Very good reading - especially with couples. Good road trip book. You are trapped in a car together! It is enlighting for both men and women - we actually think differently than we thought!
Silly and juicy; read it more for curiosity on the questions people were asking (and responses). After a book like this, I’m often left wondering about the ways we socialize men and women (sorry for the binary!) to respond to each other’s needs and our own. For instance, much information in this book states things like, “if you ask about feelings, we don’t know how to answer”, “if you as ask a question along the likes of ‘how do you feel about that’, you need to be specific otherwise you get answers like ‘that sucks’ or ‘I dunno’”, “asking about how the relationship is going is a mistake, gals need to keep it to specific questions because guys won’t talk about the relationship unless there is a problem”.
Seems pretty restricting for men and i have to believe we can deepen that emotional well...
One hesitates to call this a “book,” since it reads like one of those “Ten Secrets to Make Your Man Crazy” magazine articles. Quick summary of the contents: yes, we men are slobs, but we’re lovable slobs, and you, women, hold the key to our hearts (Yawn, yawn, boring!) Incidentally, I will add that there was no secret formula to fix any problems one may have in one’s intimate relationship with a man, married, single, or other.

This was more of a scroll through kind of book. I did not get much incite out of it with as many surveys they took.

From the first moment they meet, through every stage of courtship to the inevitable conclusion-success or breakup-Zinczenko outlines with vivid, compassionate, and irreverent detail exactly what goes on in the minds of men and how women can use that knowledge to their advantage.
Can't say that I understand men any better, but it was interesting and thought provoking.
