Review # 1 was written on 2011-03-30 00:00:00 Charles Henderson Perhaps I am being "overly sensitive" or a "unfunny feminist" but I found this book to be shallow and incredibly patronizing. This book promises practical relationship advice but instead paints all men as hopeless and totally clueless and paints all women as delicate flowers who spend their time sobbing about every little thing. It implies that women can never be logical because we are mindless slaves to our emotions while men wouldn't understand emotions if they jumped out of a bush naked and punched them in the face. There are a ton of other relationship advice books out there that are actually written as though both members of the relationship are, you know, actually people. I highly suggest reading one of those books instead of this one.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-04-26 00:00:00 John Miller My gf got me this for our one year anniversary as a gag gift (I hope). Funny stuff is contained within its pages along with some practical advice. I look forward to theatrically pulling it out and looking at it during tense relationship moments.
