Editorial Reviews

Review

I absolutely loved this book from the first line! It's fun to see where most men's minds are and where most women's minds are. It's very refreshing to learn what the men are truly thinking! --Cassie Mae

I believe this author gives one of the most 'it is what it is' outlooks on relationships, marriage and dating than most books out there on this subject. It is funny, shocking, eye opening, and real. It's a story about life. --Jeanie Herold

Many of the stories made me think and all of them made me laugh. If you want a book filled with wit and insights into the male world and one that is a quick read, that you can pick up and turn randomly to any story, then this is the one. --Timothy D. Webster


Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, November 7, 2009
I absolutely loved this book from the first line! It is hilarious. No wonder the author's friends told him he should write a book. I wish I could meet this author. He must be a riot to hang out with.

The book talks about all different situations. If you are a man reading this you may find yourself in the same predicaments and agree with the way the author thinks. It's fun to see where most men's minds are and where most women's minds are. It's very refreshing to learn what the men are truly thinking!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to laugh and learn more about men--from a man's point of view.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astounding...page turner that will keep you laughing and learning..., November 12, 2009
This book is extremely well written. An easy read that will keep you turning the pages and you will end up finishing it in one sitting. For the guys...you will be histerical through it all and be talking about it while passing the book around to your buddies. For the gals...you will be histerical, a little bit shocked, maybe angry, but have learned a lot about how the male mind of a nice guy really works. And if we are honest with ourselves...he is pretty much on the mark with his portrayal of both men and women, equally fair in the comedy of relationships. The different reactions will fall upon the fact that men laugh easier at reality than most women. In fact, I believe this author gives one of the most..'it is what it is' outlooks on relationships, marriage and dating than most books out there on this subject.
It is funny, shocking, eye opening, and real. It's a story about life. To put the book down and not finish it because you are put off by a few of the realities portrayed in some of the chapters is a mistake. If you take the time to read what the author is really relaying you will find he is actually not only nice, but considerate and has offered a realistic view of exactly what a nice guy is all about. There is no perfect out there and it is so much more fun to see the humor of it all than it is to pretend the truths portrayed about guys dont exists!! Hopefully all will see the incredible humor and maybe learn how to have a better relationship with your significant other by understanding them better and accepting that MEN!!...they will be what they will be... :-)! And we love them anyway!!!
Well done, Phil! A+++++
