The book is a must read for women, as much as for me. If you think you know how we think, this will give you real insight. At times (most of the time, actually) I thought this book was about me, as the experiences were mirroring my life.

An eye opener to the broken and unbroken men, and to women who love, have loved and will love the broken and unbroken man.

I'm really disappointed. It feels like the person who wrote this is different than the one who wrote To The Women I Once Loved

90% of what I've read in this book is about s*x. It's not like it was just okay, it was really bad.

Very enlightening

I recommend this book to everyone,not just men but women too. Gives us (women) a perspective we normally wouldnever consider.

It takes quite a bit to open up your personal life to the world, but it is a great testimony for men or women to read! After being inspired by Alex for the past few years, I was impatient waiting for my copy, but it was well worth it. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing your story!

Well, I just finished reading this and I’m confused cause ... .

First view
It needs a lot of braveness for men to open up their personal lives and emotions and how they’ve raised in societies teach wrong principles like ( men don’t feel the need to express their feelings, feeling are a weakness, .. etc). I like how the writer have the transition level from bad to good and from blind to awareness. Pierre wrote his future plan based on experiences and delve into all circumstances. .
.

Second view
1. Cool !!!
I hated cool point.!! And how people really risked everything for “cool” and do anything to earn cool point !
Maybe everyone want to be noticed but not to the level doing wrong thing to attract attention. I know this is what’s happening but .. maybe
“ we are all different and if we all live our lives, instead of intimating the lives of others, we can all contribute something different”

2. Influence !!
“Bad company corrupts good character
It is why we must watch who is in our circle.”
But !, what I can see in normal life that doubting is not an issue unless you’re not sure about the thing! So when you’re choosing clothes , choosing your major or your job, you’ll ask but only to blame yourself with results so I have a big question mark when it came to women !? Now you’re talking about the power of influencer ? Innocent you !

Third and forth and fifth
If anyone want to know why some “men are trash” and also some “women”read this. Only Some ! Without generalization.
Anyways I shouldn’t read this book. Made me desperate

If you want to know why #MenAreTrash and why femicide will continue to be a problem - read this book. I read it hoping to hear a different male voice, sadly that's not what I got.

It is disappointing that a person who grew up around women like him would be so disrespectful of them. It became obvious that even his sisters are subhuman to him, because if he had paid attention to them he wouldn't call any woman easy. This guy never stops to consider the feelings of women, it's always about him. No surprise there. It is typical of men to blame everyone and everything, but themselves, for their wrong choices.

I will not comment on his spiritual change. All I will say is; we know all about these men of God and what they are capable of.

Men (and even women) want to be noticed. We may not verbalize our thirst for attention, but our actions often indicate that craving.

Some do the wrong thing to attract attention, and some just do the wrong thing. The fact is, we all crave attention and many of us will do anything to get it. “Our cries for acceptance create the rivers in which we drown our identities.”
We spend too much time trying to fit in. From a young age, we try doing things we see everyone else doing – what we believe to be cool and acceptable. As we grow into adults, some of us still do what we see others doing, but claim it’s far different. These days, we have too many individuals putting far too much effort into standing out. Many guys claim their swag is “so impeccable, no one can touch it,” despite all of their cohorts owning the same pairs of Jordan shoes, and the same expensive belts they claim no one else owns. “Standing out” doesn’t always mean aesthetically. To stand out, you have to live your life your way. You have to be mature, and you have to be the man God created you to be. We are all different and if we all live our lives, instead of imitating the lives of
others, we can all contribute something different to this world.

"Cool” is what keeps many from letting go the desires of their egos, even when they know it is destructive. Without the idea of “cool,” some men would mature faster and settle down sooner, but in their thirst for relevance, they have to be…cool

I took alot from this book and may even refer to it later...

Being a male is inevitable, a matter of birth. Being a man is a choice, a matter of decisions. Being a gentleman is a matter of perspective...

“Hurt people hurt people.” We hide our pain to keep us from getting hurt again. In the process we hurt people who never aimed to hurt us.

