Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A book like this will always have sweeping generalities in it that don't hit home with everyone, so I can only hope most men who read in hope of gaining insight take it with a grain of salt, both treating it as a guidebook (not a source of bible truth) for all women and remembering that all of us are still individuals with our own preferences. (And, it's only fair that we women do the same for men!) There were several sections where I was very happy they addressed a few subjects openly and in a frank manner--after all, we're all adults here. I expected to be entertained, and I was, laughing out loud a couple times. ( ) some parts were really humorous but it lacked the really insightful parts that i looked forward to when i first picked up the book. there were a few good points but it didnt have a lot of helpful info and most of the things in the book were largely common sense not in depth stuff you look for in a handbook for a boyfriend no reviews | add a review
Most dating books are written for women--what a mistake that is. Women know how to date. . .it's men who need the help! At last: a blithe, bold, and bawdy guide to building a better boyfriend. At some point, every guy--player, geek, mama's boy, "regular Joe"--meets a woman who makes him want to be a boyfriend. A good boyfriend. Problem is, unless he's had some first-rate training (by a previous girlfriend, a sister, a mom), he probably doesn't even know what that means. Felicity Huffman and Patricia Wolff come to the rescue with a rollicking and whip-smart handbook to navigating the minefield of male-female relationships. Directed at men (though, of course, it's women who'll buy it, then leave it at their boyfriends' places--accidentally on purpose), A Practical Handbook for the Boyfriend lays out the manly steps involved in becoming a good boyfriend while still maintaining guy-dignity. It covers issue like: -Who decides when you become a boyfriend? (Answer: She does) -How to look like you're listening, even when you're not (If you're busted, just say "You're so pretty, I'm distracted") -Ten things never to say on the first date (#4: "I just did that to freak you out") -Finding the middle ground between too cool (think third grade) and too eager (think surprise visits) -Why becoming a good boyfriend is a lot like training for the A-Team. Filled with humor, ribaldry, common sense, and assorted outdoor skills, A Practical Handbook for the Boyfriend is the next dating guide to dominate the bestseller lists.
