Book Reviews of The Manual: A True Bad Boy Explains How Men Think, Date, and Mate--and What Women Can Do to Come Out on Top

Book Review: Steve Santagati's Manual: Holds a Mirror to our Pasts and Shines Light
Summary: 5 Stars

Should have read this sooner - ps. I read some of the one star reviewers and they are ANGRY!!! Lighten the %&/% up. Why so angry!? This book is about being fun and healthy and honest and quick on your feet - not bored sick lonely and miserable. To be the best version of yourself inside AND out. Isn't that what your grandma wants? What's the point of infinite population if no one is face-to-face social? This book is debunking bad scenarios we've all been through and promoting new fun creative ones. It's a revelation. Also one reviewer said the book lost it at 60% through. Some of the most helpful for me personally was the last few chapters on dealing with the pain of a major breakup (I was married for 6 years). And so much character-bashing in the reviews. Geez! Just go try something new! I just want to see that people admit to learning something from eachother and not whine whine whine. How many people will stand up in public and speak their mind despite ridicule? Balls. I learned so much - Thank You Steve for putting yourself out there and makin' your mama proud

Summary of The Manual: A True Bad Boy Explains How Men Think, Date, and Mate--and What Women Can Do to Come Out on Top

How many times have you and your friends asked one another these questions without ever coming up with any good answers? Your girlfriends just tell you what you want to hear. At the end of the day, the only person who can give you insight into man problems is?that?s right?a man! But guys have hidden agendas. What guy would give up all his dating advantages by spilling the goods?

Steve Santagati would. A self-confessed serial dater and Bad Boy, Steve is telling all for the benefit of womankind. Every guy is at least part Bad Boy, and in The Manual, this prime specimen reveals what every woman needs to know to counter Bad Boy tactics, both amateur and professional. Steve is never condescending or callous, but honest, perceptive, and street-smart. His guidance is straightforward and his insights are dead-on, giving women tools they can immediately put to work.

Discover what you may not want to know but need to know about:

?The Heart of the Bad Boy (i.e., the nature of the beast)
?The Male Mind: how he sees you and how you can make this worko your advantage
?Guys on the Hunt: the male modus operandi, from the grocery store to Home Depot
?When Boy Meets Girl: how to handle dating, from flirting to ?sext? messaging to learning his weaknesses
?Mating: so you?ve got him . . . should you keep him?

Why learn from a Bad Boy instead of, say, a psychologist? Because there?s no replacement for ?in the field? experience. You?ll benefit from (and laugh at) stories of real things Steve has done in relationships with women as well as of women turning the tables on him when he least expected it. The book also includes a question-and-answer section, in which Steve explores some of the toughest dating issues.

To understand Steve is to understand the Bad Boy, and that will take you a long way in understanding all men. Find out how much more fun dating can be when you get the upper hand on Bad Boys . . .
for good.
