Dating plays an integral role in the lives of men and women everywhere. But it's not an easy world to navigate. In The Twenty-First-Century Guide to Bachelorhood, author Brad Berkowitz offers a practical guide to being a single guy. He describes what single guys are thinking and why they do what they do in regard to dating.

A single man playing the dating game for more than twenty years in Manhattan, Berkowitz has compiled an extensive list of do's and don'ts for males who are trying to meet that special someone. The Twenty-First-Century Guide to Bachelorhood discusses:

• The best place to meet members of the opposite sex
• How to prepare for a date
• What to do on a date
• The chronological anatomy of a relationship
• The common pitfalls of relationships
• What to avoid at the beginning of a relationship
• Questions women have about men's habits
• What guys think

Learning about the opposite sex is an ongoing experiment, and this guide helps distill some of that important information in a sometimes humorous, but helpful, way.

LMAO....This is one funny book and having experienced many such situations that are described in this book....I was laughing my socks off...Brad has captured the quintessential life of a bachelor living in a big city....Apartment parties, vacations, on a plane, going to the gym....we have all gone thru various events that transpired or did not transpire in meeting the opposite sex. Ever wonder what not to do on a first date or when to call after one, whethere to go for lunch or dinner, how you can make a graceful exit? Its all in here..this is The Bible of Dating and a mandatory read for freshman life and beyond in the big city.. Cant wait for the movie version!

Brad Berkowitz seems to know his relationship stuff. I really enjoyed reading this book-- it's a quick read that gave me a glimpse into the "crazy" mind of the man when it comes to relationships and maybe (just maybe-ha) understanding it a bit more. Reading this helped clarify some questions I have, understand how guys think about certain situations compared to how women think and even warned me about things I should or shouldn't be doing if I am interested in a guy.
I recommend this book to both men and women-- it provides through humor helpful tips in regards to dating. It's not a typical dating book though- it's more like the questions you've discussed with your friends over and over and over-- now answered!!
I even picked up some ideas on where to meet men and especially liked his checklist for men. I think ALL men should use it. I like that the list starts with: Don't take a girls number if you will not call. Brad explains that one in the book. Good start.
If you're single and looking for a relationship-- pick up this book and you'll pick up someone wonderful :)
