Review # 1 was written on 2007-08-15 00:00:00 Brian Rosonke I don't know how I got this book. It just appeared one day. I certainly don't live with a man. However, this was a very good book. The author gives a lot of reverse psychology tips on how to get a man to do what you want while making him think it is his idea. I would recommend this book to any woman in a relationship--living together or not, and also married women. Just don't let your man find this book, lol.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-01-25 00:00:00 Lyndon Newman This is sort of a tongue-in-cheek manual for women on how to make co-habitation with your fella more enjoyable, how to be the perfect woman for him, how to get him to lock it down, etc. It features lots of vintage-y 1950s-60s photos and plays off of all those guides that were so popular back in our parents' day. There's lots of common sense & good advice for relationships here, but delivered in a comically vintage way. The talk of using positive reinforcement on your man reminded me of the Doris Day / Bobby Darin movie When A Man Answers (I think that's the one) where she trains her husband to behave better secretly using tips from a dog training manual. Worick suggests such ideas as "schedule a time to be spontaneous, as contrary as that may sound"; or when designing the baby nursery theme you may consider an outer space theme because "aliens are always nifty". :-) But one tip she gives I know to be undeniably false in our house - "Make baked beans and leave out the bacon. He will never miss that smoky pork product." LOL, well I figure if my fella is bringing home the bacon, least I can do is cook it for him! Judging from the grins he gets when he smells me making it, I can guarantee he'd miss it if I said nope, never again. So there's some fun tips and whatnot here, but my favorite part was just all the cool art & funny (but seriously, these are handy!) charts
