what's right about "The Men out There"

THE MEN OUT THERE offers women a chance to get it right after having made mistakes in past relationships. Barash and Kasson give sound advice about the types of men and how to decifer their faults. The authors emphasize how frequently women repeat their pattern over and over, so that the boy they liked in high school becomes the man they marry, divorce and remarry. These types of men are discussed, chapter by chapter and include: The Narcissist/isarmer, The Ambivalent Male, The Commitment Phobic/Serially Monogamous Male, The Champion Sport/Macho Male, The Stoic, The Workaholic, and the Married Man. By identitfying these personality types, women are able to look past a man's eye, smile, body language and achievements, to see what his underlying temperment really is. The authors stress that women, armed witht the ability to spot a certain dynamic, are better equipped to work toward minimizing a relationship's weaknesses and maximizing its strengths.

This book is for women everywhere, whether they are divorced, widowed or never married. Single women, looking to have a successful relationship, will benefit greatly from THE MEN OUT THERE: A WOMAN'S LITTLE BLACK BOOK. The book guides women so that they do not make the same mistakes as in the past, and are able to get rid of a bad partner and be able to choose the right partner the next time. The book has a final chapter on finding Mr. Right and it advises women not to let the past get into a present relationship, to give time and energy to the man she chooses, not to be critical and to be open-minded.

Read this book and change your life!

Here is a wonderful guide book that helps women to get relationships right, whether they are married or single. The authors look at ten types of men, from the 'Narcissist/Disarmer to "The Stoic" to the "Instant Family Man" and through interviews with hundreds of women, point out why these relationships succeed or fail. The authors warn against women who date the same kind of man over and over again,without success, and show one how to break their pattern. For women today, who want a partner but need to be in touch with their own desires as well, this book is a must read. I read it and found the right guy-- because I learned how to do it. I highly recommend it -- read this book, change your life!

WHat an excellent source and guide.

For a perfect love relatioonship.

Are the women out there much different?

A good insightfull book on the men out there but it fails in it's occasional lack of objectivity. (Madadona is a woman unafraid of her sexuality, Warren Beatty sleeps around.). The scary thing is that most of the women out there that I have dated match the negative types of the men described in this book. The pot calling the kettle black I guess. But what do you expect from a writer who imples that if a woman has an affair it's a "passion for more" and if a man does it he's just sleeping around. I suspect the writers are not in a committed relationship.....
