When it comes to entertaining, enlightening and educating, no one in talk radio compares to Michael Baisden. His high-octane energy and love for interacting with his listeners is just one reason for the popularity and success of The Michael Baisden Show. The Bad Boy ignites heated discussions with explosive episodic themes like: Living Your Dream, Your Body Is Your Temple, and Pimps In The Pulpit.

His radio career began in 2003 when 98.7 KISS FM in New York City offered him a position as the afternoon drive-time host. Because of budget constraints the station was unable to offer him a salary. Michael's response was, "Just give me the damned mic!" And sure enough, within six months, their afternoon drive ratings went from number 9 to number 1.

After eight months of consistent high ratings, Michael suggested taking his show national but management was apprehensive, suggesting that New York wasn't ready. A few months later, Michael threatened to quit if management did not pursue a syndication deal. "There was no doubt in my mind that I could have one of the hottest shows on radio! I knew the impact it would have on people all across the country and I wasn't taking no, for an answer," Michael rebutted.

His vibrant personality on and off the air has made him a people magnet. He began attracting attention with primarily female followers as author and publisher of the highly successful provocative books: "Never Satisfied: How and Why Men Cheat", "Men Cry in the Dark", "The Maintenance Man", and lastly "God's Gift to Women". Two of his titles ultimately were adapted into stage plays.

But his proudest moment came on September 20, 2007, when he passionately and skillfully spearheaded the famous Jena 6 March in Jena, Louisiana. This historic and momentous occasion garnered tens of thousands citizens of all races to peacefully marched in support of six young men who have been unfairly treated by the justice system. In addition, he urged millions of listeners to wear black on September 20 in protest of unequal justice. The news traveled throughout the country, everyone wore black in support of the Jena 6, from college students of all races to corporate executives.

2008 was another historic year. In late January Michael endorsed Sen. Barack Obama in the democratic primary against Sen. Hillary Clinton. Sen. Obama ultimately won and went on to defeat Sen. John McCain in general election on November 4. Michael celebrated with over 4,000 fans at a watch party in Miami on election night. The Obama camp along with millions of listeners credited Michael with being one of the major forces behind this historic victory to elect the first African American to the Presidency of the United States.

The Bad Boy continues to entertain, enlighten and educate as he pursues one of his first dreams, to have his novels adapted to major Motion pictures. The other dream was to host a Late Night Talk show. He got that chance in the fall of 2007, when he partnered with TV One to host and co-executive produce "Baisden After Dark," featuring comedian George Willborn and band leader Morris Day. The show was a smash hit, breaking records for viewers on the black owned network.

I recieved this book for free on my Kendle.This was one of the best book I've read in a long time. I laugh all the way through the book.
It made me think do all woman let their man get away with cheating on them like that? The question has to be ask. Wake up ladies men only do to you what you let them get away with.

this book while reading it you feel like you're inside the cheating man brain, the author has analyzed the cheating man through real stories, each of it reveals another perspective, motive, trick, target and environment of that man.
different types of cheating man and his cheap mistress from the dog man to the nice man with the bed dating experience, still cheating will remain cheating.
the bottom line is the main cause of this dirty inhuman game is the lack of morals and that's exactly what the writer has mentioned as a conclusion in one word BE HONEST YOU MAN
the book would've been more beneficial and constructive if it was written in proper language without vulgar expression in every line of it especially in interviews, but i guess that's how the cheating men like to express themselves which make us return to the LACK OF MORALS again!

Do Men Know What They Want? reminded me a lot of Steve Harvey's book: Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. I felt that both books were really honest when it comes to how men feel about relationships and commitment. It was very insightful!! I did like Michael Baisden's book a little more than Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, because he seemed to go more in depth with the differences in how men and women view commitment in marriage and/or relationships. This is the perfect book to read before considering marriage or a long term exclusive relationship.

This book is honest and real. Michael Baisden addresses just about every topic concerning men and women, married or single. Some of what I read was a bit hard to read, but it was true. The way that women and men think are totally different. I have read Men Are From Mars and Women Are From Venus, Act Like a Lady And Think Like a Man, but this one in my opinion is more revealing than both of those. I don't want to give anything away, just read the book!

Men

I loved the message about just being honest. That should go for both men and women. Communication and honesty are key to a happy and successful relationship but its rare. Some of the stories the men are monsters and not because of the cheating. Threatening to kill a woman if she doesn't get an abortion is sickening.

Interesting read about dating and cheating. Really gets down to the nitty-gritty. However, I took off a star because this book needs some serious editing.

Although Michael Baisden's Do Men Know What They Want exemplified honest and straight-in your-face confessions, I didn't care much for the vulgar and profanity used in the book. Such language was not necessary because the ignorance was purely blatant and sickening. I was also extremely sadden and disappointed with the some of the attitudes and strongly-held beliefs of the men and women who were interviewed. All I can say is, God help us!

this book was very informative, I got the chance to really understand how men view relationships and why they do the things that they do. I've learned lessons that I would most definitely apply to my future relationship.

Another good book from MB. I know it's odd that I say that as a man but he tells the truth about how we really act. While I was reading it, I saw a lot of me in that book...when I was young and in the streets of course, lol.

I support Michael Baisden in all his community efforts. I enjoyed his view on this topic. I also see his continued growth and the desire to share the information he learns.

The author tells us different stories of men who cheat their partners.
A book that can serve not much entertainment.
