I was enjoying it. It had some really great insights and everything was nice until it said that you have to spread your legs in order to keep a good man in your life.

Does this person understand women?
***I read this as research for a book I'm currently writing***
It started off well enough, though there were obvious issues with sentence structure, punctuation, etc early on. Still, I was giving it a shot. But the closer I got to the end, the more it just made me question all of it. It became less of how to understand men, and more of how to not being an annoying woman. Which I was still able to tolerate, as this is clearly meant for women who probably need help (if they're reading this for dating advice), but it was too contradictory to feel that way at the end. A rather long section about how men are afraid to approach women ends with a conclusion of (and I'm paraphrasing) it is on the woman to get the guy to approach, not him. Soooo, women can't be shy and afraid? Contradictions, or maybe I should say misconceptions, like that are frequent throughout.
The two most infuriating sentences in the whole book:
"A strong woman doesn't need her needs met; she just wants them met."
***What does that mean? If it's a need I most certainly do need it met.
"And if you have issues with your body that's on you, so take responsibility for it and do something to change it."
***To quote my note in my eBook here, "hella rude." Even if you try to take this nicely, what the hell? So your advice I'd to pamper this dude with positivity and smiles just so he might talk to me, but I got to get over my problems? *eye roll* If he's the mature guy you're talking about, he'll be man enough to deal with a real woman with a couple flaws and bad moods.

A True Diamond In The Rough
!Spoiler alerts!
*This review contains citations which may contain spoilers for the contents of the book*
When I first got my Kobo Reader, I was SO delighted to stumble upon this delightful free book by Alex Altman, entitled ‘Understanding Men: Know What He’s Really Thinking, Show Him You’re The One, Why Men Pull Away, Why He’s Afraid To Commit & How To Read Him Like A Book’, a wonderful appellation for a fine piece of literature such as this.
What To Expect
Undoubtedly, you must be wondering ‘How could I possibly understand men with a book that’s only 122 pages long?’, well let me break it down to you.
During this fabulous reading experience one could only expect to find some of the best advice for getting to understand men. As seen in the table of contents, one could find solace in knowing that they will finally uncover the key factors that keep women and men apart, starting with the answer to the question that everyone is dying to know; ‘How Men Connect With Women’. Not only will you embark on the journey of learning about how men connect with women, the author will walk you through the process of bettering yourself, your love-life and the men in it. For optimal enjoyment, I recommend reading it aloud to retain every detail.
Now, I won’t spoil too much because it is worth the solid read through. However, I believe it is only fit that I present you with some of my favourite quotes from this work of fine art.
‘Have you ever spoiled a relationship by turning a wonderful man into a frog?’, cited from page 20.
‘A lot of interactions would be a lot easier for the man if there were less words involved’, cited from page 59.
‘Don’t assume a man you’re with wants to be in a monogamous relationship with you, unless those words leave this mouth.’, cited from page 72.
Here’s one of my favourite quotes, ‘Men don’t court women; women court men.’, cited from page 90.
Overall, I would have to give this book a five stars for entertainment value, however a lot of its contents were contradictory, misleading and stereotypical. A poor representation of both men and women.

This book was okay. I got sone insight into why my ex-boyfriend did the things he did. Apparently he was an immature man. Wouldn't have guessed that! I didn't like how book tried to dictate how you have to be feminine for a man. No. Be who the hell you want to be, feminine or not. Also, spelling and grammar in this was so bad. At least check your spelling.

Where is the proofreading?
I hope those grammar mistakes were not intentional...because if they were...
"on your on" instead of "on your own"
"The man withdrawals more and more" 2 times...withdrawals? Really? Isn't it "withdraws"?
There were a few good points but the information given was so basic that it could even be considered superficial.
But those grammar mistakes (the 2 above and many more) kept distracting my attention from the essence...
More time spent on the book and more attention paid to the details would have produced a better result and a more qualitative product.
The basic information though it's worth to be known!

