I love this book. With a highly original and amusing angle, Lauren Francis teaches women much about men, relationships and what doesn't come naturally to us.It is axiomatic that we cannot know how another type of being thinks, yet still women think men think like women do, + men often make the same error. There are quite a few mentors teaching both men + women how to understand +work with the mysterious other gender. Lauren Francis has a fun approach that shows us what works, what doesn't, and specific instructions in negotiation with men in relationships or other sexual encounters. Well worth a look if you find relating fascinating as I do.

The woman who wrote this book is clearly quite clever. Her associations of men to birds is truly amazing. There are quite a diverse number of birds out there, from eagles to doves to peacocks. This book is entertaining, but I can't say it changed much about the men in my life (or how I deal with them). I'd buy it for the humor, but not for the self-help aspect.

This book is an enjoyable, sometimes hilarious, read, and brings to light that men dont think the way women do,
which I found very intelligent point, but I didnt find much value in it as far as how to catch and keep a man. Though Lauren Frances is quite a mankiller with her looks and adeptness at manipulating (not necessarily in a bad way), I think the books/videos by Ginie Sayles, the trailblazer in catching and keeping a man, is still by far the BEST. I loved How to Marry The Rich (video), which shows not only how to captivate a man, but how to get him to the alter and keep him beyond that. Body language is such a HUGE part of that! Comparing Lauren to Ginie, I would say Ginie has a more genuine (or should I say less detectable) way of relating to men when strategies are involved, and found her (many) books more real world applicable.

Ok, you just can't expect too much from this book; but seriously, who would. The title gives a great idea of the gravity of the book. It is cute, trite, funny, light. In terms of actually helping to get you a man/husband/boyfriend, it didn't help me a bit. Just in case you're wondering, [...] is what finally DID help me get married. I'd recommend the Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women seminar over any of these silly man-hunting books, any day. That said, buy the book for a quick, cute read if that is what you're in the mood to do. I do also recall that the author seemed rather, hmmm, ummm, how do I say this, "open minded about her sexuality".

oh my! Lauren's hilarious book hits right on the money in her game comparison of men to fowl. When you finally stop giggling, a girl can learn a thing or two as well- you'll definitly want to pass this one on to all you're friends!
I just got a copy for a friend who is getting married (to see what she's left behind!) loved it so much I got myself one..

Excellent reading.Very informative and gives a new perspective on relationships. great tool to maybe have a new approach on even relationships with friends and family not only partners.

Fantastic book! Utterly useful and HIGHLY entertaining. In fact, a scream! If you want useful information to enhance your chances of attracting a good quality man into your life and die laughing at the way the advice is worded, then read this book!

This book has everything you need to get your love life up-and-running. And what a fun read to boot! I'm happy to say, Lauren Frances is the real deal.

Lauren's book is a brilliant analysis of men. She has really done her research. This book was truly enlightening and entertaining.

I had ordered 3 books; this one, the he's not that into you, and act like a lady think like a man. This book was by far the best of the 3. It was really funny and gave what I think is great advice- some already tested and even proven. Its a fast read and its def a repeat read.
