Product Description
Review
'Losada plays at being a real life Bridget Jones on the hunt for 'real' men. Her search takes her from building sites to the City trading floors as she tries to understand the male psyche via info from psycholigists and dating experts. Think Michael Moore meets 'Men are from Mars' only a lot funnier.' Glamour Magazine. 'Isabel Losada has achieved the perfect combination of humour, poignancy and intellectual rigour.' The Statesmen. 'Searching and Honest.' The Independent on Sunday.

Format:Paperback
This is utterly fantastic. The author is funny, brave, witty, as the reviews say, sharp and insightful and clever - I could go on and on. What so impressed me was firstly, that she chose to tackle this almost impossible issue in the first place and secondly that she continued to do so whilst not pulling any punches or resorting to Hollywood happy endings. There are too many patronising books for single women out there that pretend that if you go to your local supermarket with your lipstick on you are miraculously going to meet someone that you are going to want to be the father of your children. Like the author I have many many single female friends of all ages that are without men in their lives, without fathers and without lovers. They are mostly successful career women. What Losada tackles in this book is the myth that, because they are alone, there is supposedly something wrong with them. This book proves, once and for all, that this is not the case. I would give this book six or seven stars if I could. I couldn't recommend it more highly for single women everywhere. It's utterly essential reading. And it made me laugh out loud on the tube too. Buy one for your single girlfriends too - it will cheer them up.

I'm recommending this book to all my friends, whether single or not. It's fresh, realistic, very funny and comes up with some fantastic insights into why men and women don't see things the same way in relationships. Isabel Losada goes well beyond the obvious places in her exhaustive search for available men (who, it turns out, are not the same as single men). Plus, it must be said, her necessary trials of dating sites and singles events are spot on - carbon copies of my own experiences in fact - and I found it difficult not to laugh out-loud in recognition, while reading Men! on the tube. Anyone who is fed up with being single and wondering why they never meet anyone half decent will get a whole different perspective by reading this. If you concentrate on having adventures and doing the things you love, you may just meet someone along the way, but in the meantime you'll be enjoying Life, not moping about waiting for that fictitious perfect man. I was bursting with positive energy by the end.

like james i am absolutely engrossed in isabels book at the moment, its a fascinating, poignant, hilariously funny and wonderful read. im a lesbian so picked it up thinking it wouldnt be hugely relevant to me but seeing as i loved 'battersea park' and 'a beginners guide' i wanted to see what isabel had been up to next and i must say it IS relevant to EVERYONE who lives and breathes. its an absolute joy to read and utterly absorbing, be prepared to read it from cover to cover so start it when you've got a free couple of days! isabel losada is an author who never fails to deliver and inspire, i now want to ride a harley davidson and go diving in egypt(...i may even give plumbing a go!) but i'll give internet dating and singles night a miss for now!
