Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes? by Jena Pincott
Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes?: Bodies, Behavior, and Brains–The Science Behind Sex, Love, and Attraction is the sort of book I normally enjoy: a review of psychological studies linked to corresponding real life experiences. But I didn’t enjoy this one. It’s too depressing to realize that we are that shallow. The author makes a point of it being men vs. women, which contributes to the depressing air of the book, but we’re all human and some of the ways in which women suck are sprinkled in there too.
So men really like big breasts and women really like big bank accounts and maybe there’s nothing we can even do about it because it’s programmed into our genetic code, but I don’t think I need to read about it anymore. Thankfully, we are not all the average. I can find a man who loves my big brain and moderate boobs and can love his short stature and moderate earnings right back.
Also, the book was printed in purple. I could have hated it for this alone.
