Product Description:
A doctor, a lawyer, and an accountant tell you everything you need to know about what men want.
Will he call me? Should I play hard to get? Why isn't he more romantic? Should I approach him? Why doesn't he say 'I love you'?
Men are easy to read once you learn their language. Now you'll never have to wonder again with this honest, funny, straight-talking guide from three professional men that reveals not only what but how men think about women, dating, relationships, and commitment. Three single, eligible, experienced men break the code of silence to tell you what really attracts men, how to avoid getting hurt, and how to know if he loves you...or if he's just marking time. The secret, they say is simple: Weed out Mr. Wrong, nurture Mr. Right.
Inside you'll find out how to tell the difference and discover:
- whether he sees you as a 'good for now' girl or as a woman with 'wife potential'
- the real meaning behind the line 'I'm not ready for commitment'
- how to deal with your not-so-romantic boyfriend and cultivate his romantic potential
- when a man is using you for sex
- how to really please a man in bed
- why men cheat on women they love
Once you know what a man wants, he's yours!
Amazon.com Review:
The authors would have done well to include one of those 'The more I learn about men, the more I love my cat' bumper stickers inside the pages of this book. It's full of advice along the lines of the pithy stuff found in last year's The Rules. Its authors, three 30-ish New York natives--a lawyer, a doctor, and an accountant--who refer to themselves as 'professionals' over and over again, the better to convince you to cook their dinner--reveal all. Its sex advice reads like How to Make Love to a Man written with the acidity of Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Men like fellatio, stupid. Men like attractive women more than they like smart, successful women, stupid. Men would never get married except marriage means getting laid on a regular basis, you silly goose.
Brad, Chris, and Rich spice it all up by including detailed passages from their dating pasts: 'They proceeded to Chris's apartment to listen to his extensive music collection. Next thing they knew, they found themselves rolling around on Chris's bed.... He wanted to get to know her before having sex with her, even if she didn't care either way.... Unfortunately, she was bewildered.' They also answer ever-mysterious relationship questions. How to tell if your boyfriend is cheating on you? Check to see if the condom supply is dwindling at an unusual rate. Wondering why he doesn't introduce you to his parents? He doesn't want to marry you and thinks that meeting the folks would make wedding bells start ringing in your ears. Does he like it when you two are on a date and you talk about your ex-boyfriend? Nope.

I hope the more idealistic reviews are correct, and that I am mistaken in my cynicism. My own experience is that this book accurately represents how most men (hetero) think. Most men, in short, are not "nice"- but then that is not a requirement for being a successful competitor, and this is what they are taught to strive to be. *shrug* I find this the most useful book I have read so far on how men really, REALLY operate. Very disturbing, to be sure. The real trick is to love them in spite of it. ... Read More

The lawyer, the CPA and the doctor; all supposed to be "professional": all authority figures who believe themselves to be authorities on what it takes for a woman to make a man her own. NOT.
The book is an opinion filled look at the lives of three men who express personal preferences instead of delving into the "heart and soul" of men, and the needs, wants and desires that men intrinsically possess for companionship found in the form of a woman.
The authors fail miserably ... Read More

After reading the other reviews I am almost tempted to ask the unsatisfied reviewers if they were looking for a book entitled "What you want to continue to mistakenly think men want". While the truth isn't always pretty in terms of how men think and what they ultimately want- the book reveals a great deal that is helpful in understanding the perpective of the opposite sex. Is it the same advice your mom gave you? Probably. Does that make it less true? No. I have asked many guy friends if the opinions ... Read More

While I appreciate that this book reveals what three men want to share about their understanding of men's minds, bodies and feelings I would rather have the book be titled "what some men want". And I'm not sure that as a woman myself that I'd want one of those "some men". It reflects men as adolescent, insecure, entitled to their "ways" and suggests that professional men deep down have needs that are just plain old there and that's it. The book left me wondering where the decent, hardworking, genuine ... Read More

Reading this book made me pause and double-check to make sure I wasn't wearing a corset. Much to my relief, I have not somehow been transported back to the seventeenth century. This very well may be what these three kiddies want in a woman, but if it is truly what ALL men want, I'll remain single, thank you very much. And...uhhh...sort of have the feeling the authors will remain that way too.
