one on sexual coercion where i look at the male psychology that drives it and then one on women's defenses against sexual coercion which i think is really the most important chapter of the book

it's like you have steering wheel under two pairs of hands on the steering wheel one pulling in one direction the other pulling in the other direction these co-evolutionary arms races occur in many domains that I talk about in the new book on the mating markets you have deception on the mating market sexual conflict within mating relationships once they form sexual conflict over whether a breakup will occur sexual conflict in the aftermath of a breakup and then I also talk about as a broad brush overview talk about a sexual harassment in the workplace stalking an intimate partner violence and sexual assault and women's defenses against sexual assault

it's the causes anxiety depression post-traumatic stress self isolation sexual assault is just one of the if not the most one of the most horrific things that you can do to another individual to a woman but therefore it's especially important given its prevalence
