I am not a reader of advice books on men and or relationships so please know my review is not based on comparisons of any other self help books. For all I know this book could suck compared to other books out there. But after I saw and enjoyed the movie, I was intrigued to pick the book up. I personally believe the best advice books for women regarding men should be written by men. It's who we are trying to understand so who better to help us understand but another man. I can see where this book would get criticized by strong, independent women but Steve is in no way, shape or form trying to undermine us. He spells out the three things a man needs: Support, Loyalty and the Cookie (if you dont give up the cookie your man will wander. Plain and simple). He also spells out what's coded in a man's DNA, which is a man defines himself by who he is, what he does and how much he makes. It's these three accomplishments every man must achieve before he feels like he truly fulfilled his destiny as a man, and until hes achieved his goal in those three areas, the man youre dating, committed to, or married to will be too busy to focus on you. Also coded in his DNA is his need to protect and provide. If a man cant see how he can protect and provide for you he will move on. Yes women nowadays can provide for themselves (buy their own house, get a great education which leads to a great paying job, start her own corporation) and they can also protect themselves (carrying a gun, learning self defense, get a large menacing dog) but what Steve is trying to let women know if you do all that then you are clearly telling a man that I dont need you because I got it covered. You take away who he is and how he defines himself. If you and your girlfriends are struggling in your relationships and are frustrated because your needs are not being met I highly recommend picking up this book and sharing it. You will love the part about the ninety day rule, a rule all of us should apply myself included.
