I just read it to see what the tips are basically: be confident, be yourself, be patient, be funny, be sassy, and don't waste your time on those who don't put the effort, because they may just not be that into you.

I read this book via an KINDLE Unlimited download.

Being a child of the 1950’s [I’m 67 now] men and women used to communicate the old-fashioned ways; which were face-to-face, telephone and letters. But these days you’ve got high-tech, handheld devices such as smart phones.

Texting requires you to know how to communicate your message succinctly along with any desired emotion. And in doing so you unintentionally reveal quite a lot about the person you are, which is similar to listening to two candidates running for a political office.

When it comes to a romantic interaction between two individuals the manner in which you’re texting reveals your level of intelligence, self-assurance, self-esteem, sophistication, and most important your level of passionate development. This can and does result in you losing the guy [which sometimes is a sneaky way of dumping him without making him feel like he’s a fault], keeping him interested in you, and best of all making him feel like he’s got to keep you.

But to make sure that you’re in control of what’s happening you need to know and understand the art of effective texting. In this book, the author, Bruce Bryans, attempts to do precisely that, to teach women the art of texting effectively and almost effortlessly to their guy.

Just like the saying, “A slip of the lips, can sink a ship;” texting unknowingly can cause you to lose the guy you desire to have as your own. This is because unbeknownst to you, you’re allowing them to evaluate your worthiness for being their romantic partner, which is why sometimes you don’t get a response back to a message you’ve sent to a guy, and why you might actually be responsible for having chased some guys away, guys you’d love to get to know better.

For having revealed a guy’s psyche when it comes to texting, how can you not give this author the 5 STARS he’s gotten from me.

Couldn't have stumbled across a more perfect book to listen to for a spur of the moment road trip with the younger sister. And the advice was pretty dead on..aside from the bit about about how soon is too soon to call your man "Big Daddy". Hint, it's never too soon ;)

So I’ve never been able to interest a man. I attracted men but I couldn’t get them to commit to me. So I found this book and started using it - I would refer back to it while texting guys and I finally got a man lol. We’ve been togeryher four years now and have a daughter. His advice really works and I recommend this book to all my female friends. It’s great. 😊

good advice

I consider myself intelligent and attractive yet unable to figure out what was wrong with my communication habits that made men go silent. I’m happy to have read this book and am looking forward to trying out this advice.

So much information to woo a man with. As a teen myself, this helped me get used to the ins and outs of social situations while flirting online. Now my boyfriend won't stop texting me. Highly recommend.

I am happily married AND I don't like texting BUT I always like to see what the young people are doing. They are sending flirty messages with the wink emoji and the blush emoji! That's fine! But sometimes they send texts like "Why don't you come over anymore?" and "I guess you forgot about me, whatever" and those texts are ill-advised.

As far as I can tell, this author is neither a therapist nor a scientist, but he does have a lot to say about persuasion. Some of his advice seems like common sense to me, but there are also some points I'd never thought of.

In a nutshell:

• Value yourself and your time.
• Don't text while drunk.
• Accept that not all men will fall for you. Ignore the ones who are erratic and/or show little effort so you will have time to select from the ones who truly want a connection with you.
• Two sentences max per tweet.
• One emoji max per sentence.
• Two texts in a row at most.
• Avoid "LOL," "hahaha," and multiple laughing emoji. They make you seem nervous.
• Do not negotiate conflicts or have long, emotional discussions by text. Those are for in-person or on-the-phone conversations.
• If you can't figure out why a guy keeps texting instead of calling you or asking you out, it's fine to tell him that you'd love to hear his voice. Add a wink emoji to keep things lighthearted.
• If you believe the guy is worth pursuing, then send him imaginative, vivid texts that he's isn't going to get from anyone else. These aren't sexual fantasies. If he sends a low-effort text like "Whatcha doin," instead of responding "Nothing," you could say, "Oh, I'm eating something I probably shouldn't be eating" with a wink emoji or "I just spent five minutes watching two squirrels fighting. I even gave them names."
• The author believes that there's a big difference between "I wish you were her with me" and "I wish I were there with you." To him, the first one implies "I have a fun, exciting life that I'd love for you to be a part of" and the second one implies "I'm sad and lonely."
• If you ask a guy a question by text and he doesn't respond for three days and then tries to restart the conversation without offering an explanation or answering your question, then he is either texting lots of women or back-burnering you and only texting when he is bored and wants attention. Give him what he deserves: no response from you.
• If a guy only texts you after midnight, he is either a player or a lovesick vampire. Either way, he's not the guy for you.

