For Men Only (Revised and Updated Edition): A Straightforward Guide to the Inner Lives of Women

it's helpful if you like a really "man next door" author voice. definitely take some of his generalizations with a grain of salt, as all women will be different.I gave this to my fiance after reading it and writing notes in it to let him know what did and didn't apply to me, and he really appreciated it.If you think your husband/SO will benefit from hearing traditional advice for men like "listen before talking," "she won't enjoy sex without romance," "she has a lot of complicated thoughts in her brain," and "women really struggle with body image, so give her lots of compliments," then this is the book for him!Fairly Biblical, but if you're a Christian, I might recommend more theology-based approaches like "Intimate Allies".

Bro: do yourself a favor & get this book. Now. I’ve read a dozen books on this subject, all the popular titles; Five Love Languages, Men Are from Mars, the Gottman books... all of which were good & helpful, but, “For Men Only” is a game-changer. The intel & practical advice contained in this book _cannot_ be over-emphasized.One piece of advice that I’m glad I followed & I’ll pass on to you: read the “For Women Only” book first. Otherwise, you’ll never believe what you read in FMO. FWO elegantly articulates the things men instinctively know, but for whatever reason find difficult to verbalize. Women find this equally true of FMO.Whether you’re in a relationship or not, this is valuable intel on the fairer sex.My only regret is that I didn’t run across this book earlier in life. It would have saved me a ton of frustration & heartache.

I read the "For Women Only" and decided to read this just out of curiosity. Men, I can tell you as a woman that I identified with so many things in this book and felt like "yes! That is me!" If you feel like you don't understand why your mother, sister, girlfriend, wife, etc is the way she is, I highly recommend this book! It touches on women's insecurities, what "security" means (hint: it's not just about the money), how women think and are wired differently than men, what we mean when we say "I don't want you to fix it; I just want you to listen!", women's sex drive and what that means (and does not mean) about you, and ultimately what you can do to show the woman in your life that you love and cherish her in the way that will make her understand that.Seriously guys, read it. Some things may not make sense because men and women ARE different, but this book will help you understand that your lady is not crazy. There is a rhyme and reason for how she is!

This book should be required reading in high school for all young men. I am currently seperated and going through my divorce. I could never fully understand the pain I inflicted on my wife. I never knew how bad I could make my wife feel with just my words. This book is and I hope still can be a game changer to maybe halt my divorce. I can now without any doubt empathize with my wife. The lesson that needs to learned is that women were designed to be loved no matter what. God gave them emotions so that they could be protected from not being loved by there husband's. I am not even a religious person however you have to believe in something and this book lays it down for you. Praying my marriage can be saved hopefully it's not to late.

You know how you go to lectures or seminars or presentations, and it soon all becomes a blur and you don't remember anything? But sometimes you attend a lecture or session and you walk away with a nugget of advice or information or two that are really useful and help you in your work or life. That's how I felt about this book. I read it, enjoying the conversational down-to-earth style, and walked away with two or three revelations that really did and do help me understand women, and my wife in particular, better. That is invaluable.One thing I wasn't crazy about is the reference to religion. It's not as heavy-handed as in the companion book about the inner life of men, but I very much believe in separation of church and state when it comes to writing self-help books.

As a woman, I thought this book was very validating. YAY! I may be crazy but all of us women are-HAHAHA. Just kidding :) I love us women. We are awesome :) There are some commonalities that we share and it was very validating to understand that I am not the only one who feels this way. I recommend the corresponding book too, "For Women Only". Nicely written and easy to understand. It would be helpful if you are in a relationship to have a conversation with your partner about each book for additional insight.

Love both this book and for women only, my husband and I both read this one, I recommend you read it first and highlight the areas you want your husband to really focus on and then have him read it. My husband doesn’t even like to read but he said he found this book sompletely eye opening and that he felt he could totally understand me in more ways than before. I recommend for any marriage!!! Especially a marriage that has some constant misunderstandings or lack of communication.

This is a must read book. Ladies, read it and you will learn things about yourself you never realized. You will say, " spot on". Men, this is a must read to understand the female brain. I think every couple needs to read this.

I brought this book as a half-joke for a man who was always wondering why the different genders took completely different approaches to things and why women are 'confusing'. It's light hearted, easily accessible and carries some thought provoking ideas, even just dipping in and out the pages was interesting. It contains a nice mixture of bullet points, tables, quotes and explanations, as well as a quick start guide at the back.The book itself is written by a man, who has had several deep and meaningful conversations with his wife and has gone down the route of unlocking and then explaining how women think. Even women who read the book were surprised when seeing it from a different perspective as the author manages to sum everything up well. For example, he explains the thought processes of men and women by describing them as computers and goes on to describe the different aspects of that, such as men having a screensaver up sometimes, and women having an endless amount of windows, some of which pop up randomly.A fantastic read, and succeeds where many books fail. It's clear, accessible, sensible and once you've read it, everything fits together and what used to be down-right confusing, becomes common sense, Huzzah!

In brief my reasons for getting this are that my fiencee left and had an affair and I'm left wondering what my role was in that.This is a great book I love the feel of it size and paper and the layout is very easy to read like bite size pionts. The font size is great and there are the occasional survey showing womens answers.On just having a quick look its touching on issies I definatly need to have explained. Ill actually be able to show my woman (when I'm ready for the relationship) that I really love her and make her feel secure and loved. Great.Also in the back there's a 'qiick start' guide as if she were a DVD player. Brillant!I'm currently working on every aspect of my being confidence, communication, attraction and sex. Of all the books so far this format is by FAR the best and not too heavy. Its easy to grasp and should be easy to implement.Made up I got this it will definatly make a massive difference. I'm excited about getting whome I want making her happy and keeping her. With this book those aims are highly possible.

I bought this for my fiancé, who is generally not into reading about relationships or personality, or being 'put into a box'. A great feature of the book is a quick access list in the front cover, that immediately caught his attention, and he has since started reading the book, and quoted it with when we have tried to unpick reasons behinds disagreements or misunderstandings. He even recommended that I bought the 'for women only' book for myself and that we go through them together. I am very relieved to have come across these books before we get married later this year as I think they can only serve to strengthen our relationship.

This book is a must for any men wanting to better understand their spouse :)

This book is great in the sense that it presents a few crucial issue in marriage relationship so well thatyou just have to get it. The issue of affirming emotions with my spouse is very important and this book helped me understand it and I am reaping the great rewards already.have already recommended this book to many.
