Could not put it down until the last laugh on the last page., 30 Aug 2001
I picked up THE JOY OF LETTING WOMEN DOWN after a fourteen-hour day of exhaustive vacationing and could not put it down until the last laugh on the last page. We all know a good cartoonist not only puts us in stitches but also provides insights into our behavior on par with the best philosophers. Natalie d'Arbeloff's cartoons and ironic comments about women and men are the funniest I have read in a decade. "Do you still cling to that old myth about the male of the species being randier than the female? If so wake up to the truth: Women are not only randier than men but female lust, when directed at a WM (Worshipped Man) is far more intense and long-lasting than the male's." Want to know how to be a worshipped male with randy women waiting in line? Want to avoid such men? This tongue-in-cheek, devastatingly wicked and accurate manual on how to develop worshipable sex appeal, will provide every male (even the most machismo-deficient) with new insights on how to attract women who love to worship men. And it just might help women avoid the type before it is too late. This is must reading for any male longing to be worshipped... By giving away the secret techniques of the Worshipped Male, d'Arbeloff provides the necessary tools for any woman (or man) to avoid falling under his spell. "Womanizer, philanderer, adulterer, libertine, rake, roué, lecher, bed-hopper, fornicator, profligate, lady killer. According to rumour, the above are a dying species if not actually extinct. No self-respecting woman wants to be seen dead with one of these dinosaurs of a by-gone phallocentric ages". Really? So why is the Womanizer never short of willing women? Why does the Adulterer make whoopee with adulteresses, the Philander with the Philanderines and the Rake with rakettes?... Reviewed by U.S. reader, Mike Pedretti
