Is He Gay?: For Every Woman Who's Met the Ideal Man and is Wondering...Why Hasn't he Tried to Kiss Me? [Paperback]

Ed Baker (Author, Illustrator), Chris Busick (Draft Writer)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 4, 2000

Once upon a time, a fabulous woman met her ideal man...

He was warm and considerate, openly shared his feelings, always understood her thoughts, loved to cook, and had a killer wardrobe. In short, he was perfect.

She waited patiently for the inevitable day when he would sweep her off her feet and kiss her...

And waited...and waited...

But all she got was erratic calls and friendly hugs...

The day came when she could wait no longer. What was the holdup?

She was forced to ask herself some really tough questions. Is he shy? Is my butt too big? Does he have an unspeakable injury? Is he gay?

Sound familiar?

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute, Funny, and Very Very True, February 20, 2001

This review is from: Is He Gay?: For Every Woman Who's Met the Ideal Man and is Wondering...Why Hasn't he Tried to Kiss Me? (Paperback)

I received this book as a gift from my best friend, who happens to be a gay man. This book tells you all the signs (which are just general, but mostly true) to look for in a guy, and has some of the cutest illustrations. I would recommend this book to any woman out there who thinks she might have picked up a gay best friend instead of a boyfriend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gay guys should read this too..., November 19, 2000

This review is from: Is He Gay?: For Every Woman Who's Met the Ideal Man and is Wondering...Why Hasn't he Tried to Kiss Me? (Paperback)

I bought this for a female friend who doesn't know I'm gay after we debated whether someone else was or not. (She assumes that all effiminate men are gay and that all gay men are effiminate, - I had to laugh to myself as she said this and I butched myself up even more than normal!)

The book has some annoying stereo-types, like all gay men are great dancers (I'm not), but since it's clearly tongue-in-cheek and a quick read, it's great for a few good chuckles to any one, gay, straight, male or female.

5.0 out of 5 stars All of your "Guy" friends could be your "Gay" friends..., September 27, 2000

This review is from: Is He Gay?: For Every Woman Who's Met the Ideal Man and is Wondering...Why Hasn't he Tried to Kiss Me? (Paperback)

This book is a witty, entertaining, enlightening look at a quandary faced by so many young women who are plagued with wonderful guy friends that just don't seem to date ANYone. One of my best friends referred this to me who is a closeted gay man. This book not only made me laugh, but I didn't feel as dumb as I used to. Sometimes, gay men seem to be the answer to all of your problems; but then again, there is one thing that a gay man just CAN'T do for a woman...so we have to love them for what they can do for us...