Weakness is actually the fear of looking weak, of not being perfect and strong. We invest our time and energy into not looking “soft”, emotional or feminine, because we are afraid. Our fear of appearing weak has blinded us to all fears that live within us. Even when we say we have no fear, we are fear driven.

acknowledging our weaknesses opens the doors for strength. Sharing our weaknesses with loved ones opens the door for guidance and help.

A great read for men as well as women. From a woman's perspective I get a glimpse of the emotional turmoil men face in a relationship, the author was brutally honest about items that contributed to his baggage. Overall a great short story for men/women on looking at self to understand our behavior in relationships.

-an enjoyable simple, but not simplistic book logically committed to relative standards of truth
-a lovely emotional introspection given to us through poetry and prose
- austere architectural style built with contemporary elements of our life
'It wasn’t until enough of my relationships were destroyed and I became a
single, born-again Christian practicing celibacy, that I began noticing the
impact porn had on me. It wasn’t because I became spiritual that I noticed the
destruction, it was because I finally begin abstained from porn and sex. As I
abstained from porn, the desire to love women and treat them as more than
objects grew in my heart. Seeing them as objects who existed for the purpose
of sex only became nonsense to me. I began to crave love. It wasn’t simply a
transformation of becoming mature, but a renewal in my heart. For every
video I watched, I would download inside of me this idea that women are for
that purpose and to treat them that way. I was seeing women through the
lenses of porn. Every time I saw a woman I would envision the things I’d
seen in porn that I could do to her. Eventually, pleasure became more than just
sex.
The effect porn was having on me is happening to others. It’s building in
people the desire for sex and nothing more. Lust-filled hearts,,. So many more
promiscuous young men and young women, so many more people unable to
commit. The basis of many relationships now is good sex and interestingly
enough, it isn’t guaranteed that your partner will stay loyal to you when
there’s a guy or a gal out there who will fulfill their lustful fantasies.

'Many men are afraid of commitment because they aren’t ready to let go of
their promiscuous ways and their lifestyle of fun as defined by the majority.
Clubs are their favorite place in the world, drunk nights are the moments they
cherish, drugs are their escape, sex numbs their pain, and money makes their
souls feel alive. They don’t want to feel chained, limited and whipped by
what they think is love when in reality they’re stuck in a relationship with a
woman who lacks understanding, who isn’t yet mature enough to not settle
for less than what she’s worth.'

20. Write His Wrongs
'....
I wasn’t a man
I was a kid afraid of commitment
A boy still looking to play boyfriend, unwilling to pursue you
I saw our relationship as a short sprint, instead of being in it for the long run
I wasted your time talking about marriage to feed you false hope that would
keep you hungry for more of me
I uplifted you when I needed a lift, kept you encouraged when I knew we
were going nowhere
I fed you lies to make you feel on top of the world, and then put you down
with my actions

Dear Son
Do not allow society to define you.
The man society will try to mold you into is socially created, controlled, inauthentic, insensitive, womanizing, and unproductive towards the betterment of our world.

1.)Do not allow yourself to be lured into the ways of fools and be enticed by all the materialistic things males use to shape their identities.
2.)Believe not that success is buried in women and fame.
3.)Respect yourself enough to respect others, for what is within you, is what will project out of you.
4.)It is honorable to be faithful to one woman at a time.




5.)Falling in love is greater than any orgasm without attachment. As a matter of fact, love will enhance orgasms.
6.)It is foolish to act as if you are immortal and without feelings. Being sensitive is okay, being nice is commendable, and being respectful is a great trait. Have dignity and be grateful.
7.)Women are God’s gift to men. You are not God’s gift to them. Cherish your good woman when you find her. If you treat her like a queen, she will have no trouble devoting her life to her king.
8.) Justify not your lies rather do what is necessary to grow in those areas
9.)Pride will assassinate every good thing that enters your life. Do not let your ego rule over you.
10.)Experiences are teachers. Do not allow the lessons to pass you by.
11.)God is not the enemy. A God fearing man is a man of valor no matter what society may say.
I have learned that the opposite of all these things will make life more painful. You will have to go on your own journey to conclude that these things are true, but I promise to be by your side until death separates me from you. I cannot wait to build a relationship with you. I love you, and I haven’t even met you yet. You are my prize. I promise to be a leader in your life, and a positive example from whom you can learn…but via my words, and by exemplifying a moral lifestyle. You’re the son of the King of Kings, so be a victor. Rise above the norm, be the change you want to see in the world rather than wasting your energy complaining about it. Be great, for greatness lies within you.”
A man is not supposed to be an animal. Strength doesn’t lie in how little pain he shows, but in how he handles the pain he feels. Be a man. Be real with yourself. Be human.

