I think I read it in here: The Evolution Of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating
There is lots of research that correlates violence with mating success but it is often very controversial. The Evolution of Desire by David Buss has tons of interesting data on this stuff and research is quite robust. It was something close to 40,000 people studied across nearly 40 different cultures.

>@SexyIsntSexist You Liked my last post, so here's my question. What are the bodies each sex is attracted to at large? As in, how thin, etc.?

>@RejeKab perfectly healthy for a sexually reproducing species. Womens gaze just as prominent in all cultures. More feminist nonsense

>@SexyIsntSexist So, you agree with what that soapboaxing girl in the comic on the left says?

>@RejeKab No, I didn't read that. The success of traditional romance novels (and films) tells us a lot about evolved female psychosexuality

How about The Evolution of Desire? (https://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Desire-Strategies-Human-Mating/dp/046500802X)
I haven't read it, but my ex boyfriend recommended it, and he found it on TRP
> It's bullshit and I don't understand that piece of my psyche.
It's because we evolved that way. If you want to know more I suggest checking out The Evolution of Desire. It will blow your mind.
Well, it's relevant in the sense that this genetic logic governs how most people interact with each other. That's why women want their man to be monogamous. If he cheats, and there is another kid by some other woman, he will have to take care of the other woman's baby and her baby, which splits his resources and leads to less for her baby.
This is the most concise source.
G,G&S is probably the most influential book I've ever read. I only wish I read it sooner.
As far as sexual strategy literature; as someone else mentioned, The Red Queen is a great read. I would also recommend The Evolution of Desire (or anything by David Buss) & A Billion Wicked Thoughts.
The good sex literature is difficult to come across because so many people pull from the same studies then write a book about what it means to them. However, some do it better than most. Get to know the authors who KNOW what they are writing. Instead of those looking to make a quick buck off an interpretation of someone else's research.
Hope this helps.
> Here's why they don't
The bigger reason is that they don't have to; they've been evolutionarily selected to be the chooser, and contemporary culture reinforces that. The average man is not immediately attractive to the average woman, while the reverse is true.
These constraints mean women will rarely approach. While your two points are correct, there are deeper reasons.
I'm not sure if you're serious. There are mountains of empirical research on this topic.
The socialization you mention is driven and created by evolutionary pressures. It didn't just fall out of the sky.