It's a short book so you won't be spending a lot of your time reading it.I don't know why the rating on goodreads is so high for this book.This book does not deserve a rating higher than three.
''Inside the male mind'' will help you understand a few things about men but the communication style of the author is horrible.I am not a native speaker but i can communicate a lot better than the author who seems to be a native English speaker.In addition, the author seems a little bit confused.
If you really need to understand men go for it and read it.You won't be learning a lot but you will learn a bit.
Hope this helps.

Some solid insights, but a bit surface-level
I picked up Understanding Men by Alex Altman hoping for something that would really peel back the layers on how men think and behave in relationships. It’s a quick read — you can finish it in one sitting — and that’s both a strength and a weakness.
On the plus side, Altman keeps things simple. He explains why men sometimes pull away, what commitment means to them, and how women can communicate their needs without pushing a partner off balance. It’s easy to follow, written in plain language, and has a few “oh that makes sense” moments.

Needs a good proofreader/editor!
This book has far greater potential than the current text would indicate. All it needs is a good editor to proofread for grammatical and spelling errors, as well as, to help the author focus and present his topic better. There are even places in the text where I wondered if it was actually being run through an electronic translator, rather than written originally in English. Otherwise, there are some valid points made, and some good suggestions for helping to understand the man in your life.

Awesome read
I loved the matter-of-fact approach of the writing; it exuded both direct and subtle methods of communicating the onus of the matter presented throughout the read. The only reason it didn't get full rating was the grammatical errors I found on several occasions but I'm willing to step up the stars once they are sorted out. The book is so good that I'd read it again!

This book definitely cleared up a few things :)
I like that this book is short, sweet and loaded with lots of useful 'gems'. The writing style is conversational and real; I couldn't put it down! I probably should have read this BEFORE I started dating again. Anyway, I highly recommend this excellent read for anyone who wants to get the most out of dating and not waste time. :)

Good while dating
This book focus on first time meetings. How men thinks in one way and what he wants from a relationship. But on the other side it doesn't give much inputs on commited men and what happens to them once they are married.

Too much bubbling on
Found this book difficult to read. There a lot of mumbling on going off in this book and it was very hard to keep my attention on reading it. The layout is not great niether. I will be looking for an alternative book on this subject.

Practical Advice
I like how this book really kind of helps you to get that understanding men really isn’t as difficult as we make it out to be. It also helps you realize that you have a lot more control over the direction your relationship is going than you think you do.

Not what i thought
The book did not satisfy me. It was definitely not helpful. And it could've been alot better and more detailed.

It was interesting if you slide by the small errors made in grammar. I would agree with most of what he said .

Very Useful
Learnt some good advise, worth a read. Some is common sense but others are far less obvious elements that we may not notice.

Won’t read again. DNF’d after 50% but it started repeating information without going in depth. Was alright for a bit.
July 3, 2017
It's a very good read.
There was nothing new that people generally don't know. It's just presented in an organized manner. That's what the author explicitly mentions too.

I guess
I see how sometimes people need to hear things over and over again to get it to set in. However a lot of the topics were repetitive, which the author himself mentioned. Quick read you can tell the author has a fun personality, yet I won't read it again. The title should be labeled blame yourself, and come with a warning introduction about try not to be too critical of yourself. I picked up the book because I thought it would be interesting to see if women were even capable of understanding men, and nope, just have to understand yourself.

Nice read for those still dating
Definitely some insightful notes of the do's and don't s of dating communication. Also some reminders for those who have been in a relationship for awhile. This book in short is subjective and may come off opinionated. Still, enough information to pick up a tip or two. Quick read.

To the point
This book was too the point but not so much in a good way. More supportive information could've been provided. This was surface material that you could learn from a friend....with limited experience.

I am now married.
This book would have been very helpful when I was dating. I learned a lot of things that left me with no second date.
