Awful, and Mean

I thought I was buying a light, comical look at dating men. What I got, instead, was a book so cynical and critical of men, it had to come out of Los Angeles. This book took every idiosyncraty possible to the human male, and used it to judge that person unworthy of love. In fact, I tried to discern exactly what man would remain in the authors' dating pool after the undateable men were removed. The only survivors I came up with were gay men. Only they would be presentable enough for these two women. After a brief perusal of the book, I was grateful it was a paperback. I put it directly into the recycling bin.

Funny!

I saw this reviewed in a few different magazines, and I bought it for my friend for her birthday and she loved it. I may buy another copy for myeslf =)

Hysterical!!!!

This book was written to make you laugh!!! There are so many comments written here by people who appear to lack a sense of humor. I was laughing so hard reading this book I almost cried! Most of the "fashion" and sayings used by the men depicted in the book are lame and outdated. It would be difficult to argue otherwise. I'm certain there are men out there still wearing pleated khakis or saying stupid things like" Booya!" This book may help them to see the error of their ways. But overall, this book was meant to entertain and put a smile on your face. Lighten up and laugh!!!

One of the Great Books of Our Time

This wonderful book finally puts what we've known all along right out in the open for all to see. Yes, it's official: women run the world! Men want sex so badly that they will cater to any whimsical price women place on it and this book is full of the nuts-and-bolts shallowness of this feminine power play. Sure, men run the worlds of business and politics...because it's the best way to get sex from women! Women have what men want and since there's nothing in it for them to become rich and famous (they don't get any more attractive by doing so) they've seen fit to create another economy, one where they barter the goods for power, the power to make you stop doing things you like to do. You must fall into line, their line, the one you have to toe if you want what only they possess. So if you've never been able to figure out why the comfort and grooviness of socks and sandals is considered so horrible, read this book, look at the pictures of the authors, think about what motivates them, and you will be free.

Are you undateable?

I had to do a double-take on the title, then I became intrigued. Upon reading it, I have to say this is one funny read. Not only that, the subjects and advice in the book are spot-on. While many men might not be in this category, it will help most just by improving attitude and taking it a little less seriously. A seriosly good read, along with How to Get a Girlfriend: Two Classic Dating Guides in One Volume-Understanding Women and How To Be The Man Women Want.

This book is hysterical

I picked up this book expecting the worst and sat down and didn't get up until I had finished it. I laughed out loud several times. Some of the things just struck my funny bone. I know that many will think the authors are mean but I really believe they have our best interest at heart. I wish they would write one for women too.
