Welcome to
Mating Straight Talk!
Please join our conversation about relationships, male-female differences, sexuality, and gender politics within a scientific and evolving cultural framework. If you are curious about human mating behavior and evolutionary psychology, you are in the right place. You will also find “straight talk” about attraction, sexual psychology, and heterosexual mate choice.
The About page explains and illustrates the mission. The pages under the Mate Selection Science, Straight Talk Fundamentals, and Resources menus provide an essential foundation and context for the blog posts. Dive in and explore!
I look forward to connecting with you.
