A Classic Guide to Understanding Men

"Like most women I've done all the wrong things to try to get a man to love me, and I`ve had to learn the hard way." ~ Barbara DeAngelis Barbara DeAngelis did men a favor when she wrote this book almost twenty years ago. This is an excellent pep talk for women who are fed up in their relationships. It gives women the power to change their relationships for the better all while allowing men to be men. This is not a book about changing men but rather a book that seeks to explain why men react the way they do. By making slight adjustments women can gain the love they need and deserve. Reading this book made me appreciate my husband more. I especially liked her advice on being straightforward with men. She suggests that when you are feeling upset you tell your man exactly what you want from him at that time. This saves hours of wasted time and gets you a faster result, especially if you want to avoid fights. Barbara DeAngelis encourages women not to think of men as mind readers. For the most part this book seems to be quite accurate so the only problem I had was that some of the solutions didn't take temperaments into consideration. A more outgoing partner may find it easier to plan events or take charge in various ways. This book does tell some secrets about men but it also explains how women act and react in relationships. I thought the section on sexuality was enlightening and men will love the advice when it is put into action. ~The Rebecca Review

A Must Read!

This book is a must read. It definately helps an individual unlock the emotional and sexual mysteries about men that we all struggle with.

Making Genuine Honest Authentic Relationships a Reality

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.

Quite informative

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!

Singer w/ male musicians

I was stuck in a house with 7 male musicians. As a singer/songwriter I contributed and collaborated with everyone. One problem, no one listened to anything I said, or would dismiss me as if I was just a silly "girl." Everything I tried did not work. At a bookstore I picked up this book, and not expecting much because the situation was so frustrating - I just did a few things, exactly as described in the book. Amazing! Every one of those men started takiing me seriously as not just a musician but person. I was amazed and have given this book to my single friends.
