    What testosterone really does is when your status is being challenged, testosterone makes you do whatever you need to do to maintain status. You can have an economic game where people get status by making generous offers and give people testosterone and they become more generous in the game. In other words, if you shot up a whole bunch of Buddhist monks with testosterone, they would run amok doing random acts of kindness all over the place.

    Testosterone doesn’t make you aggressive

    I can think of one male friend who prefers handshakes, but the rest, we all hug at each greeting and parting and regularly tell each other we love one another.

    We don’t really cuddle all that often though.
