I have been a dating and relationship coach in Los Angeles, CA for the past 11 years and have worked with hundreds of men and women during that time. I have read many of the books about men, women and relationships on the market and I have to say that hands down "Why Men Are the Way They Are" is the most brilliant book I have encountered. No other book has given me such incredibly well-researched and insightful information on what men go through. I consider this book a must-read for all of my clients, male and female. My female clients have said that it was eye-opening and that it really helped them see things from a male perspective. My male clients have said that it was a relief to finally have their feelings and thoughts put into words. What's so incredible is that Dr. Farrell started out on the side of women during the Feminist Movement and then went on to explore male-female issues form the male perspective. He has also conducted hundreds of men and women's groups to gather this information. Of the thousands of relationship books I've read, this is the one I keep referring to over and over again in my session. I encourage everyone to read it with an open mind.

Excellent book! Very well presented!

With the possible exception of The Myth Of Male Power by Warren Farrell, I feel that Why Men Are The Way They Are by Warren Farrell is the very best book on relationships. Whether the male is a husband, boyfriend, father, friend, brother or son that the woman is wanting to understand more, this book will help the woman understand him better. I agree with what one reviewer said when he said that Warren Farrell was psychologically years ahead of his time when he wrote the book. I greatly admire Warren Farrell for writing this book and his other books. Warren indicates that it is ironic that a a woman who commits to marriage and who becomes more financially dependent is considered more mature by some members of society than a man who does not commit to marriage but is financially independent. Many women should work past the society's barriers to initiate conversations with a man, ask for the man for his phone number, and ask the man out first for a date. Women should be willing to share the risks of rejection by asking men out first as much as men ask women out first. Many men are often afraid to commit because commitment by itself doesn't require intimacy. In fact, if a man doesn't know how to be intimate, Warren asks why would a woman want to commit to him? True intimacy requires revealing fears and vulnerabilities. When a woman reveals to a woman friend what a man privately revealed to her about his fears and vulnerability, she has committed a form of infidelity. I strongly agree with the contents of what Warren said in this book. I believe that every man and every woman should read this book in order to prevent a lot of misunderstandings between men and women. Please read this book. Thank you. At the present time, there is no Kindle version of this book. I wish there was a Kindle version of this book. I'm very thankful to Warren Farrell for writing this book.

Every man should read this book.

I read this book long ago. I have re read parts of it over and to others. I have bought several copies. This last one I refuse to loan to anyone.

When I first read this book I said to myself; "There is at least one guy in this world that believes the same things I believe." This is about male--female relationships and while it does not change anything, it helps to understand the Double Standard that has forever existed between men and women.

This book was written over 20 years ago but is still valid in our American society. It is an eye opener. It is not anti feminist and is unbiased but tends to paint American women as shallow, petty and greedy. The author makes his points objectively.

A bit dated, but good insights

The title is a bit sensationalistic, this is really about both men and women, with an emphasis on men. But I think it's notable for doing a good job of showing that when society imposes gender-based rules and expectations, everyone loses.
