<h2>Discover the Feminine Quality That Makes Him Crave Your Attention</h2>
Chances are, you've read just about everything you can on how to keep a man interested in you. Women's magazines often give advice like "be your best self", "focus on you", or "put on that mini-skirt he loves." While these things do work to keep a man interested, they're surface level tactics that only work temporarily.

Women who know how to keep a man happy understand what men secretly want in a woman. These women are irresistible not because of their looks, but because they possess one feminine quality that make men crave their attention.

High-quality men, the ones that desire true commitment from a woman, desperately yearn for the company of a woman who understands how to keep him captivated by her.

So what is the secret to getting a man to crave your attention? What do men secretly want in a woman?

It's simple...

Graceful communication.

<h2>How to Talk to a Man and Keep Him Helplessly Attracted to You</h2>
If you've ever had a man shut you out or shut down on you during a disagreement it's because you failed to communicate respectfully. If you want to be able to communicate your needs and wants to a man without him losing his temper or ignoring you completely, you must learn how to talk to a man gracefully.

If a man doesn't feel respected when you communicate with him it's impossible to connect with him on an intimate level. And without that intimate connection, there's nothing you can do to keep him captivated by you.

To achieve lasting intimacy with a woman, a man needs to feel emotionally secure with her. But if a woman fails to communicate respectfully, he won't feel confident sharing his whole heart with her.

Simply put, if you want a man to open up to you, you must learn how to communicate gracefully with him.

<h2>Become the Only Woman He Opens Up and Listens to</h2>
Men give their undivided attention to those who respect them. If a man doesn't feel respected communicating with you, he'll find the respect he needs elsewhere. The woman who knows how to communicate with men can influence the man she wants without resorting to "that mini-skirt he loves."

A man craves the attention of a graceful woman who knows exactly what to say to him, when to say it, and most importantly, how to say it to get what SHE wants. Men love being gracefully influenced by the woman they adore.

If you're interested in learning how to talk to a man so that he opens up to you, listens to you, and willingly gives you what you want without a fuss, this book will help you to communicate with men more effectively.

Here's what you're going to learn inside:
Discover how to tell him exactly what's on your mind without turning him off. Learn how to communicate what you want and need from him, and make him HAPPY to give it to you. Find out the four most powerful words good men desperately need to hear from the woman they love. Discover how to have difficult conversations with him without making him resent or resist you.

What a load of shit. Most of these "tips" fit perfectly in a book about office etiquette and/or how to treat your manager/coworkers/clients, not how to behave in an intimate relationship with a lover. He portrays men as the "poor guy" through the book and women as selfish tyrants who never listen to men or let them speak. But, I'll make sure to remember that next time I want to talk to "my man" I'll ask his permission to speak when the football game is over 🙄 (that's sarcasm...something the author advises against using often with "your man").

Wowwwwww. The first five minutes of this audiobook only confirmed my suspicions about how terrible it is. In case you want to know how to assuage the ego of a butthurt white man...

This is a quick read, and it echoes off what is said in a 100-year-old Islamic book titled, Heavenly Ornaments. Although the latter employs a politically incorrect tone, which has made it unpopular in the modern world.

The fact of the matter is that the world is designed in a way, where it is the men who have to fight battles. Hence they need to be brave, confident, resourceful, smart and energized. Women can get degrees, work on high powered jobs, make money, and live an independent life, but they will ALWAYS face issues, which subvert their being. This is so because other women are their worst enemies, and men with natural physiological and social advantages, will be there for a Darwinian social competition. Women can resent this fact, but they can't change it. This book tells you who to navigate in the world knowing the playing field and the rules.

The author suggests trying this behavior in dating/marriage, and dumping the men if they don't respond. That's a recipe for disaster. If a woman has been in even two failed intimate relationships, where her grace was met with insecurity, mind games, bullying and exploitation/abuse, the good woman may very well be lost forever. This is why Islam explicitly forbids pre-marital interaction, and stresses upon seeking a man of good religious faith, which means someone who is conscious of the obligations Allah has placed upon him.

Very one-sided opinions of communication. But I appreciate hearing the mans point of view, I guess.

It's been awhile since I have awarded any book a 5 star rating. Keep in mind that ratings are subjective and not in any way reflective of authors talent or lack thereof. For me it is more of an impact the book makes on a reader. I just finished this little gem and plan to reread it again shortly. I am dumbfounded that there is actually a way to bridge that ever present gap or rather chasm between male/female thinking and mis/communication and it is SO simple. Any couple in a relationship will benefit from reading his sound advice. Where have you been in a past, Bruce Bruce??? I could have spared myself a lot of angst and grief.

This was a delectable treat for my ears. Although I already knew everything Bruce talked about, it was awesome to hear it.

The knowledge he dropped can be applied in both your personal and professional life.

When you change your communication game your life will be titillating.

Apparently Women are unreasonable, dramatic, sarcastic exaggerators and the list goes on and on - as the author aims to make women better communicators w men, someone should have helped him to be a better communicator w women prior to writing this book. I don’t believe there are any gems here that aren’t common sense that can be found in most books of similar theme. If this wasn’t such a short read I would have definitely stopped before finishing it just based on the widely offensive generalizations (ie the author’s use of the words: nagging and harpy). ‘I feel’ this book is written by a man that has made many mistakes in past relationships (as we all have) however, the author finds a way to blame all of that on the women. Let me be your cautionary tale...save yourself, pass on this one.

Oh my God.
This book is a waste of time. Basically the writer wants the woman to be a slave to the man and she needs to be disrespectful to herself in order for him to like her F that.
Apparently to the writer men can’t be wrong or insecure it’s the woman fault and she needs to address her own feelings to her own mistakes it’s never the man’s fault.
Really I have read books about men and women writing by men and women by far this is the worst one.

