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!

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.

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.

Some good relating advice in the beginning chapters, but much of the book contained tips on improving your physical appearance. Personally, I don't need help in that area, and was a little disappointed in the book. If you want beauty and fashion advice, there are better books out there for that subject.

I loved this book! Not only was it soooo helpful in my dating life--it was a GREAT READ, TOO! I love this author's style. She's relaxed and funny, not afraid to talk about sex and the down and dirty, and tells the God-honest truth. If you're unlucky in love it's for one reason only: you're NOT following April Masini's advice!

Smart, funny, direct and one of the best "how to" books I've read in years. And probably the best I've ever read on "how to get the guy." Think & Date Like A Man arms women with the tools, knowledge and information we need to succeed, though, without a doubt, it will piss some women off. (Some of what April Masini says is not what some women want to hear. But on the other hand, if they're pissed off -- they probably need to hear it!).

As for me, I have seen a change in myself and in the men I am attracting and dating already. And all I can say is that while some of us might require more change and work than others, if, we, as women, really want something, we'll take action to get it. I did. And if I can do it, any one can!

Think & Date Like A Man is a book for women who are ready to get what they want. It gives real concrete specific advice and answers, that leave little room for doubt. There will be no guess work after reading this book. Specific advice is important because it gives us specific things to do that will achieve specific results. If you want results, get this book. If you want a warm and fuzzy feel good book, that tells you what you want to hear, this book is not for you.

There were good parts of this book, and there were dumb parts.

Good: Emphasis on the fact that men are visual creatures and it is important to look your best and be classy in the way you dress, talk and carry yourself. Women often want to down play down this aspect, but we need to focus on this. She also presents the issue that men like a chase. She provides a good "pep talk" for having confidence and getting your head right place for the dating world.(This last thing was what I personally found the most valuable.)

Bad: She goes into way too many details about some of these topics. Rather then go into specific details on, say, etiquitte, just tell me to brush up on it. The same thing with grooming, just tell me to look up the pro and cons of the different types of hair removal. She seems to jump a level of dating. It tells me not to chase a man and where to find men. Then it jumps to sex. Wait, what is a girl to do in regards to flirting? Also, how does a girl "close the deal." A man can date and have sex with a girl for years.

This book provides some useful tidbits, but I prefer the book "The Rules." (Though it isn't perfect either.)

Why do women need to think like a man in order to lead them into commitment or marriage? The things said about men seem very judgmental to me and I have the opinion that most men are not as simple minded as described in the book. To respond to the example of the Japanese business man, the author mentioned. You do not need to think like the other partner to build a bridge for successful communication. You need to respect the other partner for who he is and be compassionate. It does not necessarily mean that you agree, but you allow the other person to be who he is, while you think and act the way you are. I encourage women to be authentic and men either like you for that or not. It might be a fun book for some readers, but not to be taken seriously.

As a recent resident of Splitsville, I picked up this book on a whim, hoping to motivate myself to get back on the pony, so to speak. The book was interesting and funny, and helped me re-evaluate my approach to dating. After reading this book, I am not taking the dating scene so seriously. I'm relaxed and having fun, and I've realized that I don't have to latch onto the first guy that I meet...but that I can date around and just explore my options. I'm really excited about some of my prospects and really feel that this book played a big part in getting me back into the swing of things.

My best friend and I bought this book on the same day. We were both in bad relationships at the time and this book has changed us both for the long-term and the better. It is self-empowering: It teaches you to love yourself and put yourself FIRST, because that is what men do and it is what matters if you want a man to respect you. I've learned, IF you don't respect yourself how can you expect a man to respect you? When you stop being some guys doormat, you start being the smart, funny, self-empowered, woman men are attracted to. While reading April Masini's book I finally realized that it wasn't men's fault I kept getting hurt, it was MINE.

If your going through a breakup GET THIS BOOK NOW!!!! As soon as you start reading it your whole outlook on life and men will change DRAMATICALLY. I promise!!! LOVE IT!!!
