  1. 1. Decoding Love

    Why It Takes Twelve Frogs to Find a Prince, and Other Revelations from the Science of Attraction

    A brisk tour of the science behind attraction, mate choice, and commitment, blending economics, game theory, and evolutionary psychology to explain why people date the way they do. Drawing on studies of speed dating and online profiles, it punctures romantic myths, shows how markets and signaling shape who pairs up, and why timing, options, and bargaining power matter. It offers research-backed guidance on common dilemmas—searching vs. settling, cohabitation vs. marriage, and sustaining long-term satisfaction—along with pragmatic strategies for improving odds in the modern dating marketplace.