Dear Daughter
First and foremost, I love you. I will love nothing on the face of this earth more besides GOD and your beautiful mother. Because I love you, I will protect you in ways you will hate. I will make decisions for you that you will think are ludicrous. You will hate me at times, but in those times, please understand that they are an act of love.
I promise to raise you and not let television, school and society raise you.
I promise you to be your first love. I will be the first man to make you feel valued and worthy. I will be the first man to remind you that you are smart, push you to be goal-driven; the first man to reassure you that you are loved.
I promise you to show you love exists and show you beauty and the ugly parts of marriage.
I promise to teach you the ways of the Lord, not by setting rules for you to obey, but by setting an example through lifestyle. I promise to be a godly man in my actions and not just my words.
Know this…
You are beautiful, but you’re also intelligent
You were created by a brilliant master who had a plan for you, even before you were conceived
You are worth more than anything anyone can afford
You are important
You are full of purpose
You will not find yourself in compliments, relationships, sex, drugs or anything outside of you
You are loved
You deserve the world, My Dear. Don’t settle for a man who can only treat you to a motel room
Never compromise for your acceptance
You are worthy of greatness

A Real Father

Instead of letting the world abuse you, let God use you!
Oh Father, how I love you
You take me as I am
imperfect and willing to help me grow out of my imperfections as long I do not use “I’m perfect as an excuse” and follow your son, my beautiful savior
You lead me to do better as long as I don’t use, “Only God can judge me” as a cop out
You are the reason I’m here and the reason I’m going where I’m going
From the bottom of my heart, all I can say is, I love you, Father.
I thank you for sending your son to help me become your son
Without you this version of me, would be as fictional as most people believe you to be
I will continue with you, continue to grow, and continue to love you
Thank you

Dear you
You are a better man than you think you are.
You’ve fought so many battles, and endured so many losses, but also, tasted a fair amount of victory.
Listen to me, DO NOT GIVE UP!
You are great. You are strong and you are a good man.
So what? You lived like a fool before. You made foolish decisions. You fooled people and fooled yourself. Those foolish days led to your being wiser.
Don’t look at the past or get too caught up trying to be the man you imagine to be.
Don’t give an ear to the people who knew the old you, who are looking at the new you and yelling hypocrisy.
Remember they don’t live with you. They don’t know your heart, and they aren’t looking for change in you.
Their being stuck with the, “you” of the past is their problem, not yours.
The opinions of those who cannot applaud who you’re becoming and striving to become are irrelevant.
I am proud of you.
Keep striving for greatness, my friend.

A nice one night reading for both men and women. Sometimes I found myself smiling over the descriptions. Like "Yeah! That's right! Men are a bad creature created for women!" Or "That's funny on how you react when that codes mean the other way. You realised it, right, girl?" Or "Noooo! That's bad! You can't do that to a woman!" Hahaha It is an interesting book on how a boy changes to be a man, and then to be a gentleman.

As he said, "Being a male is inevitable, a matter of birth. Being a man is a choice, a matter of decisions. Being a gentleman is a matter of perspective."
So, where are you in this paragraph, guys? Male? Man? Gentleman?

