F*ck Him!

...

This book comes across a patronizing. We learn what is a “High Value Woman”. You hear that term a “million times”. This book made me feel nauseous. And, if the author is correct in his, what he says “all men are”, and he knows this because he is man, it looks pretty sad and hopeless, at least for me. What I got, is that men are dogs and they cannot help themselves in a myriad of ways, and as women we need to learn how to play games with them from the beginning and forever (but “we should be ourselves”). All and all depressing book. Patronizing and depressing. It really should be “F**k men” book. The sad part is that, even if I hate most of what he says and the way he says it, he may be right, which is the worst thing. Anyway, this book left me hopeless and depressed, and hoping I was gay. Also, it seems he is just mostly sharing about himself, and it was one of those books that seemed to be put together in a few days. Paraphrasing the person who put the words on paper for this book “I’m sorry it this offends you, but I like to give it to you straight.” Thank you.

Overall good advice

The author says that for many years he has been observing and interviewing women who were able to find lasting love. He shares the secrets that he gleaned from them. The main theme of the book is to be very independent. For example, if you have a yoga class planned and your boyfriend asks you out last minute for that time, tell him that you already planned to go to the yoga class. The author says you need to have your own life. If you really want to go out with him and you have nothing planned, then the author would say it's fine. He shares a lot of additional advice.

Good but more of the Same....

There are many aspects of this book that I would say are insightful and true; but overall i found it to be more of the same. The book describes men as basic, somewhat superficial creatures. A few times the author compares men to three years olds; starting that their needs are similar and motivations the same. I personally find this to be sad and wonder if perhaps the type of men this advice would cater to are even worthy of time and attention. I would like to think that most readers desire a deep fulfilling relationship with an equal and not with someone who prefers to be manipulated with mind tricks. Overall I think the authors is coming from the perspective of a man who still has growing to do. The author confesses that he has commitment issues and is actually the type of man he describes in the book. That being said if you are looking to find a man-child and convince him to “ ship” you, read this book.

Knock-off of Sheri Argov's Why Men Love B*tches

I liked his examples, and the narrator is pretty good, but it seemed like he was just paraphrasing Sheri Argov's books. It also sounded condescending coming from a man and had an overall "boys will be boys" theme. Definitely had a few eye rolls, but overall a good stand in for "Why Men Love B*tches" since it wasn't available.

Seriously? Take psych 101 instead

So, mixed up Psych 101 with real women don’t play games followed by a whole list of games you should play, followed by an admonition to not use them so often that the guy figures out what you are up to.

Fortunately, it’s short.

Good for self confidence

This book helps us to remember our worth and not feel back for sticking up for ourselves. It gives us guidance that will keep us strong and smart about relationships. Good to listen to if you are not sure about your relationship.

Not a book for the male gender

Not a good read or.listen for males, the author makes us sound like a bunch of baboons, waiting for our partners to grant us our wish. What this book is, Is utilizing sex curiosity and the "F" bomb to sell more books. Save your money men, if your women need this book you might reconsider your partner.

I followed at first, but you lost me near the end

First, I really did like this book. My issue is that treating a man the way this book always wants me to treat a man seems mean. I get not being easy or making him work at the relationship. This just seems bitchy. I love putting love notes in my boyfriend's lunch or surprising him with little gifts. To listen to this, I'm doing the wrong thing. It goes against my entire home raising of "treat him like a king and he will treat you like a queen." It does have to go both ways, but also sometimes one needs more than the other. idk. There was a lot of great advice, but near the end it felt like game playing. I don't want to deny myself the opportunity for affection because I'm putting distance between us in the hopes he will keep after me.