I completed the audiobook which I do recommend.

Pros: goods tips, the author does seem to have women’s interest in mind and does implement ethics when revealing tips to the audio. I do plan to read/ listen to more Bruce Bryan’s books to keep my mind fresh in the dating game.

Cons: sometimes the narrator has a “mansplaning” voice and it does turn me off at times. A lot of male romantic advice books have contradicting advice which gets confusing and is the main reason women can struggle with men. That’s part of why they can be such a grey area romantically it feels. Some of these texts would definitely turn me off if they were sent to me though. I don’t like over zealousness and it can be a turn off.

2024 was a year of dating for me for the first time in years, as well as many of my friends. While it felt embarrassing to read this, I was surprised by how straightforward, useful, affirming, and fun this was to read. The author was a total girl’s girl - he pointed out texting behavior with examples that are red flags of a toxic or even abusive man. This wasn’t about ‘games’ or trying to change who we are as women - this book was more about understanding a new perspective on communication behavior that can so often be a mystery. I’ll also add that although this book is targeted for women about men, the advice is equally useful across genders and sexualities - at least from my queer / bisexual point of view. Def worth reading!

Okay so it's not my proudest claim that I've read the book but the other books of Bruce Bryans were so entertaining, I'd even say funny that I thought I would like this one too.
Unfortunately I did not and I would argue that it's because of the simple fact that it is for a different generation. However, that's okay, I'm sure someone from the late millennials or upper gens will find it helpful but the book is outdated for anyone younger, at least in my opinion.

Great Read well recommended ladies

Wonder why he doesn't respond? Read this and rid those insecurities ladies😎

Strong Men don't want clingy, insecure women. Maybe REAL Business Men don't have tons of free time just laying about while he's running through your mind. Just read this book😉

Solid practice advice.

Bruce writes in a very conversational style. The minute you pick up one of his books he has you trusting him. His straightforward advice is key to navigating the crazy dating world with polish and finesse.

It’s not a guide to how to spoof a guy, it’s practical no nonsense tips on pitfalls to avoid and gives gentle direction to strength the strong communication you already have with your dates.

I would recommend this book. #martchoices

Perhaps because I read “Act Like a Lady Think Like a Man” first, I did not get much from this book. At the end of the day try not to text men. Literally, just use the tax does it mean to claim information. Texting should not be used as a way to communicate starting a relationship or getting to know someone. If you stick to that you are more inclined to find a relationship with a good man.

New But Not So New

Stars for Bruce always explaining and giving examples. The material is the same old don’t say anything stupid, don’t do anything stupid, don’t chase him and respect your time in an effort to get him to do the same. I don’t plan my next relationship to be text based, but this should help someone in that position.

Fantastic Book

Please allow me to start by saying that this work contained great advice for the Women that have problems communicating with Men on any level. What I didn’t like it’s long enough.

I did not read this one from cover to cover but I flipped through it with a few friends. Much of this is stuff you already know. It is a cute read though and I can see how this could work with some of the younger men in my office but with an older man not so much.

Very Helpful, I Hope!

While texting with a long time friend, texting is the new normal. Reconnected after 23 year estrangement, but still unable to figure him out, a Capricorn. Probably why. 😊
