5.0 out of 5 stars Proof of the pudding. 13 April 2006
By Gigi
Format:Paperback
I read this book many years ago and having just celebrated my 30th wedding anniversary feel I am in a position to confirm how brilliant this book is. Barbara's advice has come back to me time and time again. When I first read it completely changed many of my preconceptions that I was not even aware of. There were 'Victorian' values subtly running through my 21st century relationship and Barbara empowered me to chuck 'em out and enjoy life and enjoy my husband! I have recommended this book to many people over the years and it always hits the spot!

5.0 out of 5 stars Relationship improving stuff 6 Feb 2008
By Reader
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I originally read this book 8 years ago, when I started dating my boyfriend who is now my husband of 3 years. I didn't pick it up again until recently, when I mentioned it to a friend. Of course, now that my husband and myself are living together, the dynamics of the relationship have changed quite markedly. Apart from explaining the usual differences in how men and women think and behave (which in itself was a revelation at times), the book also covers top 20 turn offs (which was a useful reminder of do's and don'ts). In addition, the book delves deeper into damaging and passion killing behaviours which women get trapped in eg. `taking up a mothering role' and `filling in the blanks in a relationship' in order to `earn love'. It also covers why although you may be giving yourself totally to your man, he can become resentful and bored because of this. I found this book immensely useful and eye-opening with simple explanations to help understand behaviours of men and women. I am now working towards letting go of some of the mistakes that I have inadvertently been making in order to make myself indispensable and possibly taking over from where my husband's mother left off rather than behaving like a wife and partner !!! This book is full of useful information and straightforward advice about understanding and communicating with men and is strongly recommended to anyone who is married or in a serious relationship. Moreover, the same principles can be applied to relationships with your father, colleagues and boss etc. Picking the book up after a number of years, it didn't hurt to be reminded where I might have been going wrong (and yes, it is mostly women that get it wrong by their wrong reactions to the way that men simply are). One of the few books I've read which is worth its weight in gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Book 29 Dec 2005
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book is well written, informative and helpful. The author is intelligent, articulate and does not patronize her reader. She gives valuable insight and interesting psychological arguments behind her theories. If you just skip the first section about how men are from another planet, then you will find a very readable and useful book. I would highly recommend the chapters dealing with the 6 mistakes all women make and the chapter about the top 20 turn offs! Very Very Interesting and Insightful. Even if you have read a million books about men and relationships. I am sure that you will find some new, and realistic advice that can benefit any reader in her understanding of men.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful only if you want it to help. 19 May 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is helpful only if you want it to, just like anything else in life. I had a poor relationship that I got out of. I started to read the book after I got rid of that bad man. It helped me and I understood it. However I have a girlfriend I gave the book to and it helped her for that short time. My theory is that a woman chooses a Certain type for some psychological reasons of her own. If you have a difficult time understanding your man than thats you, not him. You chose him. Either get rid of him or learn about him. Yet in some relationships the man should be dumped. Beating, Laziness, Selfishness should not be tolerated. A relationship is consisted of two people striving for EACHOTHER TO BE HAPPY.

2.0 out of 5 stars Should be called the book of supression! 25 Sep 2012
By Julie
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It is every woman's dream to understand the workings of a man's mind, hence why i ended up buying this book. What high expectations i had. The first chapter gave an insight into why men bahave the way they do which i liked but then it was down hill all the way, so far down hill i found myself becoming angry at what i was reading!!

This book bascially blames woman for all of the downfalls in relationships and then to pour salt in the wound explains how we SHOULD behave to make men feel loved and want us! It tells us what not to say, how we should respond and how to put our needs second. There is a chapter which is about the bedroom and activities within it. I became fuming mad when i read that a friend of this writer did not like acting out oral intimate moments on her partner but instead of saying to her friend that if she was not comfortable performing such tasks then her partner should respect that, she went ahaead and told her that doing this oral act was a womans way of letting a man know she 'accepts him fully' and that will make him feel like he can open up to her! Plus to see the 'task' as her being nice to the little vulnerable man inside him, that she is taking care of... I have never read such offensive nonsense in all my life.

Just to let you know Girls that if you dont feel comfortable with performing any act with a man then just say NO!!!! It is your body, your mind and you own it, so dont take any notice of this drivell. That is being a powerful woman!!!!
