If you're like women the world over, no doubt you've wasted a lot of time trying to transform unchangeable men into great boyfriends. With The Fixer-Upper Man, relationship expert Cooper Lawrence provides a blueprint for changing the ones worth keeping-and putting those that aren't back on the market. More important, she'll teach you how to differentiate between a Fixer Upper and a Money Pit-so you'll grab onto the former and run screaming from the latter. Is he . . .Smart and talented, but underemployed? Cute under all that hair and buff under all those baggy clothes? Sweet but a tad . . . hmm . . . boring? With this book, you'll apply Lawrence's tips with such finesse that your Fixer Upper won't even know what's fixed him. He'll go from good to great in no time. Forget that old saw that a woman can't change her man. With this handywoman's special guide, you'll make your man over into a showplace all your own.

Insulting beyond words

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 2008

Where to start? Every page of this book is dripping with insulting language. I found myself getting angrier and angrier the further I went. Women complain about men "objectifying" them, and then Cooper turns around and does the exact same thing to men. That's about as hypocritical as it gets.

She reduces relationships to coldly technical terms, an amoral return-on-investment exercise that tosses out all those old, outmoded concepts such as "love" and "respect." The Cooper Lawrence woman is cold, calculating, demeaning, and manipulative. And she is conceited enough to believe that her "project" will thank her for it after all is said and done.

Don't bother yourself with this piece of trash.

thanks for the great ideas!

Finding the right guy is the easy part, teaching him the ropes is always the hardest part. Bought this book because I liked Cult of Perfection. Fun read and lots of great tips.

A Terrible, Terrible Piece of Work

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 16, 2008

Cooper Lawrence is a hack. If you don't like someone the way they are, perhaps you should look elsewhere instead of trying to change that person, hehhn?

Why is this woman still writing books?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 6, 2010

Parents beware. Do not let the cover fool you. This book contains graphic images depicting women as sex objects. It leaves nothing to the imagination. It's practically pornography. The reader can decide how he wants to abuse his female victim (if you know what i mean). For example, if a reader wants to do so and so, it suggests you turn to page 50. If the reader chooses not to abuse his victim, it suggests you turn to page 65. However, what adolescent boy is going to choose not to sexually abuse the character? Seriously, I thought had seen it all. This book should have some label on the front warning parents that this is ADULT MATERIAL. I'm glad I didn't read this pornographic garbage.

Yet another damaging approach to romance with pop psychology.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 31, 2012

Save your money and don't buy this whit less, mindless drivel. This book is damaging to women who read it and actually believe in it and its damaging to the men who get sidelined over a seixist females pitiful approach to dating. Because most of all if you care for someone it should be for who they are and not what you think you can turn them into physically or mentally. This book teaches women how to be pretentious, snobby, rude and never be happy with any man they are with and always thinking they can be better somehow.

This entire book was written by a brain dead author with no credentials or real insight that approaches this book with a new age pop psychology outlook that is far more damaging for people who actually put weight in her words and follow them. This book is truly just a collection or snarky comments, used up phrases from TV shows like oprah and the view, and it's basically just aimed at telling women they are perfect. The author of this book after reading it I can honestly say is to self improvement books for women as miss cleo is to real psychics. Why anyone would listen to this trash is beyond me. She even touts her psychology experience like a sword despite she has no degree or proven or identifiable knowledge on the topic besides just tossing out a antic dote and giving the impression she think she has psychological experience and knowledge from life. Laughable.

I've actually read the operations manual for a ultra sonic lithotripter and I honestly found it to be much more enjoyable and better written than this thoughtless garbage.

Hypocracy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 24, 2009

"Cooper Lawrence appeared on Fox News' The Live Desk with Martha MacCallum, and strongly criticized BioWare's critically acclaimed sci-fi role-playing game, Mass Effect for reducing women to nothing but sexual objects and giving players the chance to engage in graphic sexual acts." - which turned out to be her lies and a grab at fame via trying to look like an activist.

How is this book really any different than what she supposedly fought against? The basis of attractions on shallow reasoning. Hypocrisy, to be sure.

Sexist Trash

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 13, 2009

This book does nothing but enforce gender roles portraying women as meddling harpies with a secret agenda, and men as little more than a desirable oxen slave that women can manipulate into just the right man-servant. Do yourself, the fields of psychology and sociology, and the rest of the planet a favor and resist the urge to buy this book. Have you noticed that the front of the book, right in the center is a man's crotch? This objectifies men and manipulates desperate women into buying something that will not only fail to help them in their relationships, but will likely hurt them.

Imagine if your boyfriend saw this book laying around your apartment? So, you're either admitting that you're going to hide it, throw it away after reading it, or lie to him. Yep, you're off to a great start in your new stable relationship.

This is the most disgusting book I have ever read in my entire life

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 8, 2016

This is the most disgusting book I have ever read in my entire life. I was offended, appalled, and a laundry list of other stuff. This is pure pornographic filth. Don't ever bother reading it to find out for yourself. It is gross.
