"Why do men and women talk so differently? And how do these differences interfere
with communication between the sexes? In search of an answer to these and other questions,
John Locke takes the reader on a fascinating journey, from human evolution through
ancient history to the present, revealing why men speak as they do when attempting
to impress or seduce women, and why women adopt a very different way of talking when
bonding with each other, or discussing rivals. When men talk to men, Locke argues,
they frequently engage in a type of 'dueling', locking verbal horns with their rivals
in a way that enables them to compete for the things they need, mainly status and
sex. By contrast, much of women's talk sounds more like a verbal 'duet', a harmonious
way of achieving their goals by sharing intimate thoughts and feelings in private."--
