Short description
Progressing from the first flirtatious moment of eye contact to the selection of a "mate," Dating - Philosophy for Everyone includes a number of playful yet relevant essays for anyone who has dated, is dating, or intends to date again. It offers fascinating philosophical explorations of topics such as: the taboos of dating and how to play the dating game; should science teach men how to attract women?; and the problem of having too much choice. The vicissitudes of dating and mating are explored from a number of perspectives, all of which will help demystify coupling in the 21st century for those young daters just entering the fray and those veterans returning to the game.
