Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This book isn’t about catching men or reeling anybody in. Catching is for nine-year-olds playing freeze tag, and reeling is for trout. This is about you, considering the possibility that you’re tripping over your own feet—no matter how much of an amazing, smart, hot, totally worthwhile ass-kicker you may be as a general rule. Some food for thought:
• Don’t be the “men are pigs” woman. She’s boring. She’s unhappy. And the good men don’t want her.
• Don’t demand the right to set arbitrary rules, let alone change them every five minutes. Act like a crazy person and you’ll be treated like one.
• Realize when he doesn’t want to talk and give him that space. Men don’t usually feel the need to share as much. Respect that or watch him shut down even more.
. . . In other words: If you’re looking for a different approach, this book has one.

Having read several books on dating, I highly recommend this one maybe even if you aren't single. Hugely insightful and covers all the bases in dating. You just might see yourself on one of the pages (uh oh) but the authors, although straight forward and real, use lots of humour to make their messages clear and easy to take. Most valuable of all is that you get to see every issue from both the male and female perspective at the same time. I think even people in relationships would get a lot out of this book. The best on the subject I've read.

Nothing new and not even funny (which seems to be the main intent). Much too focused on generalizing about women's flaws and how these supposedly limit chances for relationships.
This book won't change your life--or even provide a good laugh. (The irony that neither author is him/her-self successful in maintaining a long-term relationship seems lost on both of these "advice-givers"). Not recommended.

I really enjoyed this book, and the only thing that is disappointing is the title because the book speaks to all of us whether we are single or not. The title could be "Why You're Still Unhappy" or "Why You're Still Unhappy Even Though You Are In A Relationship". The points in this book are basic ways to relate better to our fellow human beings and ourselves. It takes a lot of people a long time to learn the lesson that "it is all about me and not about them". Some people never learn it and are still looking for a partner to fill the voids in their lives.

I picked up this book and couldn't put it down. EMK is a smart and funny writer who never pretends to know more than his readers, even though he does. Love it!

I forgot about this book until I saw an excerpt of it on msn today. I read it when it very first came out. It is filled with weak cliches and nothing new. There isn't any real advice, it's just new ways of saying, "be yourself" and a bunch of other tips that aren't really advice. Skip this one and read The Manual: A True Bad Boy Explains How Men Think, Date, and Mate--and What Women Can Do to Come Out on Top and God Is a Woman: Dating Disasters, which are two excellent books with solid sink-your-teeth-into-it advice that actually works and is fresh.
