Fun, especially if you are "over" dating, about to give up |
I was a couple years out of a divorce and found myself dating guys who treated me rather poorly, and I had no idea why. After reading a few other self help generic self esteem boosting and dating books, losing some weight, and updating my look, I subsequently fell into a bit of emotional detachment from STILL being treated funky by dates; this book came right on time for me.
I love the author's candor and "older brother,I'm-telling-you-how-men-really-are, sis" playful lecturing. This book is not for the I'm-gonna-show-the-world-I-don't-need-a-man woman. I had to let go of a lot of that for the author's tips to work. Being a little emotionally detached helped with using his advice, too, since I figured at that point, I had nothing to lose.
Its a fun read, in my opinion. I read some of the chapters several times over, skipped a couple chapters (stealing someone's man - WHAT?) and I got good at getting guys to woo me (takes patience, thought and a lot of confidence in yourself), and yes, I got stuff. But keep in mind, the author emphasizes that you must be *genuinely* nice and *sincerely* appreciative (hard to fake-unless you are a pro at it anyway), which is the bottom line, believe it or not. And I was/am very appreciative of stuff I got/get.
It was a nice way to get back in touch with my "girly girl, let the man be chivalrous" self (for example, smile more, play damsel in distress). Sounds cheesy, but the author points out rather simply quite a few subtleties in fine-tuning your performance as a woman who is wanted by all the guys without letting yourself be steamrolled by a dog/jerk/loser. Now that I have a steady boyfriend who happens to be a wonderful man, I treat him so much better than I normally would have in past relationships and it pays off, even though I do refer back to some of the books tips, just to keep me on my toes and to keep him happy. |

I expected more |
After reading this book I feel disappointed! I expected more! But, just like men, this book is a huge let down! It reads like Seventeen Magazine and reminds me of those cheesy jr high books like, "How to meet Boys" ( hang out where he plays sports) and "How to be a great kisser".(practice on your hand!)
Too cheesy, not funny and a waste. Then again if you are 17, go for it! |

Sometimes Books Need To Distinguish |
Between what we would like to happen in relationships, and the facts...Everything written in this book may not be rosey-posey, Even-Steven, however no one said life was "fair"...

men - an insider's view |
A guy comes clean and tells us girls why men behave the way they do. Why they take your number and wait 2 weeks to call, stuff like that.
The best thing is that it clears up a lot of misunderstanding between the sexes and gives clear instructions on how to make your guy genuinely happy in your relationship - which is good for everyone. it also helps weed out the self-centred losers.
I read with horror as he described perfectly a couple of exes of mine that, in his opinion, would never make good partner material and were a complete waste of my time to bother trying to have a relationship with.
Definitely worth the money! |

Not exactly... |

Okay, I will say upfront that I jumped back into the dating pool after 30 years and I am looking for ways to understand the male psyche. I think the author does have a good grasp of the way that most men's minds work. Being a child of the 60's, however, I was totally turned off by the emphasis on getting men to spend money on you - and even just manipulating male friends to spend their money on you. I have no problem with paying my own way; I was looking for information on how to understand a man's perception/behavior better so that I could meet him in the middle. If you can ignore the emphasis on manipulation for greed and the lack of editing, you will learn plenty about the male mind. |
