A Practical Handbook for the Boyfriend: For Every Guy Who Wants to Be One/For Every Girl Who Wants to Build One

by Felicity Huffman, Patricia Wolff, Shelly Frasier

Most dating books are written for women -- what a mistake that is. Women know how to date . . . It's men who need the help At last: a blithe, bold, and bawdy guide to building a better boyfriend

At some point, every guy -- player, geek, mama's boy, "regular Joe" -- meets a woman who makes him want to be a boyfriend. A good boyfriend. Problem is, unless he's had some first-rate training (by a previous girlfriend, a sister, a mom), he...

Couples Therapy

Guys: Reading this book by yourself is one thing, but reading this book *with your girlfriend* may actually prove beneficial. As I read it to my significant other, we were able to talk and laugh about which things were true for her and which were not. Whether I rolled my eyes or wholeheartedly agreed, we had fun discussing the differences between the sexes, and what we each felt was important in a relationship (and Huffman finds humor in just about every aspect). Definitely worthwhile for couples with an honest, playful relationship.

great book!

I bought this book as a valentines day joke gift for my boyfriend. I got in a few days before V-day and read through it cause I had a free night. Let me tell you it was absolutely hysterical and SO true. It is brutally honest, hilarious and actually helpful. I still wasn't sure what my boyfriend would think or if he would ever actually read it. When I gave it to him we read the first two chapters together and he was cracking up. It sits on my coffee table and everytime he is over he is skimming through it. And we read it together which is nice cause it's something to do, we get to laugh together and it is actually slightly helpful.

Thank you...

What an excellent, funny book. An ireverent, tell all from the other side. It's like having the cool girl friend who will actually break it all down for you. They explain the women's point of view and help you navigate the mystifying obstacles that you inevitably confront when you meet someone worth stepping up for. They don't pull any punches when venting about what men get clueless about, and they don't hold back when busting women on their bad behavior either. Rock on, Felicity and Patricia, we owe you one.