Lo mas importante que me llevo de este libro es que la manera en la que se comunican los hombres y las mujeres el diferente, asi que es necesario (o vale la pena) hacer pequeños ajustes a la hora de comunicarse (efectivamente) con nuestra pareja. Si van a leerlo es importante saber que llevarse y que dejar ir porque definitivamente hay consejos que no valen la pena seguir.

This was pretty helpful. Not like I resonate with every single thing the author says or how he writes it. But as with everything take what resonates and leave the rest. I did get pretty good ideas to improve my relationships and the way that I relate with men.

Amazing tips for long, lasting relationships. Some women complain about how he puts all the responsibility on the woman in the relationship. He’s not making excuses for the man; he simply is not mentioning the man’s duties. After all, this is a dating advice book directed towards women. This book aims for educating us on our part and what we can do throughout our journeys with love. I think Bruce Bryan’s tips will better my future relationships! Note: this is a book talking about what to do when you are currently in a relationship; not seeking advice on what to do to be in a relationship. He gives 75 communication tips that will not only benefit your relationship with your man, but also with the men you work with, engage with, and so on. There are things that Bruce pointed out that I would’ve never thought twice about. Whether it’s a communication style men love or hate, Bruce Bryan’s will explain it!

Good Advice

I found the advice in this book to be generally straight forward and practical. When reading this book, it's good to keep in mind that the advice applies to high quality loving men, not to abusive situations. It's stated in the book, of course, but could be forgotten if one is feeling defensive about a bad past relationship. Read the book with an open mind and heart.

The only part I thought was vague was the section on silence. Using silence as a communication technique is a foreign concept to most people, so perhaps a book on this alone would be helpful. Unless its already instinctively a part of their communication style, women are likely to be confused and left wanting by this part. It could also be confused with ”the silent treatment,” which the book does say not to use, but I think that's the only relationship most people have with silence in communication.

There's maybe a handful of actually useful points in this, the rest reads as a manual for parenting a grown adult and how to tolerate being with a mediocre man child.

"Stay silent", "don't nag" (apparently we were meant to expect this being brought up), "never tell him he's wrong" (excuse me?!), "if he takes the passive-aggressive route..." A high value man wouldn't take that route because he's capable of expressing his feelings and regulating his emotions effectively.
I struggled to finish this book because I was holding back the urge to punch something or someone.
The title makes it sound empowering, but the content sounds like it was written by someone who's mother and wife treat him like a child, and because it works for him, he wrote a book about it.

Us, women, live under the impression that playing the "good-girl" part is the secret for our dating life. The sad reality is that things are not as we imagined them to be.

Therefore, we need specialists like Bruce Bryans to open our eyes from a male perspective and clearly explain how things stand.

I highly advise any women, of any age, who needs to her (if she doesn't know that yet) HOW IMPORTANT SELFCONFIDENCE is, and how important is to see yourself in a good manner, because others will see you exactly the same way.

Bruce Bryans made me understand that I AM INDEED a high-value woman, and I shouldn't by any circumstance allow any man to treat me differently.

A lot of the advice here can be interpreted as basic common sense. If you take out the whole "woman communicating with her man" aspect, then it's decent advice. But when you listen to it as advice for women, it comes across as condescending and sexist. All of this advice on how to gently deal with a man and his fragile ego... there are times when men are treated how they've deserve to be treated. Having to manipulate him and constantly accommodate him... I'd rather be alone. Just my opinion.

First off, this book had so many grammatical errors and needed some proofreading before publishing. Hence the low rating.
The communication tips mentioned in this book seemed to be merely common sense. There was nothing new, 'strategic' or tips to 'make him beg for attention'. Conflict management and respecting someone, which we all use in our everyday life to maintain any relationship, is just drilled down here.
I do believe that some of the tips may also come off as sexist, but I guess his target readers aren't really going to be upset about a man being the 'head of the house'.

Logical Advice

Lots of no-nonsense, logical advice that's really the epitome of common sense and consideration. The only thing I personally, have a problem with is being a 'First Mate' as opposed to a co-captain. Too many issues for which married couples should have equal input. Other than dancing and a few other activities, giving up my input in this area might be an issue. But his happiness is important so we'll see...

Enjoyed reading this book

This book was easy to read and the content was very valuable. The author provides very good advice in communication with the opposite sex that can help women understand the male mind better and can also enhance your overall communication skills. I enjoyed reading this book, specially the examples the author provides with a sense of humor. I discovered a few things that I was doing wrong and also learned many more to start practicing.

Better than 5 stars

EVERY woman needs to read this book. The author doesn't come across as bashing you over the head, but as a person who has our best interest at heart. As women, we communicate from a place of emotion most of the time and I believe we really need this guidance. Very well written. I was crying in the last chapter so read all the way to the end - the journey is worth it.

Nothing revolutionary about the "secrets" in this book, I think we all know this knowledge on some level, we just don't apply it when it's time for it because it doesn't make sense, I was hoping for some insight? But bleh. It was kinda useful to refresh some perspective that we lose in relationships after a while .. many points were a bit annoying, but I'm not really sure, since there's no backing of the information

Be quiet and shut up

I was hoping to find ways for better communication between my husband and I, not the book for that. I don't nag or belittle my husband so this book is not for me.

A very interesting view on a man’s perspective on how a woman is supposed to treat a manLoved it and would recommend it.

This book is for the beginning stage of a relationship not for attracting men to you. The author clearly took advantage of the ambiguity of their title. Most women like myself will rightfully assume it is about how to be a man magnet.
