About the Author

From AudioFile
An editor and a writer at MEN'S HEALTH create a comprehensive guide for women on how to connect in every way with men. It explains how men think, communicate, isolate themselves, handle hurt feelings, make relationship commitments, and deal with their sexual needs. Stephen Hoye sounds credible with this material. He's engaging as a speaker and sounds perfectly comfortable with the sexual topics. He adds enough of his own personality to be a positive factor in the production, only occasionally sounding a bit condescending toward listeners. However, this quality, along with the insider tone of the writing and the authors' pervasive empathy toward men, will make some female listeners feel more like outsiders than the target audience.

Finally, someone who gets it!
At long last, someone that has put some common sense into the communication gap between men and women. If only I had been armed with this information years ago.

I've grown tired of all of these so called "experts" that take the liberty of telling me what I need to do or what's "wrong with me." I'm tired of these experts speaking to me like I'm in remedial relationships 101.

I am not sure why I decided to take a chance on this book, but I am glad that I did. Mr. Zinczenko has finally given me the information that I WANT to hear - What the heck is going on in a man's head! And not the author's head, for once there is a book that has some valuable research as its subject matter. He doesn't praddle on about his own beliefs, concerns or mistakes. He gives us information straight from the horses mouth (interviews with thousands of men)and lays it out in a simple, smart and entertaining book. I absolutely love the fun informational asides like "What it means when" and "Say this, not that."

Do I think this book will solve my relationship problems? I'm not sure. I will say this much. I'm much more well informed than I was before and this book has certainly given me some persepctive into what it takes to have meaningful communication with the opposite sex.

I recommend this book to anyone that is fed up with men telling us how we should feel or think. Finally, a man willing to tell us how THEY feel and think. Now that's information I can use.

Another Cute Young Single Guy Tells Girls How to Date
Dating/Relationship Guides like Weight Loss/Dieting Guides all claim to have a great secret to impart to you...and we always fall for it. There is no secret to maintaining a healthy trim figure: eat moderately, exercise and drink water; same goes for dating guides for women. All guides will say the same thing, especially if they are written by male models whose dating pool includes every human being in the universe; look great (i.e. sexy), keep the conversation light, make him dance to your rules and reward him when he does and punish him when he doesn't, don't make it easy for him, men want to hunt...let them, never nag, make him feel like "the man", all while remaining serenely independent and ready to move on at the drop of the hat.

Fun to read, but hardly revelatory; these are the same guidelines Mom and Grandma lived by back in the 1950's. Nevertheless, there are some tried and true methods that are probably worth keeping in mind when you venture out with a new man.

Not all the hype
I picked up the book after reading a review of it in O Magazine (Oprah Winfrey's publication). The book is an easy read, but the content doesn't explicity follow the chapter titles, ie. How to make a man fall in love, etc. Maybe I'm a bit too rigid, but when the book says that there are three things you can do to make man think of you as the one, and doesn't follow it with a list of three things, I feel a little letdown.

The book did, however, help hammer in some truths that I'm in denial about as a woman. The chapter on "it's not you, it's me" is 100% true. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise...and don't let your wildly optimistic side convince you otherwise, either. Even though the chapter parrots the entire premise of "He's Just Not That Into You," it never hurts hearing the cold, hard truth again.
