Summary: I think it's all true
Review: I disagree with the reviewer who says all men aren't like this. I am a faithful husband, but what these guys are saying is that all men feel these things, but some CAN restrain themselves. I think the only woman who can actually control a man and keep him in line is a woman who knows this information. As much as I hate to see some of this stuff revealed because it reminds all of us of past, present, and sometimes future, I must say that I think every woman in the world should read this and take it seriously. Maybe then we'll live in an "unloaded" world!!

Summary: Great, funny book
Review: I heard Howard Stern say this was "required reading" for his daughters. I consider his character somewhat questionable, but I know he loves his daughters so I bought this book myself. I expected a quickie, shlock book, but I must say there is far more useful, insightful content in this book than in any of John Gray's Mars and Venus books, which I have also read. Funny and sometimes exaggerated, pretty much everything in here is true about men, and I hate to admit it, but I'm giving it to my daughters too!

Summary: boring!
Review: has the potential to be really funny...but it drags on and on and on! Obviously their publicist holds all the talent!

Summary: Morons and the Morons who Love Them
Review: If you are taking this book seriously you are crazy! I don't think the authors even take it seriously, note the nose glasses and pseudonyms. It's a quick & dirty way to get your $$$. Fortunately it can be read in the bookstore in 15 minutes (about as long as it would take the average person to write it), so you won't have to buy it. Question ladies: would you go out with "Smith and(/or) Doe" if either of them confessed to having written this book? If so, maybe this is what you are doing wrong in your "relationships" (going out with idiots). That's not to say nothing they write is true. Men are attracted to beautiful young women...DUH! Is this supposed to upset me? Scare me? Okay guys, guess what...women are attracted to beautiful WELL HUNG young men. Deal with it.

Summary: Hilariously accurate look into my own mind (off the record!)
Review: You can deny it all you want to yourself or others, but this book details our exact thoughts and actions when it comes to dishonesty and covering up our tracks. Read it as soon as possible so you can defend yourself when your girlfriend confronts you after she gets hold of her friend's copy.

Summary: Howard Stern was right...
Review: I heard these guys on Howard Stern. What first shocked me is that Howard actually kissed these guys' butts and treated them like prophets. The kicker for me was when Howard said that this is required reading for all females and that he was going to give this to his daughters to read immediately. I am a male who bought it, read it, and gave it to my girlfriend in the hopes of improving our sex life (a bunch of my male friends have used this book and it works!). Wish me luck!

Summary: UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S ALL TRUE!!
Review: As a woman who has experienced a lot of men, I must say the authors speak the truth. Why, I've had men who had pregnant wives in the NEXT ROOM come on to me!!

Summary: Surprisingly good book, really helped me out
Review: This book did something I didn't expect it to: it really helped me and my boyfriend talk through some problems that I knew existed but had never pinpointed. Now I see why I was told to buy this book -- it really helps (although not for the faint of heart!)

Summary: I hope it's satire
Review: If it's intended as satire, this book is screamingly funny. If it's not, however, it's yet another iteration of the same old excuse: men just can't help it, they're victims of their raging testosterone; so, ladies, if you tempt them, you shouldn't be shocked at the consequences. (It's a rerun of the line I was fed in Catholic school: if a man lusts after you, you must have done something to "provoke" it.)
There's a myth (beloved by political cartoonists) that "man-hating feminists" (i.e., fat women in bad haircuts, Birkenstocks, and slogan T-shirts) are trying to destroy heterosexual relationships in this society. In fact, it's adolescent cr*p like this that's far more damaging, perpetuating the idea that Real Men Are Lustful and Real Women Learn to Live With It. "My hormones made me do it" is no excuse -- and that holds for you, too, Bill.

Summary: Accurate in many cases, but doesn't account for some.
Review: Interesting book.Though I'm male, and married, I agree with many reviewers here in saying: All women should hear this information, if they're old enough to date. I do NOT, however, feel that they should get it from this book, because this book, while TRUE in most ways, doesn't take into account the fact that there are TWO types of men who act this way: 1. The kind that think it's just part of being a guy and therefore act like it's totally OK, at least until their girlfriend/wife finds out, and THEN they act guilty and admit wrongdoing, in Clintonesque fashion, just to get out of trouble. 2. The guys whose conscience plagues them WHETHER OR NOT their significant other ever finds out, and who try to "avoid temptation," reign in their thoughts, etc., even though they're often not successful. It's simple enough to analyze group #1: They're the users, the uncaring amoral type. Group #2: Good guys who suffer from testosterone, which doesn't excuse but does EXPLAIN all this. And whereas group #1, after some maturing, will become "dirty old [or middle-aged] men," group #2 will eventually mature beyond that behavior. From a female point-of-view, they're a better investment. This book doesn't seem to account for this. It essentially dumps on men and throws cold water on any woman's hopes for finding an honorable man. Women should be wise: Men today are surrounded by porn which constantly revs their sex drives, love scenes on T.V. which suggest that they can always get a hot 22-year old who's ready to "put out" with minimal effort. Again, not an excuse, just an explanation. Men WILL act this way. But this book could easily have been more realistic about the difference in attitudes between some men and others. A better book for this kind of information: "The Sexual Man" by Dr. Archibald D. Hart. Much more realistic, much more accurate, much more balanced. Check it out.
