Mating intelligence : sex, relationships, and the mind's reproductive system
Human intelligence is sexually attractive, and strongly predicts the success of sexual relationships, but the behavioral sciences have usually ignored the interface between intelligence and mating. This is the first serious scholarly effort to explore that interface, by examining both universals and individual differences in human mating intelligence. Contributors include some of the most prominent evolutionary psychologists and promising new researchers in human intelligence, social psychology, intimate relationships, and sexuality. David Buss' Foreword and the opening chapter explore what 'mating intelligence' means, and why it is central to human cognition and sexuality
