I enjoyed the first couple chapters of this book. I thought they were funny, insightful and mirrored every wake up call any gay friend has ever tried to give me. Eventhough I liked the beginning of the book, it wasn't really a guide to understanding men, but more like a guide to dating. Then somewhere toward the end it turned into every other self help book that I hate. It became preachy and religious. It went from a guide to understanding men (that really is a guide to dating) to a guide to loving yourself and fighting depression. When I started to feel like the author was talking down to me, I just started skimming through it. Real life scenarios were described, but there was nothing given to explain what the woman in the example did wrong to get the response out of her man that she did. In the end, the most I learned from this self help book was that men want to have sex above everything else and will pretty much sleep with anyone no matter what they look like or how they act, but will marry you if you never have sex with them...but then they will sleep with others on the side (yes, the author actually said that at one point). This just is not what I want to believe and if it's true, then I will happily become a cat lady. I was relieved when it ended and only finished it because I received it from the Early Review program from LibraryThing.com and wanted to give it an honest review.

I’ve had this earlier review e-book for quite some time and finally pushed my way through it. It was fun read here and there, lots of good tidbits, but I have a feeling it’s not exactly the same book that was being released to the rest of the world.

This book is almost a Sex and the City guide book for women and how to avoid dating the wrong men, bad situations, and even friendship advice. It’s very similar to other books I’ve read about dating, but written by a gay guy there was a definitely different spin to the whole thing which was quite fun.

Overall, quick and fun read.
