With such a provocative title, you'd think this book might open the door into the secret world of Men, so all Women might from there on in understand. It's not the case. While it does offer some good reminders (men are visual, men and women are DIFFERENT, don't hint with men, etc.), some of the book feels dated and Berkowitz's tone is that of a smarmy glossy magazine writer (which he happens to be, as well as a correspondent for various daytime TV programs like Today).

The book can be read in one sitting, and since it's very light, you won't feel weighed down if you consume it all at once. Recommended, but more for fun and as a time-passer than as a real cornerstone of understanding the differences between the sexes or developing a really deep understanding of men.

This book drags on and on and on with stories that attempt to be humourous, but just come up long-winded and pointless...On Berkowicz's chapter on Why Men are Jerks...he explains that women want men to be jerks...On his chapter regarding sex, he explains in detail how men love and will do anything to get it. Now, true many women are attracted to jerks, and men infact enjoy and love sex, but what's the big secret you're letting us in on here? I found the book to be rather boring, and hard to read.

If you think every man thinks the same way, does the same thing, has the same desires, and is just lumped into one cateogry, then this book will show you that. Peresonally, I like women that are real, without all of the games that we men see through anyway.
Yeah, men are visual. So are women! Men like intimacy just as much as women do. The title says more than the book does.

If you want to know about men, go make some male friends!
If you want to know some theories to deal with men, this book can only be your first refernce. It can give you some ideas, but not the whole picture. Besides, the time is changing, so are people. Take my advice, when you have a question about men, ask one of male friends and make your own judgement.

i did not care for this book whatso ever ...waste of my time waste of my money..it didnt tell me nothing..mr.bob spilled no secrets not that he knew any to start with i am sure..i threw the book away..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I found this book very cute and somewhat liberating. It's a combination of 'He's just not that into you' and a man giving a more understanding explanation for each situation. The book is very interesting, I found myself somewhat surprised at some revelations and explanations for certain male behaviors that do make sense.
It is not a scientifically researched book for sure, but it is definitely a fun read written by a very funny honest man. I finished it in 2 days bc it was so enjoyable!

I recommend reading this book to understand what goes on in the minds of Men. I read 5 books in one week regarding dating and relationships they all started to sound the same after a while. Good Book!

I feel the book Men, Love & Sex helped me understand what men want a little better than this book did. Don't get me wrong, it is good basic information but it doesn't delve into the deeper aspects of what a man wants which is what I was looking for.

some/most of this was common sense if you think about it, so it wasn't too helpful for me.

I would suggest for women to read, "What men won't tell you but women need to know". My favorite part is how it describes how to read signs from a guy to have a better appreciation and communication in a relationship. I think knowing how a guy thinks will help to deepen my relationships and learn not to take things so personal.
