Unmasking masculinity Book

I hate, hate this book, but in fairness to the authors, the book still gets 5 stars. Why? Because this book has a ton of information that single women (and women in less-than-committed relationships) need to know. The authors paint an ugly portrait of your average yuppie single man, but for the most part these things are true. As a single woman in her late 20s who has been inexplicably brushed off by too many men, I purchased this book out of desperation: what the hell am I doing "wrong"?

This book had a lot of answers, and it gets five stars from me because I feel more empowered to pussy-whip the next jerk I end up dating. Now I know that I need to babysit a man's ego; hold back my emotions and thoughts so I don't scare him off (mind you, I'm not talking about saying "I love you" or talking about marriage or kids...just regular communication); not get too attached and let him back out of the relationship on a moment's notice with no responsibility for hurting me; and hope that one day one of these pigs will like me enough to lock down our relationship for an eternity of misery. I'm being a little sarcastic, but I now know how unworthy men are of women's love. You want me to play the game? Fine. But I'm still holding out for a guy who breaks the hideous mold described in this book.
