This review is from: The Man's No-Nonsense Guide to Women: How to Succeed in Romance on Planet Earth (Paperback)

The essense of this insightful book is based on the premise that if you don't quickly size up the type of woman you're dealing with, then you are doomed to deal with a LOT of frustration, anquish and wasted time, money and effort.

His "in your face approach" is a refreshing change from the normal relationship psychobabble crap that is currently making the rounds.

This really lays out today's female human in simple and easy to understand terms. Looking back, I can relate to what Marc is saying. His basic tenant is that you figure her out early and if she displays certian behaviors up front, cut your losses NOW. I know she's cute and sexy and it's hard to resist her feminine charm. You may have already slept with her and she was a fantastic lover, but get over it before it's too late. Marc's point is to help you decipher certian traits that are a likely sign of things to come down the road, leading to divorce and you losing half your net-worth. Even worse, having to pay child support for the next 18 years.
BE AWARE GENTLEMEN!

The only thing about his self-preservation strategy is that it seems to limit the available field of potential candidates even more than it already is. I mean once you follow his "no-nonsense" advice there are very few decent women left. He would say, "don't settle and don't accept the abuse". But most of the women out there seem to have the negative traits he says to run from. I've met them with all the hang-ups and mindsets and few of the virtues. My mistake in the past was hanging-on too long, thinking it will work out. I saw all the signs and wanted to ignore them. Eventually, BAM! - right upside my head.

What is "no-nonsense" about this book is to not waste time hoping she'll end up being OK or changing. "Hope is not a strategy".

Go to Marc's website and check out what this brave man is doing in the media to defy the agenda of the Feminist 2.0 double standard. He's an articulate and "no-nonsense" debator who loves and respects women, while unmasking their version of equality.

Marc's book is indeed simple, straight-forward and no-nonsense. He reveals and explains the simple truths and consequences of our relationship drives and choices. Obviously having learned from his own experience, Mark is emerging as a leader in respectful dialogue with, and about, women. This is the kind of book that signals the stirrings of long overdue change; a wake up call that rips right through the core of our society's long held, contradictory, mutually exclusive and dysfunctional beliefs about what a man "should" be (often as dictated by "entitled" women - as he explains), and offers us the awareness that we have the option to not play along. Against the backdrop of that option, we can be much choosier about whom we decide to be with, what we will and will not tolerate from women (and ourselves), and how to protect ourselves from emotional pain, financial ruin and legal nightmares. Ultimately it is a book about respecting women, by being man enough to have the balls to respect ourselves.
