Book Description

Publication Date: November 15, 2005

Think & Date Like A Man is not for the faint-of-heart, the easily embarrassed, or ladies wanting a feel-good session. It’s direct, refreshingly real, and at times, down and dirty, just like actual relationships with men!

Think & Date Like A Man is for women who are ready to hear the bold, honest, and often times brutal truth, about how and what men—and not just any men, but the most successful and wealthy men think about women. But that’s just the tip of the dating iceberg.

In this tell-all book, April Masini will take you on a step-by-step journey turning you into that exciting and elusive woman that successful and powerful men want. And if anyone would know, it’s April. She has dated (and married!) some of the most successful, wealthy, and famous A-List men. Now she wants to show you how you can, too!

Think & Date Like A Man is a combination of April’s professional and personal expertise and experiences, her philosophies and strategies, along with her trademark humor and lots of juicy dating tidbits about the world of high-level dating. You’ll find revealing insights into the minds of successful, rich, and powerful men, while uncovering the secret to attracting, captivating, and keeping them. After reading this book, you will know so much about thinking and dating like a man that you’ll become the dating guru to every single woman who knows you. And the best part is you’ll be so confident in yourself that you’ll never give a second thought to revealing these tips to the competition. You can’t ask for much more from a book than that—well you could, but that would be greedy!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A bold, in your face guide to becoming what a man wants - April opens up in true girlfriend form." -- Heather Froeschl, Quilldipper, January 30, 2006

"April Masini, author of "Think & Date Like A Man" is the new millennium's answer to Dear Abby." -- Steve Kasper, Executive Vice-President MillionaireMatch.com
EVP of MillionaireMatch.com

"Think & Date like a Man, April Masini's latest book is a winner!" -- Shirley Roe, Allbooks Reviews, Febuary 14, 2006.

From the Author

This book is a direct result of thousands of letters, questions and complaints I have received from women through my column, Ask April, and my website, AskApril.com -- specifically, the whining and complaining about wanting (but failing) to get married, and if not that, from women who were in love and were left. Interestingly, both sing the same tune: I'm really lonely and really afraid, suffering from low self-esteem, filled with self doubt, consumed with insecurity and lack of confidence. Help!

This book will take you on a journey from whiner to winner and help you to think less like Princess Diana, and more like Camilla Parker Bowles – the woman who didn’t look like a princess at first glance, but got the prince, hook line and sinker. Diana was sweet and good – but hopelessly and helplessly sad in love. Camilla, however, used her skills to capture the prince’s heart. She was not more beautiful than Diana – she was way less so. She was not younger than Diana. She was older. But despite the supposed disadvantages of youth and beauty, Camilla had what it took to get what she wanted, and that is why she is a good example of what I want to impart to you, that you do not have to be the most beautiful woman in the room to get the man you want – or to get all the men in the room, for that matter. What you do have to be is wise.

More About the Author

Critically Acclaimed Columnist & Best-selling Author

Nicknamed "The New Millennium's Dear Abby" by the media, April Masini writes what Dear Abby will never print, and what your shrink doesn't have the guts to tell you. That's why she is America's foremost online relationship advice expert (Ranked #1 by Google!), as well as the best-selling author of four books - it's also why she's gone one-on-one with Bill O'Reilly on FOXs' O'Reilly Factor, become a favorite expert of ABC Entertainment News, a regular on MSN, and a fixture of the Spanish media empire, Univision (just to name a few).

In 2005 that whirlwind and buzz, along with the audience swell to standing room only for her initial Learning Annex seminar "for men only", prompted April to write her now best-selling book, "Date Out Of Your League", followed by it's best-selling counter part for women, "Think & Date Like a Man", next came "Ideas For A Fun Date" and "Romantic Date Ideas". The books lead to over 3,750 national and international articles and opinion pieces, radio and television shows, including those on FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSN, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, New York Daily News, Newsday, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Forbes, Cosmo, Maxim, WebMD, Yahoo! and USA Today - and the critically acclaimed www.AskApril.com relationship advice site and forum - where readers find honest answers to the questions they have, but can't find answers to anywhere else.

