From AudioFile
An editor and a writer at MEN'S HEALTH create a comprehensive guide for women on how to connect in every way with men. It explains how men think, communicate, isolate themselves, handle hurt feelings, make relationship commitments, and deal with their sexual needs. Stephen Hoye sounds credible with this material. He's engaging as a speaker and sounds perfectly comfortable with the sexual topics. He adds enough of his own personality to be a positive factor in the production, only occasionally sounding a bit condescending toward listeners. However, this quality, along with the insider tone of the writing and the authors' pervasive empathy toward men, will make some female listeners feel more like outsiders than the target audience.

All It Needs Is The Ads To Be A Magazine
I picked up a copy of this book after reading the author's blog on yahoo about five things not to say on a date. To be honest, I didn't think the blog was good at all but the idea of the book seemed interesting, so I got it. I should have gone with my initial instinct. Be pretty, be alluring, it goes on and on with advice like that. The sidebars are annoying and make it feel just like a magazine. All it needs are the ads selling us what we need to be pretty and alluring. By surveying bunches of men, it doesn't get into any real depth about what they're thinking; again, just like a magazine. What are we supposed to think when the men's answers contradict each other, which happens as often as it does in, again, magazine surveys? If you want to know what really goes thru a guy's mind (and I mean really), read "God Is a Woman: Dating Disasters." Also read "The Manual", which has good tips, too. It delivers on what this book promises but misses and is hilarious, as well as extremely insightful and effective.
