Summary: What Husbands Wish their wives knew about Men
Comment: This book was helpful to my marriage as we men and women see things from such different perspectives. Part 1 deals with many of the obstacles we face as men in today's society. Part 2 sheds light into the difficulty men have in relationships and how to overcome some of those barriers.
Overall this book was tremendously insightful and refreshing.

Summary: Strongly irritated!
Comment: I was happy at first that my wife had bought this book. At first, I thought it would be good for her to understand me. Then, I asked her if I could read it, and was strongly irritated at the generalizations and labeling that were used. The fault in this book lies in the way the author drew a box around his picture of men, and made it seem as though all men are that way. I was most strongly irritated at his chapter on temptation. In fact, according to him, I would either be a homosexual or a liar, since I have not ever looked at another woman with sexual thoughts. I have, indeed, struggled with same sex desires, but being a homosexual is living the lifestyle. This was definitely not the book for my wife and I, who were desperately trying to understand each other. I am a man who is definitely outside this author's idea of what men are like. I am deeply sensitive, creative, romantic, and do not fall into his categorization. I wish I could find an author who realizes that men are changing. We are not the same men that were here 50 years ago. We are becoming more open and more sensitive. Unfortunately, many men think that they have to be the way this book says we are, because the author makes them think that it's the norm. I give the author one star for good intentions.

Summary: Disgust!
Comment: I would prefer to give this book no stars. It is an outdated, sexist look at the generalizations of men that no longer apply in today's society. I am amazed that this book is a 1998 publication. It would make better since if it was published in 1950. I am 25 years old and wanted to find out why my husband is so different from me in certain aspects. This book was useless, all it did was offend me, disgust me and lead to arguments with my husband. It made me feel that I made a bad decision in being heterosexual because I liked nothing about men and their ways. My husband read through the book and talked to me about the inaccuracies and made me feel good about men and him again. I would not suggest this book to anyone under 50, especially if they are desperately seeking to understand their husband and are dealing with minor marital problems. This book will only make things worse. Among the many irritating statements made, my favorite offensive/sexist statement is: Men's arms are built to swing an ax, while women's are built to cradle babies. Give me a break! Someone needs to write a book on this subject that is relative to this day and age. Women and men do struggle with their differences and it would be so helpful to have an accurate manual to go to for suggestions. This is not such a manual.
