Grab Its Not You, Its Biology.: The Science Of Love, Sex, And Relationships Illustrated By Joe Quirk Accessible In Edition
this book so much! I have no idea why people in general think that just because someone isn't a 'scientist' that they do not have the basic ability to research and compile scientific information and present it in an entertaining manner as he has.
I mean, it's not like the author is making the stuff up, As usual, what certain demographics in the population 'want' to believe, is different to what is 'actually' the case,
Ah well, as they say, 'people prefer a lie they like, to the truth they do not, '
I've read this book four times over so far, and not only is it highly educational, it's also hilarious, I've recommended it to friends, and everyone liked it, one even commented that it was one of those books that changes your whole view on life, and I can only agree.
Not many books come along like that in a lifetime,
Loved it, loved, loved it, so hard!! What a terrible book, As he says, he's a fiction writer exploring biology without credentials, Some parts are good but just as you're beginning to see where he's coming from, he throws in his own wild ideas, If this is intended to be humorous, bravo, Otherwise, avoid. Long story short, this book provides little if you are not yet familiar with evolutionary biology and psychogenetics to no value, There are better options out there,
I am not sure whether this book was supposed to be a collection of random stories which the author was clearly trying to make them sound funny he did succeed though at couple instances or as the name suggests, a book about evolutionary biology and psychogenetics.
I generally try and get a rough idea of what a book provides by going through few reviews for books, as you guys already know take a lot of time and effort.
But the title just made dive right in, It was not a pleasant experience, The first nonfiction book and the list and was recommended by two of my best friends who are also sex addicts and took biology, Its a very quick and easy read, partly because its written more in a novel format so that almost anyone could pick it up and understand it also it has very short chapters, but also partly because its just such a fun and interesting book answering questions youd never really ask or even Google unless you were really curious and bored but always wanted to know.
And not just the Cosmo answer, but an actual scientific answer,
Embroiled in the science and studies, Quirk also lives up to his name haha because I found that I most enjoyed it because of his little sarcastic and wonderfully worded quips and observations or summations about certain concepts or those that have already been introduced then supported in the chapter.
He seems to effortlessly weave in humor to what would otherwise be mundane statistics, See the favorite quotes section below if you dont believe me, The selfdeprecating stories also personalizes the facts so it doesnt read very much like a textbook,
An entertaining and surprisingly informative book that leaves you with a little less cynical view of the dating arena and the opposite sex, It explains everything from weird attraction to infidelity to bitches and douchebags, Plus, it works as a great conversation topic for anyone interested in sex which, lets face it, is everyone and everything its connected with, Just be careful when you read it in public you might be caught reading chapters entitled “How Men Get Sex,” “Why Youre So Horny,” or “Why Your Clitoris is Hard to Find.
” Simply the best explanatory and funny biology book ever read! Witty and Funny, Sticking with this book from beginning to end took some effort, Quirk comes off as an arrogant, biased and amateur evolutionary biologist, His humor took awhile for me to "get" because the writing seemed like an even mix of using anthropological and scientific words to sound smart and offthewall humor, I'm not sure if he eased up, or I got used to it,
As far as content, he repeats himself a lot to drive home points he's trying to make, He also goes on tangents and makes wild jumps from one thing to another some I didn't feel were fully explained, However, he did bring up some valid points and expanded my views, This book is not for those who are easily embarrassed or offended, As much as Quirk refers to people as homo sapiens, he also refers to men as sperm shooters and spreaders and women as womb bearers and protectors, Not at all what I was expecting, تظهر الدراسات أن الرجال العائدين إلى منازلهم من رحلة طويلة ينتجون كمية هائلة من الحيوانات المنوية تصل إلىأكثر! في أول جماع لهم مع شريكاتهم بعد الرحلة. إذا رأى الرجال شريكاتهم كل يوم فإنهم ينتجون كمية معتدلة من الحيوانات المنوية. كلما طالت مدة بقاء المرأة بعيدا عن الأنظار كلما زاد حرق الذكر للطاقة بهدف زيادة إنتاج الحيوانات المنوية.
لا تحاول العديد من الحيوانات المنوية الوصول إلى البويضة لكنها تنطلق في مناورات منع حتى تتمكن الحيوانات المنوية الرفيقة من الوصول إلى البويضة المرغوبة. يبدو الأمر إلى حد كبير مثل فريق كرة قدم أمريكي يمنع لاعبي الفريق الآخر.
يتطور هذا العمل الجماعي بطبيعته لسبب واحد: التنافس ضد فريق آخر. لكن أين الفريق الآخر يبدو الأمر كما لو أن الحيوانات المنوية تعتقد أن هناك مجموعة أخرى من الحيوانات المنوية الناتجة عن شريك آخر محتمل وتحاول أن تمنعها من تلقيح البويضة.

It's Not You It's Biology
Translated By MaherRazouk This book was given to me as a gift by my friend, Eric, whom I had once told that 'Men and women just operate differently.
' I was excited to read it and once I got into it I found it just to be a tad more sciencebased than humorbased and not exactly aligned with my view on love, sex, and relationships.
Quirk takes the stance that men are
made to spread the seed to as many as possible and women are made to protect the womb from all but a select few.
I found the facts about the sexual activity and orientation of various species to be interesting but the whole thing felt very cynical to me until I got to the very last chapter about falling in love from a biological standpoint.
I found that chapter to be very insightful, The idea that our genes end up controlling us rather than the other way around is a fascinating idea that I had never thought of before, It was probably this chapter alone that saved this book from astar rating, I'm even looking into Quirk's other book, Tools Are From Men Talk Is From Women: Why the Other Sex's Brain Is Weird, I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the hard science concerning human motivation when it comes to the other sex, It was very informative and the humor throughout was refreshing and kept me from feeling like I was in a biology lecture, Science and Humor! An interesting glance into what makes up behave like we do in our love/sex/relationships, The narrative was really entertaining, quite funny at times, It's not a deadserious scientific book, but it teaches you quite a lot of interesting stuff, Corny and sometimes lame approach from Quirk attempting to explain sex from an evolutionary biologists pedestal, This is a good beginner book for the field of evolutionary psychology, It is catchy and it explains a lot about ourselves, It explores many topics and it is not a hard scientific book, I can not say that all it says is scientific but I think this book gives you valuable biological perspectives, Probably there is an answer to all your questions related to sex and relationships in this book! It's the best Science book I've read so far!
Yes, I call it 'Science'.
The author's claims seem absolutely legitimate in spite of his hilarious script,
I think I now understand Evolution better than ever,
I could give the author/for his brilliant sense of humour,
I found myself laughing out loud multiple times while reading the book, Mind you, I listen to George Carlin without much of a snigger, So this is huge.
True to the Author's surname, it's a quirky book, I highly recommend it. .
