Think Like a Guy by giuliana depandi

This is not the kind of book that I usually read. I have a certain fondness for Giuliana (yes, I do watch E! News, so please don't judge me). However, even before I opened the book, I had already decided not to take it too seriously. That's why I'm rather surprised that I dislike it as much as I do. At best, I thought it might be a bit amusing, and at worst, I expected to be simply indifferent. But that's not what happened.

I can't claim that everything about this book was terrible and irritating, but most of it was. I'm sorry, Giuliana.

The tips in the book were mostly either obvious, pointless, or just plain stupid. Some of them were good and definitely deserved to be included, but then she would start talking about hypothetical situations with hypothetical people, and it was really annoying. It wasn't so much the fact that she was giving examples, but rather the way she was doing it. It made me have a negative attitude towards people. True, men are men, but there are different types of men. And not all women are psychopathic, overly emotional, giggling disasters either. Also, the basis for a lot of the tips was lying. In probably 70 - 80% of the tips, she tells you to lie about something. And at one point in the book, she blatantly tells you to lie. A lot of the tips were focused on meeting a guy or guys you just met, and there were none about getting a guy that you've already been acquainted with. Some of the tips, I think, were just there to fill up space.

There were also things she said, presumably in an attempt to be cool, trendy, or funny, that really rubbed me the wrong way because they were either rude or slightly offensive. The book was written almost 10 years ago, and things were definitely different then, so I'm not holding it against her personally, but I am taking it into account when evaluating the book itself.

A ridiculous, yet funny book that offers more than a couple of insightful tips for women in a relationship.

Because, as the saying goes, "We all have a freak flag...we just don't fly it!"

I borrowed this book from a friend. Honestly, I never would have purchased it myself.

The book is filled with humorous anecdotes and practical advice that women can relate to. It explores the various aspects of a relationship, from communication to intimacy.

Some of the tips may seem obvious, but they are presented in a way that makes you think twice.

Overall, it's a lighthearted read that can provide some entertainment and maybe even a little bit of enlightenment for women who are looking to improve their relationships.

Whether you're in a long-term relationship or just starting out, this book might have something to offer.

So, if you're looking for a fun and easy read, give this book a try. You might be surprised at what you learn.

Horrible advice! Most of the so-called advice in this book actually amounts to lying and pretending to be someone you are not. What is the real point of "getting" a guy if you have to resort to such fakery? In this situation, neither you nor the guy is going to come out as a winner.

Moreover, the author herself didn't seem to have much success in keeping a guy. She only talked about her ex-boyfriends and not about any current long-term relationships. It's really disappointing.

Boooo! This is a terrible book. It fails to provide any useful or genuine advice on building healthy and lasting relationships. Don't waste your time on this!

This book

kept insisting that you should tell lies in order to obtain a man.

It argued that once he discovers that you have been lying, he will actually desire to stay around.

However, I highly doubt this claim.

I randomly picked up this book on a whim, but now I deeply regret it.

The idea of using deception to build a relationship seems not only unethical but also likely to lead to long-term problems.

True and healthy relationships should be based on honesty and mutual respect.

Lying may initially attract someone, but it will eventually erode trust and cause the relationship to crumble.

I believe that it is far better to be oneself and let the right person come into your life naturally, rather than resorting to such underhanded tactics.

This book has failed to convince me of its so-called "wisdom" and has only served to reinforce my belief in the importance of authenticity in relationships.

I didn't expect this book to be such a page-turner. However, I picked it up off the shelf, thinking that perhaps there might be a few useful pointers here and there that I hadn't considered before.

After actually reading tips #1 - 9, I found that they were either a) obvious, something that I already knew or could easily figure out on my own, b) ridiculous, completely lacking in practicality or common sense, or c) both, which was really quite disappointing.

I just couldn't bring myself to go on any longer. So, I skimmed through the remainder of the headings. And based on what I saw, I've come to the conclusion that this book was published solely based on the name of the author. I'm sure the author herself did not use these tips to find her husband.

It seems like a bit of a letdown, to be honest. I was hoping for some real, valuable advice, but instead, I got a bunch of stuff that was either overly simplistic or just plain silly. Oh well, live and learn. Maybe next time I'll be more careful when choosing a book on this topic.

I skimmed a few pages on Amazon because I really like her and her show.

Her writing style is very similar to the way she speaks, which makes it a really fun and short skimming experience.

It's full of humor and can easily bring a smile to your face.

I found myself laughing out loud at some of the things she wrote.

Even though I only skimmed through it, I could tell that it's a book that would be enjoyable to read from cover to cover.

I'm definitely going to consider buying it and giving it a proper read in the future.

Overall, it was a great find and I'm glad I took the time to check it out on Amazon.

When I first found out that Giuliana had written a book, I was instantly drawn to it.

I have always been a huge fan of her show "Giuliana and Bill" and I am truly charmed by her happy-go-lucky and fun-loving personality.

I was convinced that whatever she had written would be nothing short of amazing. And to some extent, I was right.

The book was indeed very entertaining. Giuliana's writing style is very similar to the way she speaks, which made the book a joy to read. I found myself laughing out loud from the very beginning to the end.

However, I have to admit that I don't entirely agree with the content of the book. It seems that she is advocating lying in order to catch the right man.

I have never known of any successful relationships that were built on lies. That being said, there are still some good tips in the book if you are looking for advice on dating.

But I wouldn't take every single rule as the absolute truth. Some of them are just common sense.

In conclusion, if you are a die-hard Giuliana fan, you will definitely enjoy this book as it showcases her unique personality and gives you the feeling of having a chat with a girlfriend.

But if you are seriously seeking honest and practical relationship advice, I would suggest looking for other sources.

This book initially seemed quite interesting and enjoyable. It had a certain charm that kept me engaged.

However, as I continued reading, it felt like the author deviated from the original track. She made a rather strange assertion that we all should be clean shaven, stating that no one likes a rug down there. This kind of thinking really struck me as something only a teenager would truly believe.

Nonetheless, it must be said that the first third or so of the book did contain some fairly decent advice. I was reading it more from a research perspective, trying to understand how guys act, rather than with the intention of actually using the advice. This is because, at this point in my life, I'm well beyond the dating pool.

Overall, while the book had its moments, that one odd statement really put a dent in my perception of it. But I still managed to glean some useful insights from the earlier parts.
