Book Description

November 6, 2008
Relationships. Marriage. How do they work, and why don't they last? Flip on the TV or peruse the self-help section at any local bookstore and you see the same theme over and over again: Women need to alter their behavior, and should work harder at understanding men. But nothing could be further from the truth. Women in committed relationships are not to blame for men's bad behavior, or 100% responsible for failed relationships. Based on author Charles Orlando's past experience as a "morally challenged" young man, and hundreds of interviews with men and women, The Problem with Women... is Men: The Evolution of a Man's Man to a Man of Higher Consciousness takes readers on a humorous, blunt, tell-all romp through the world of men and their issues. Women can regain their sanity, men can evolve beyond their primal instincts, and perhaps society will start to raise the bar on what the term "man" means.

More About the Author

Charles J. Orlando is a relationship expert, bestselling author, and television and radio personality best known as the author of the acclaimed relationship book series The Problem with Women... is Men®, and is the sole voice behind the smash-hit advice and relationship page The Problem with Women... is Men on Facebook.

Since the publishing of The Problem with Women... is Men: Vol. 1, his advice page on Facebook has grown from a small following of 600 Fans (March 2010) to over 640,000+ today, with the increase in awareness driven purely on word of mouth--and with over 65% of fans returning every month. Charles has been working directly with thousands of men and women and indirectly with hundreds of thousands via his Facebook page. His approach is one of reality and balance, steering clear of techniques that might sound good in a clinical book/setting yet nearly impossible to apply when considering the organic reality of life (kids, bills, jobs, shifting dynamics, outside influences, interpersonal relationships external to the central relationship, etc.).

After his article, "Why Women Cheat: A Married Man Goes Undercover on AshleyMadison.com" made the homepage of MSN and Yahoo!, it was optioned for a feature film, and Charles was contracted to write the screenplay. Since, Charles is filming two TV talk show pilots--including the recently launched Game Over Show--and has been tapped to host a radio show, write video game episodic content, represent an online dating site as spokesperson, and much more.

Charles is an active member of Mensa ("the High IQ Society"), is a contributing writer to a variety of online and print publications, and is regularly tapped by the media for his relationship and marriage expertise, including Self, Men's Health, Shape, and The Reporter.

LOL; I can see how this guy was a womanizer; he's very slick and soft in his delivery.

I read this book because I'm very hard on men and thought it would be a revelation but the problem with this book is not all men are total scumbag players; not all men cheat; not all men are disrespectful to women; not all men are tools. He tries to manipulate both sexes to see his point of view.

I watched an hour and a half seminar on him; not for the book but because he's a great marketer. He talked about the book and the stories involved and he's as smooth as silk. All he talked about was manipulating an emotional response from the audience on his facebook page and book, and getting a GREAT support team and fan following on his publication. He even says on his site he has many people that blindly back him and even attack people that disagree with him or question him. This is the king of manipulation. Once a player always a player.

It DEFINITELY is a man bashing book. He is very smooth and soft spoken so it doesn't seem like it. Instead of telling women to take responsibility for choosing the men they choose and be so easily fooled, he softly talks about how men are and how to catch them doing it and pick the right one. He always talks about how a man needs to grow up, or how he's manipulating the woman, or how he only gives to get but to say that all men are that way would be that all women are sleazy and love to be on girls gone wild. He was that way but not all men are.

This is what is very in today; a former player, good looking, who now is married and kisses up to the female population by revealing what a jerk he was and the signs to look at to expose one.

This is a wonderful book for someone who doesn't know basic manners. Otherwise it seems to be just a book on subjugation as an art for men.

1.0 out of 5 stars not sure why other reviews were so high September 30, 2010
By deborah
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I wanted to like this book, but I didn't. It read like a rant from someone's blog. I felt like I slogged through a lot of pages without really coming away with anything of value. It felt too casually written, though the tone might appeal to some, and relies on a combination of stereotypical observations and somewhat strange personal anecdotes to end up with a seemingly random and obviously individual list of things for men to read, know or do to become "Evolved" - although throughout, the author seems to be addressing women. In the right mood I would have been entertained instead of annoyed, but overall I would recommend almost any other relationship book over this one. There just wasn't much valuable, as opposed to conversational, content to recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this BEFORE you think you need it! December 31, 2008
Format:Paperback
My 18 year marriage is slowly coming to an end and I've been spending a great deal of time evaluating what went wrong and what could have been improved. I read the book "The Problem with Women... is Men" with interest while wishing Charles J Orlando had written it 18 years earlier.

Many of his points were truths in my marriage but the author provides solutions to the situations society has promoted for years. The reality is that men need to stand up and be responsible for more than just their jobs. Women have been working and taking care of the children and home for decades now - it's time for us to stop enabling the men in our lives and demand the same level of responsibility we take on. This change will free our time to be happier women, better wives and more successful in our chosen careers.

"The Problem with Women... is Men" explains how supporting this change in societal thinking will ultimately benefit BOTH people in the relationship.

The Problem with Women... is Men: The Evolution of a Man's Man to a Man of Higher Consciousness
Charles Orlando's book speaks to a great need in our society. How do men and women learn to treat each other well and live together in harmony? He approaches the question from the male side -- what do men need to learn to make their relationships (and their lives) work? I especially love his chapter 5, "For Women: How to Positively Effect a Man's Evolution Without Losing Your Individuality" because I spend a lot of time in counseling teaching women exactly how to do this.

Charles is insightful, and has hard- won experience from his own life as man, husband and father which he combined with interviews of men and women, and boiled down into the cogent advice in this book.

I frequently recommend it to my clients. This book is a compendium of what men need to learn to make their lives more successful and fulfilling, and women need to understand about men.

Bravo, Charles for observing the devolution of men which is a result of our permissive society, and coming up with a road map toward evolution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T January 26, 2010
By go2girl
Format:Paperback
Charles is a charmer. You can tell he's gotten through life's challenges (and probably a few speeding tickets) with flirtation and humor -- and not just with the women. It's this uncanny ability to understand both sides of the equation that gives him the unique perspective outlined in this book. Not a self-help, but a guide towards realization that what you thought you knew about the other sex (or about yourself) might not be as clear cut as you thought. His moment of transition is when he met his life partner and wife - Tina. It's about the respect you have for your partner and the commitment that follows. Not just a commitment to honor or be faithful -- but a choice to look hard at yourself from another perspective and attempt to 'evolve.' The success of their relationship speaks volumes about the wisdom being shared in this book. Love and respect. The magic formula.

I like the honesty and direct nature of this book. I had a few 'aha' moments, one where Charles describes exactly what I was thinking regarding men and their mothers. Another as he describes a strong willed career woman who might as well be me looking in a mirror. I am learning from this book -- I plan on casually leaving it in the bathroom in hopes my husband will inadvertently pick it up and give it a good read.
