Review

Why did I write this book? I found myself single again after several years of marriage. Like many others I simply stumbled into the world of dating and made lots of mistakes. I also met some wonderful people. The whole process fascinated me. I discovered that most people were as mystified by dating and relationships as I was. I talked about this incessantly with my friends and colleagues. What do women want? Why do we behave the way that we do? Why can't guys commit? You have heard all the questions.

I reviewed the literature in the bookstore. There are many excellent books about relationships - how to fix them, how to improve them. There are some good books about dating. However, most of them were written by women for women. The ones that did address both genders still seemed to emphasize the problems from a woman's point of view. I really couldn't find one that would help me improve my dating life as a man. I thought guys would appreciate a book that approached the subject purely from a male perspective.

I have always enjoyed the company of women and have nurtured platonic friendships with them when I could. Often I would receive desperate calls late at night asking for my advice "as a guy." I thought that it would be a lot simpler if the guy in question were in the loop. Then I could get more sleep. This book includes many of the insights I gleaned from these tearful conversations. Now I can just suggest that her boyfriend read the book before she calls.

I sincerely wish you the best in your search for happiness. Being single and dating can be a wonderful period in your life. It's all up to you and how you look at it. People don't date enough. Guys are afraid of rejection. They don't extend enough invitations. (Women say "no" too often, but that's another story.) It is my hope that this book will have some impact on the problem. Date more. Enjoy yourself. Make as many women smile as possible. I think that will make everyone happier, especially your mom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where Did I Find This Book ?, July 3 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: A Mans Field Guide to Dating (Paperback)
Somewhere I was recommended to buy this book but I cannot recall where. It is very well-written and very readable, but it is also very, very good. It is succinct and to the point, it uses words sparingly and is not glib, no, not at all ! It is a book about why relationships screw up...not for teenagers, or twenties, but for men of all ages.......they make bad choices for good reasons, but the wrong reasons - cart before horse - and they pursue the object of desire without really knowing the person....yes we have all done this......it seems so good...at the time......but that awkward feeling comes when you wonder if this is quite right and how did I miss that, why did I ?

Well, this book hopes we learn from our mistakes and read it before we rush to repeat them. I like it, it is not full of psychological babble and sentimentalism.......it is a book for men written by a man who found himself amid the ruins looking to start out again without the naive enthusiasm of youth to guide him into repeating the past, but probably with the painful thought of wondering how he had got into that position the first time around.

I feel i can learn from this book.......anyway, I am enjoying reading it and I am reading it slowly.........I sometimes wonder if sometimes my dates found me rather than vice-versa, and that somewhere they thought I was there to solve their problems and service their needs only. Maybe, this book will show me when to switch on the hazard lights

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful advice., July 13 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: A Mans Field Guide to Dating (Audio Cassette)
If, like myself, you are naturally introvert it may still be difficult to apply the tecniques discussed for winning the date in the first place but the advice is completely flawless. Personally I "won" the dates by using an online dating agency which is one of the topics briefly discussed in the publication. If I hadn't read this book before hand I doubt I would have the same confidence in the dating situation and the dates may not have transpired to be as succesfull.
Consequently this book has really worked for me, I am now dating women who I would previously of assumed would not look twice at me, though there is no magic formula to gain the confidence to attract women other than to question your assumptions and get yourself out there and do it by whatever means.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unapologetically Straighforward!!..., Dec 6 2002
This review is from: A Mans Field Guide to Dating (Paperback)
This book is different from many books on the subject. Like the book Doggiestyle that followed it, Robert Wray's A Man's Field Guide to Dating's observations and insights stand out because of their sincerity. The author's quest to both find answers to successful dating, and to then pass them on to the rest of us, comes across as very heartfelt. It is that organic nature of the writing that establishes such a lasting connection with the reader. No stupid rules, just straight talk. Very gutsy, indeed.
