Summary:"Uniquely, this book approaches the topic of partner search and relationships from an economic perspective too often neglected by relationship 'professionals'. The author argue that there is a market for potential relationship partners, in which individuals have to learn how to function in order to acquire dates." "Economists have traditionally studied how markets work in great detail. Like any market, there is a supply and demand for the 'good' in question. This book shows how simple economic reasoning can explain many of the characteristics of the market for dating partners, and can also suggest strategies for effective participation in that market."--BOOK JACKET.