For some reason, I feel like I have the same thought with the author. Most part of the content is actually widely known by women (as I don't think I'm the only one), such as how men tend to visualise their thought, and how to choose a woman for a one night stand. Besides, I feel a little surprise when he said "Fall in love with your future spouse before that future becomes present." I somehow feel that way though. That's relaxing as I am not the only one (and we are not the only two too I guess) thinking that way. Hahaa

The book "Unspoken Feelings Of A Gentlemen" by Pierre Alex Jeanty goes over topics such as, love, pain, mistakes, regrets, and personal growth. This book is from a mans perspective on love and how they view women. If you like books that make you want to read chapter after chapter then this is a book for you.Or if you are just getting into relationships or starting to look for their future partner. This book discusses how Pierre Alex Jeanty has been broken and how he has broken others and all the words of a man that are no longer left unspoken. Throughout this story of Pierre, you might be able to connect or see little pieces of it in your own person story. Pierre expressed deep topics that no other man would want to discuss but is brave enough to share his own personal story for the world to understand a mans perspective on things and so others can take bits and pieces of this information and us it to their benefit and learn from it.

Becoming a Better Man

To be honest, a lot of this book didn't apply to me in the way it was delivered. I didn't play women, try to sleep around, or escape relationships in fear of devoting myself to one person.

I did, however, grow up with many of these thoughts and without the guidance of a man to shape me into the person I'm trying to become today. I can definitely empathize with the man who thought that bottling your emotions, sleeping around, and not striving to become the best person until it was time was okay.

Without a doubt this short read is worth pouring yourself into and reflecting upon if you're on a journey to becoming a better man or a woman who wants to get a glimpse into the heart of one who is trying to be better.

I just wish I had known about this sooner.

It’s a beautiful thing to witness a brother of color reach a point in his life where he is no longer afraid to wear his heart on his sleeves. Such vulnerability shows strength, not weakness, a real man, not a sissy, nor a boy. I have a deep level of respect for Pierre Alex Jeanty (@Gentlemanhood) for uncovering his truth, in efforts of assisting men heal and to learn how to give/receive love properly-from a woman.

I found my younger self through the pages of this book, sharing similar experiences and growth. “Unspoken Feelings of A Gentleman” is raw and essential for both younger and older males, young ladies and women. Herein, you will peel back the walls we as boys/men has been forced to put up by society. Such a powerful and beautiful story.

This is the first I’ve read that gotten me back into my love for reading and I enjoyed this book. It helped me see a different perspective from a man pov and opened my eyes to a better understanding. This is a book I can come back to from time to time and read, get advice and clarity. His writing is clear and it put those words together perfectly like how we be like “I don’t know how to word it or explain it” I think he does an amazing job at doing that. And bonus ladies he answers the questions we all be wondering from time to time. I can’t wait to read more of his book! Definitely one of my favorite authors!

it's an insight to the mind of a man for women, with slight insights of the mind of a woman for men.

from cheating to being cheated on. wanting to be loved without loving.

a man writing his wrongs.

i've experienced A LOT, in relationships. and i stopped and thought a lot about those experiences, cause now, it kind of makes sense.. in a sense. doesn't justify the actions of a man though.

i'm definitely handing this over for my boyfriend to read too.

To the women that think men are not emotional beings this book will totally alter that view. It's filled with raw, unfiltered expressions from the deepest recesses of a man's heart and mind. Though it's not what you'd call a poetic masterpiece, it makes for a good read. You'll get to see a man's way of thinking and hopefully understand a little more about them which may go a long way in helping you interact with them.

It's also a very short book meaning you can read it in one sitting.

It made me tear up and smile throughout the entire book. He spoke so many truths. Its definitely a book I would read again. Definitely something I would recommend to others. I actually bought this for my boyfriend but had to read it first. I'm glad I did. This is a book I will be buying for my sixteen year old son.

This is one of a kind, I've always wanted to discover what usually goes inside the head of a man and reading this one helped me to unfold that one. Pure bliss and honesty rolled into this book. Not gonna lie, some were offending to read especially to the part where he treated girls like toys to play around with but it's not yet the end for him though.

A must-read for 18+ people or for anyone who is feeling quite lost in the society's norms nowadays. So much love for this book which I read at the right time when I didn't even think I needed it most. This is not just for men but for all sexes and genders. I highly recommend this book 💞💞💞💞
