Listen up, women, here's how to fathom your man. First, "men are much simpler than women," so in trying to figure him out, "think like a minimalist." Remember, "Sex is spelled s-e-x, not i-o-u." For guys, "relationships are not . . . top priority." Work probably ranks higher. When criticizing a man, "develop a light touch." In bed, let him know you think he's a red-hot lover. From such platitudes, this breezy, often superficial pabulum is distilled. Berkowitz, who hosts a talk show on Financial News Network (and was formerly the Today show's correspondent on men), teamed here with freelance journalist Gittines, offers advice to women on getting men to open up, dating divorced men, extramarital affairs, gauging a man's true intentions regarding commitment, dealing with his fears of impotence, and so forth.

What makes men tick? Why won't they open up? Weren't they all supposed to have gotten in touch with their feelings in the 1970s? What went wrong? According to Berkowitz, the Today Show 's correspondent on men, nothing went wrong. Men, by nature, respond differently from women, and a lot of misunderstanding could be avoided if women comprehended how men express themselves. Many recent books have explored this territory; Berkowitz maintains that men are not psychological cripples, nor women masochistic fools. Neither sex is "right" or "wrong." We're just different, and it's silly to take adversarial positions. So here is the "Boylitz" course: What he really means. No neuroses; just good sense, affection, and the occasional flash of recognition. Maybe we've finally outgrown confrontational psychobabble. Let's hope so.
