Average customer review:Product Description
Here is the thing about questions: they expose more about the inquirer than they do about the one being queried. If you pay attention, the questions a woman asks will point directly to some of her deepest longings and also reveal some of what she desires most from a man. With this book as a guide, we hope that men and women can move beyond the question of "Why are women the way they are?" to see the authentic heart of a woman. A companion book to "Yup." "Nope." "Maybe." the book for women. Contains a group study guide.
Chapter headings:
- Does This Dress Make Me Look Fat?

From the Back Cover
What’s a guy to do?
Dude, we’ve all been there. . . . She looks you in the eye, cocks her head off to one side, opens her mouth, and fires:
“Does this dress make me look fat?”
“Do you notice anything different about the house?”
“Do you think that woman is pretty?”
“What are you thinking about?”
“Is there anything you don’t like about me?”
Bam! No matter how you answer, you’re trapped, right?
Not necessarily.
Though almost every man has experienced his share of “deer in the headlights” moments, courtesy of the “loaded” questions women ask, very few have ever stopped to think about what is really being asked in the first place.
You see, if you pay close attention, you’ll find that these types of questions reveal a woman’s deepest desires and what she really wants from her man.
Sound complicated? Well, it’s not. In fact, we have found three high-payoff responses to these questions and others like them that will make the woman in your life feel happy, loved, and secure, and make you her hero for life.
Trust us—it really works!

Best Relationship Book that I've Read
This small book is packed with helpful ideas for communicating effectively and understanding what is behind some of the questions women ask. Its an easy read as the stories the authors use as examples are often quite funny.
I read part of this book right across from my girlfriend at a coffee shop and literally was able to take a step forward in our relationship right then and there as I put into practice what I had just learned.
VERY INSIGHTFUL, FUN BOOK!
This is a very helpful book that gave me new insights on how to relate and communicate with women. I enjoyed the humor within the book but also thought it had a lot of meaningful insight on how women think about things compared to men. Wow, we really are different, aren't we? I thought the real life examples shared by the authors made the book fun to read and helped to get across their point in a refreshing way. I wish I had read this book when I was 16. It would have come in handy.
Great Book!
My husband and I really enjoyed this book. We used both books in a couples study and they worked out great. We could relate to so much the authors were writing about...especially the one that had twins like we do. We definitely learned more about why women and men act the way they do.
