| Summary: | Is your brain wired to think like a man or a woman? Are females really more talkative, men less emotional? And what does the ratio between the length of your 2nd and 4th fingers have to do with it? We might have been conditioned to think that men and women are the same but as this series reveals, we are utterly, fundamentally different. And we've been destined to be so since the dawn of our species. Not only that, but not all men have male brains nor women female brains: 'body sex' and 'brain sex' are not the same thing. In three vivid, intriguing episodes, covering six major areas of sex difference - emotional recognition, empathy, communication, basic cognition, competition, and brain anatomy - science is put to the test with real people leading real lives. The result is an often hilarious, sometimes provocative and always informative and entertaining journey, destroying myths and uncovering startling new truths about what defines the genders. Discover how a little confidence can go a long way in companion series, How to Get Lucky. Can science predict sexual attraction? In a ground-breaking experiment, a team of scientists orchestrate a unique speed date with a hundred singletons to test their theories - with unexpected results. The scientists analyse our speed-daters bodies, faces, and psychological and social profiles to find out what the key predictors of sexual chemistry really are. Looking for love is 32-year-old Beth Eagland. She's on a mission to find a husband but after four years of singles parties and surfing the net she has struck out. Peter Kerr is a 37-year-old politics lecturer who can never get beyond being just friends. Our scientists believe they can find them the perfect mate where orthodox match-making methods have failed.
