Summary: Making Genuine Honest Authentic Relationships a Reality
Review: Barbara DeAngelis did a wonderful job to help women better understand men so that they can have genuine, authentic relationships once the differences are understood. It takes away a lot of the guesswork, and bring valuable advice, tests, questions, and answers that will help women be authentic, real, and genuine while learning how to relate to the man they are with, once they understand their basic inherent differences. There are a lot of interviews with men in this book that provide the basis for what turns them off, and how they genuinely want to share in an authentic relationship with a woman who is real, as opposed to setting a trap, or manipulating them. Highly recommended for its authenticity and valuable insight.
Barbara Rose, author of, `Individual Power' and `If God Was Like Man'

Summary: I didn't realize women were so high maintenance!
Review: Boy, have I ever been doing it all wrong! I'm a woman, married 18 years. I didn't realize that most women are so high maintenance. Maybe that's my problem -- I'm not demanding enough. The women profiled in this book spend endless energy getting what exactly what I get with almost no energy -- a husband who thinks about his business more than me, and who keeps everything inside and then blows up. This book makes relationships look very very difficult, which I guess they are. Keeping them going appears to be pretty hopeless.

Summary: Good Information
Review: I bought this book after reading and enjoying "Secrets about Women". A lot of the information in this book is re-hashed in the newer one, but it still contains a lot of useful insight into the differences between men and women. Barbara offers valuable relationship information that I believe truely will help anyone interested in knowing more about the opposite sex. This book is written for woman, but I still found a lot of good information in it for me.

Summary: Quite informative
Review: I found this book to be very informative. It teaches you how to understand men and how to have a good relationship. It also tells you what they like and dislike, how to treat them. I would say it's like a mini-encyclopaedia of men!

Summary: Explained Alot to Me
Review: I found this book to be very interesting. Obviously, not everyone will fit the typical man (or woman for that matter) as described by DeAngelis, however the information she provided was useful in understanding the man that I work with and the man that I married. I know, because I reviewed the major points made by DeAngelis with both of these men who play big roles in my life, and while they each disagreed on some ideas, they whole-heartedly agreed on others (and both of these men had different views from eachother). In fact, my husband believes this is a very fine book, because *he* was not always able to put these ideas into words when trying to explain his behavior to me. I agree that a *man* would have a better idea of how a man thinks and feels, so when a man tells me that for the most part, DeAngelis is right on the money, then she must know something. Great book!

Summary: If the men in your life are adults, you don't need this book
Review: I tried to force myself to read the entire book before writing this review, and couldn't. Writes with the assumption most relationships are based on abuse. Types of advice you'll get: Don't mother him, don't sacrifice your life for him, ask yourself: "If you were a man, would you be attracted to you?". Doesn't work if both you and your men are actually adults. Wouldn't have worked back in the days when I WAS abused, because it portrayed that condition as "normal". If that DOES describe your relationships, much better advice to you is: "stop hanging out with losers!"

Summary: Repetitive and common-sense
Review: The book could have been about 100 pages shorter, I found much of it to be repetitive of prior chapters. I also found much of it to be "common-sense" - like men don't like women who are dirty, smelly, or don't take care of themselves. Basically, I didn't find any "secrets" in the book that I didn't already know.

Summary: Don't waste a dime
Review: This book is so full of crap that it makes me red faced angry. My first issue is that this book is written by a woman. Recently there has been a revolution and more women authors are putting in their relationship advice which is good for insight into women, but how on earth can this lady pretend to understand what it is to be a man. It would be like me, a man, writing a book on the emotional rollercoaster of having your first period. I can't know and neither can she. This book portrays a cartoonish version of relationships. Great when reading B.C. in the sunday funnies but not for real life. My advice is if you want to know about men, ask them. If you still insist on buying this book then be sure to not believe anything untill after you've talked to your man about it.
