In reviewing this book, I was completely absorbed. I found myself chapter by chapter stating to my partner, "can you believe this?" not because the ideas were far-fetched, but because we had discussed the same thing two days earlier.

One reviewer stated that would make me a "high-maintenance, overly emotional witch/princess" but my experience with the equivalent high-maintenance men suggests that they are interested in forming deeper emotional bonds in relationships, want intelligent, communicative partners and do not want to become machismo stereotypes drinking beer and belching in front of the television. Sometimes they are merely missing the tools this book provides.

I am certainly going to recommend it to my patients and give it as a gift to many of my male friends who are struggling with their relationships. I want women to know that they CAN feel entitled to their feelings as well as their desire to be treated respectfully and compassionately. I would rather be a "high-maintenance, overly emotional witch/princess" than a forlorn, disgruntled doormat.

AFTER THIRTY-TWO YEARS OF MARRIAGE MY HUSBAND THOUGHT HE KNEW EVERYTING HE NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT WOMEN. WRONG!!
AT HIS REQUEST I PURCHASED WHAT WOMEN WANT MEN TO KNOW ABOUT WOMEN. FROM THE DAY THE BOOK ARRIVED IN OUR HOUSE MY HUSBAND HAS NOT PUT IT DOWN. I FIND HIM LAUGHING, CRYING AND JUST PLAIN APPRECIATING ME MORE. I HAVE DONE NOTHING DIFFERENT. HE'S ALMOST APOLOGETIC FOR SOME OF THE THINGS HE'S DONE IN THE PAST THAT HE DIDN'T REALIZE WERE UPSETTING TO ME BUT I NEVER SAID ANYTHING BECAUSE I DO LOVE MY HUSBAND. HE ESPECIALLY LIKED THE CHAPTER ON "SPIRALING"; THE WAY WOMEN TELL STORIES. ALL OF A SUDDEN HE UNDERSTOOD WHY I HAVE TO START A STORY FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME TO GET TO THE PRESENT SITUATION.
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU MS. DEANGELIS WAS NOT ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS OR RADIO PERSONALITIES BUT NOW SHE HAS TWO NEW FANS IN MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF.
CAN'T WAIT UNTIL MY HUSBAND FINISHES THE BOOK SO IT WILL BE MY TIME TO READ IT. CAN'T IMAGINE OUR REALATIONSHIP GETTING ANY BETTER THAN IT IS RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT.
I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO NEWLYWEDS AND NEARLY DEADS FOR A SHOT IN THE ARM FOR THEIR RELATIONSHIPS.
GOES TO SHOW, YOU CAN TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS!!!!

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
