Funny and insightful

This was a really funny read. He's right on the money with his unique insight on how the majority of men think. Plus author is friends with Judy Blume. How cool is that?

Best Relationship Advice Book EVER Written

I LOVE this book! I don't think I've laughed so much in a book! The authors witty personality and simple advice makes it a must read! Since reading this book I have talked with many of my males friends about the advice offered to women in this book. Hands down, the number one response I have received is... "Wow, I think every woman should read this book." His advice isn't rocket science, but it isn't pulled out of thin air... it just makes sense!!!!

very entertaining with lots of TRUTH!

I picked up this book recently on a whim...the cover caught my attention as my boyfriend and I have often joked about our toothbrushes having a "relationship" in his bathroom cabinet. At any rate, I am sooo glad I picked it up because 1) it is totally hilarious and 2) there is actually some "useable" truth to this book (as opposed to some relationship books that are just "out there"). I have laughed so hard at this book....and I can only say that I wish I knew Dr. Greg in person--he seems like an old (and infinitely wise) friend. I have been divorced for a while and been dating my current boyfriend about 8 months--so much good advice that I felt was appropriate to my age (37) but could also appeal to younger readers. i've been out of the dating game for about 15 years so it was refreshing to read some guy's insight that didn't seem contrived. I even emailed Greg to tell him how much we were both enjoying his book....he responded within a day. GO GET THIS BOOK!!!!

The antidote to He's Just Not That Into You

Written in an appealing, mildly self-deprecating tone, author Greg Gilderman writes with a level of self-reflection and honesty rare in relationship books, and, it's to the benefit of all straight women, especially those who never questioned the dating dogma that men are actually all martians. "She's The One" is smart, entertaining and insightful. It is the self-help antidote to "He's Just Not That Into You," a book which, one comes to understand, has had the effect of convincing millions of women that any flawed relationship they've ever been in was devoid of genuine emotion. Men, asserts Gilderman, are more vulnerable and sensitive than women realize, and understanding that may be a single woman's most important step towards entering into a happy, lasting relationship. Men are also more optimistic and romantic than most people assume. Even in today's cynical, self-conscious, cyber-dating landscape, 90 percent have been married at least once by the time they're 40. But to achieve a meaningful relationship, Gilderman advises against using the tips provided by women's magazines -- magazines for which he has written in the past, and apparently doesn't plan to write for again. He mocks their absurd sex tips (e.g. prostate massages: unnecessary and, perhaps, counter-productive), and reveals that beyond establishing chemistry and common interests, landing a good man may be nothing more complicated than being able to display thoughtful affection, understanding and kindness. Funny, real-life interviews and examples illustrate the point. Much of the advice dispensed herein is down-to-earth common sense that your grandmother could probably tell you, but it is the kind of advice that many women are lacking, nonetheless. This book made me laugh, and made me feel better about what's really going on with the opposite sex. One hole: Gilderman is for the most part concerned with the first step: commitment, and so does not get on to describing how men think when answering the next, inevitable question: "When are we having babies?" Perhaps, if GG's advice is taken to heart, we can look for the answer in She's the One, Part II.

An amazing book!

Thank you Gregory Gilderman. You have managed to write a book that makes sense of the confusing world of dating and relationships. I read this book in one day as I could not put it down. It made me smile and I've found that relationship books usually don't have that effect on me. When finally putting the book down I felt better about myself, men and relationships and realized we are all in this together and if we lighten up a bit we could have a lot more fun with each other. I have learned more about men in this book, and how they really feel, than I have from any other book I've read. And had a few laughs while doing it, which was a bonus. This is a book to be shared amongst friends. Enjoy!