Television & Film Writer & Producer
April is also the President and CEO of Masini Enterprises, Inc. - the multi-faceted media company tied to internationally recognized television and film productions such as: Baywatch, Blue Crush, The Miss Universe Pageant, Destination Stardom and Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous.

Philanthropist & Political Activist
Known throughout Hollywood for developing and implementing enormously successful entertainment / educational programs and revolutionary marketing concepts and campaign strategies, as well as for delivering over $66 million of international media exposure and advertising, from a $2.7 million dollar investment; April also has a strong track record of success in the political arena - drafting entertainment industry related legislation and subsequently lobbying to successfully secure it's passage.

Notable Accomplishments
Acknowledged by Governor Ben Cayetano of Hawaii, in 'Imi Loa Magazine', with "almost single-handedly reviving Hawaii's television and film industry", taking the State from $49 million of production in 1995, to a record $136 million in 2000. April's impact on the state's entertainment industry was so extraordinary, that it led its Governor to officially proclaim June 4th "Masini Day."

April has been honored with the creation of an annual ''Masini Volunteer of the Year Award" by The City Council, City and County of Honolulu; and is the recipient of "Maile Award," the highest honor available, by Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau, ''in recognition and appreciation of outstanding contributions'' on behalf the State of Hawaii.

5.0 out of 5 stars What Woman need to know!, June 14, 2006

By 

Jenny Paulino (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Think & Date Like A Man: (Be the woman who gets the man she wants...and keeps him!) (Paperback)

This book tells the truth about men, and it tells women what we NEED TO KNOW (to succeed with men), which is not necessarily what we want to hear. It's a well written, easy read that had me laughing out loud. It is also full of valuable information, including where and how to meet successful men. This is not a politically correct book, but it is a book that motivates you to take action and delivers results. ( It is working for me!) My only complaint is that I wish he had read it sooner!

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is ridiculous., June 22, 2008

By 

Carol S. Citty "technophile doofus" (Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Think & Date Like A Man: (Be the woman who gets the man she wants...and keeps him!) (Paperback)

I purchased this book awhile ago, but not from Amazon. I have no idea how this woman could be compared with "Dear Abby". I'm not saying she's a complete idiot, because I'm sure she can't have this much success without knowing how to market herself in some way, but she clearly doesn't know how men think, or atleast not consistently.

One conclusion I've come to, is that only men know how men think, and only women know how women think. Anything more, is merely a guess. You have your good guesses, and bad guesses. April Masini makes MANY bad guesses. It's also generic stuff, for the most part.

In general, I don't like "gurus". They lie, they are marketing experts, and they are incessantly devoted to patting themselves on the back. They also tend to recycle the "facts" of others, to fit their own scenarios.

April Masini, is a guru. I wasn't going to give a review, but I noticed an article by her on what women think about nice guys on Yahoo, and it was generic, like this book. It was also more than partly mistaken, just like this book. I bought it, because I was looking for real answers about how men think with regards to dating. I didn't get any of those answers. If you buy this book, I hope it can provide something for you, because it certainly hasn't for me.

I wish Amazon allowed you to give zero stars in a rating. This is worthy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading title & poorly written, January 23, 2007

By 

Cinnamon Girl (Studio City, California USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Think & Date Like A Man: (Be the woman who gets the man she wants...and keeps him!) (Paperback)

This is a poorly written book in urgent need of an editor. As well, I did not find anything in this book about how to think and date like a man. How MEN think (or feel) about some things and how they date, yes, but not how WOMEN are to think and date that makes their thinking and dating like that of men. Maybe it would help if the book had a different title that more accurately represented what the author actually does write about instead of a title that was, perhaps, used to get women to buy the book. Misleading title aside, I think this book might be suited for young girls or newly single women who are re-entering the dating scene. However, I even hesitate to recommend it for them because I think that, overall, what AM writes about is not conducive to a mutually loving, respectful, enlivening, and emotionally mature relationship between adults.

I agree with AM that confidence is key, but one must learn what confidence is and how to have it, as real confidence cannot be faked. There are many authors and books I'd recommend instead of this book. Peace.
