Knows nothing about men

As a mindful, lover of a man, I find this book to be insanely insensitive and immensely ignorant. We are not such dumb, simple creatures as the author implies. And some of us, who loath being lumped into a pile with every other man on the planet, actually do love first. The amount of generalization thrust upon men in this book is about as offensive as it would be to say that women only belong in the kitchen or the bedroom. Seriously, don’t waste your time with this one.

An insult to emotionally intelligent men.

I bought this audio book in the hope that it would help to improve my already great relationships with women generally. As one of those men who might have been called an "emotional block of stone" some years ago I had already done a lot of work to become "emotionally intelligent" and to understand what women want.

What I found in this audio book was the narrator "talking down" to men in general, as if they were second class citizens. The audio book inferred that women have all of the emotional intelligence and that men have very little or none.

Its a real shame that a book like this didn't give men at least some credit for what they have been doing over past years to be worthwhile partners and contributors in relationships. After all, if men had known years ago what is was that they were supposed to do to further assist the ones they love, it is reasonable to assume that they would have done exactly that then instead of over the past few years.

It seems that the author might have been so busy listening to her own head and then writing down what she thinks is "the answer" rather than going out and finding out whats really been going on while she has been asleep.

My Assessment - Not worth listening too.

Four hour torture test.

Author believes that men are apes and they need to be taught not to fling crap.
She makes a statement like "...guys, we just want you to..." in a patronizing tone that suggest she is constantly winking to her girlfriends in the audience whose endorsement she must have.
The scary thing is that she protrays herself as an authority on relationships.
What women want men to know can be summed up in "listen to what I have to say and you'll get some loving."
