Summary: This book is not for mature/experienced women who ...
Review: have gone through a relationship with a cheater. Mr. Baisden's book is for young folks or people who have litte relationship experience. I was hoping the book would provide an in-depth analysis on the issues of cheating and why men choose to cheat. He only scraped the surface and filled the "empty" parts with personal stories told by men that, I assume, he interviewed. The only problem with the stories is that they all sound like they are from the same voice. The book also reeked with sexist remarks directed at women ... very few directed at men. I was not impressed. I also think the book does very little in suggesting strategies to incorporate in our lives in order to move from the realm of negative emotions that cheating creates. My view of this book is not among the majority. I did find the book to be, at times, entertaining and there were one or two moments of enlightenment. This book is not a keeper for me, I will pass it on to my daughter; as she prepares to enter into relationships, she can understand that there are a few bad men out there who get lots and lots of attention from novelists and the press. I know and believe that there are many good men out there who are available but just plain hard to find!

Summary: Keeping It Real - Thank You Micheal !
Review: This book is excellent. Any woman single or not, Christian or not should read it. The first time I read it I was in complete denial. I did not want to believe that men played those kind of games. Then the very games I did want to believe I saw happening in my own life. At the end of my personal story I was out of a lot of money and full of heartbreak. Reading this book helped me see I am not alone. I am healing now and I must say I commend Micheal Baisden for keeping it real. If you read it for yourself and it helps you in anyway then pass it on and help another sister come out of denial.

Summary: Understandable
Review: When I got this book maybe I was expecting a little more insight on what the brother is thinking. But, overall this was a pretty good book. There was a lot of repeating scenarios but, to know what a man is thinking about us conservative women in clubs was excellent insight!For the women who do read this book you can learn something if you don't already know what the male species is thinking and doing I already knew a majority of the things written. A lot can be heard ladies if you just listen!

Summary: Informative
Review: This was a great book that helps women understand a man's thought process when it comes to relationships. What did I take away from reading Never Satisfied? Confirmation of thinking/learnng through life's experiences that men and women think and act quite differently in the relationship arena. The bottom line is - we, men and women, need to communicate and act on our fears and feelings. This book is a quick read that you will not want to put down. You will reflect on past relationships and improve your future relationships. Thank you Mr. Baisden for a job "well done"!

Summary: The Things We(Females) Allow!
Review: This book hit the nail on the head.Things that we can control only happen because we allow them to happen. All people should check SELF before placing blame.Every teenage female needs to read this book,than maybe they'll get some understanding why men are never satisfied,cheat,lie and break your heart.Read,have your cry and move on.

Summary: I like your non-fiction better than your fiction!
Review: I was one of those very negative reviewers on Baisden's Men Cry in the Dark. I still consider that novel a waste of trees but at least Mike made some financial profit from it. Yet, I really did enjoy this non-fiction work! What was done was great! But it was incomplete and not enough, which is why I did not give it 5-stars. The author should have went more into the Playas family histories, possible psychological problems, homosexuality, bisexuality, asexuality of promiscuous Black males. The book fell short just a bit, because he seemed to blame female more than the man. But the book is still good! I still say, Mike should avoid fiction writing like the plague, dude!!

Summary: breathtaking,honest,an in-dept view from the maleperspective
Review: When I heard about this book, I just had to read it. I wanted to know the answer to that question that I asked myself on a number of occasions. When I finished the book in two days I realized that what he had sad was true and I knew it all along, but did not want to hear it or believe it. It was nice to finally hear the truth from a male and not have to guest the obvious. Many people think Michael is arrogant, and self centered and many more thing, I think that those people are still blind and choose not to see and the men are mad cause he told all the dirty secrets. I have been single (happily) for four years cause I choose not to settle. I live by this book and I thank Michael for being man enough to publish it. Michael if you ever read this, "keep them comeing" Hey, maybe your next book should be "happily single". you sure can interview me, I have many stories to tell.

Summary: This book was okay but nothing new.
Review: Unless you are under age 21, this book really provides nothing new on male infidelity. I've seen far better written on the subject. How men cheat? With lies, sex, porno, etc. Why men cheat? Due to emotional deficiencies in childhood, with parents, due to the media depicting women as sex objects, etc. Grown men do things because they CHOOSE to. Boys blame others for their choices. Most women, married or not, know if or when they have a promiscuous male on their hands whether he's a father, brother, husband, boyfriend, etc. My only downer on the novel is that Baisden tries to glamorize infidelity with ghetto terminology such as "playa" and "playa-hating." Substituting such terms for clear ones such as promiscuous, male-nyphomania, etc keeps the subject serious and gives the other more credibility. Also, Baisden should have delved into factors such as homosexuality, bisexuality and asexuality in Black males. Otherwise, a well-written book!

Summary: VERY INTERESTING AND EXCITNG.
Review: I THINK EVERY WOMAN SHOULD READ THIS BOOK MARRIED, SINGLE, DIVORCED, OR JUST DATING ANYONE. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I'VE READ IN A WHILE.I KNOW WOMEN KNEW ALL OF THE STUFF HE SAID BUT JUST TO HEAR IT COME FROM A MALE'S POINT OF VIEW JUST MAKES YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND IT.

Summary: Fantastic, a book I couldn't put down....
Review: I'm a 32 year old woman with 2 children and there were a quite a few things that I could identify with. It was a pleasure reading this book. It gives an insight on men. Although, it won't stop the cheating. It at least gives us a heads up. We can only change who we are.
