Book Reviews of Women Men Love, Women Men Leave: What Makes Men Want to Commit?
Book Review: Easy To Read & Thought Provoking
Summary: 5 Stars
"Women Men Love, Women Men Leave" is a thoughtful exploration of the inherent differences between men and women. It not only identifies and explores the emotional gender divide, it also offers practical, user-friendly behavioral modifications that, when employed, can help couples re-establish solid footing in a previously "rocky" relationship. The authors display remarkable insight into why men and women perceive each other quite differently, and how this perceptual disparity is more often than not the underlining factor in a relationship malaise.
Written in plain, straightforward, English, "Women Men Love, Women Men Leave," avoids the pitfalls of many similar texts, by communicating its ideas authoritatively, while avoiding even the hint of condescension. There is also an enlightening set of quizzes located in the book's Appendix. These brief self-examinations help readers reflect upon their own attitudes and identify potential problem areas within their character makeup that may adversely affect their relationships with the significant men in their lives. All-in-all, this book is a must-read for anyone searching to strengthen their understanding of how to engage in a successful and mutually-rewarding male/female relationship.

Book Review: This Book Helped Me Become A Better Partner in My Relationship
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book very recently, and it really helped me with some relationship issues I was having.
The book is divided up into two sections (Leave, and Love), what women do wrong and what women do right. The things I was doing that were unproductive to my relationship were right there in black and white, to read and learn from. It helped also knowing that I'm not the only woman who has done these things, and it also helped that the authors explain psychologically why women do these unproductive things that can hinder the relationship, and also MOST IMPORTANTLY how you can think differently and process things to turn it around and eliminate the unwanted behavior.
It was also reassuring to read the section on what men love and to see the things that I have been doing right.
In part of the Love section, one thing I found very beneficial is where the authors speak about how women keep the passion and sex alive in the relationship. I appreciated hearing it come from the perspective of two men (the authors).
I highly recommend this book.
Book Review: Are you done having yet another failed relationship?
Summary: 5 Stars
I know I was. Six months ago, I finally decided it was time to understand why every relationship ended in drama and disaster. I felt so out of control because I invested so much and then ended up with nothing.
This book (along with Why He's Dating Her (Instead of You) - Why He Didn't Commit, Why He Left, and Why You're Still Hooked - 10 Ways to Be the Woman Every Man Wants) helped me turn things around.
This book helped me to get honest. I always thought it was the guys I was choosing who had the problem. To my surprise, I had deep feelings of resentment toward men and really made things hell for them and myself.
Not only did this book help me recognize what I was doing, the author gave very wise and very sound suggestions on how I could stop behaving the way I had been. It's taken some practice, but I am getting better.
Awareness is everything.
Book Review: Awesome, buy it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is money well spent and I would do it again. I bought the book and started reading it right from the get go it helps. I knew I was making some mistakes I wasnt picking up in my dating life and this book clued me right in. I starting dating someone two weeks after I had started reading this book. We are now a couple of months in and we havent even had a disagreement. This book teaches you how to communicate with the opposite sex about everything and anything in a way that is accepted. It teaches you to focus on "what you need and want" without losing yourself in the new relationship. This is the first time I am dating someone and still enjoying my separate social life with a great guy in my life too. This book is a jackpot of great information. My guy thought I connected with him so well he went to the library to get a copy to see what was so interesting about it. He learned great things from the book.....thank you, thank you.Book Review: GREAT book!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have bought a lot of books here but even if i have liked it i never wrote a review, but this one sure deserves it a lot! There're a bunch of books that talks about the subject of man and women differences, the things men do, what women should "do", what the heck someone did wrong, and are so popular but at the same time superfluous... this one won't tell you what "to do" or "act" like the so called "bitch" but it will sure explain lots of things you (and i) had never realized; it's complete, smart, professional, accurate, and for sure will be one of those books you will reread again, and change the way you see you relationship, because of the great approach! I highly recommended if you want to have a valuable book this absolutely is it(and why not "Smart Women/Foolish Choices" great book as well!). Hope it helps you to overcome some of your doubts and erase some of the myths...
