For Men Only: A Straightforward Guide to the Inner Lives of Women

I read the first edition of the book published in 2006, not the revised edition published in 2013.

Reluctant thumbs down.

This isn't as bad as the For Women Only book, but it's still full of outdated and untrue gender stereotypes. On the plus side, the book does talk about spontaneous vs. reactive libidos (which it calls assertive and responsive, respectively.) Big props for that.

All said, there is some value here, but you'll have to ignore the whole women are like this, men are like that message and just remember that these are personality traits that can apply to both women and men.

There are better books out there. Don't waste your time with this one.
