Ratings and reviews

After reading this book, I have realized that I was actually ignoring her by thinking like she was like me. However, I'm a man and she is a woman. We are different. This book helped to realize this. Thanks for all of you who has effort on.

I have read a lot of relationship books and after a while they start to sound the same. This book however, actually taught me several things no other book has. I highly recommend it!

Read the book from cover to cover. Most of the advice are for men already in a relationship. Just about one chapter for single man on how to get a woman. But overall, I am more conscious about women's point of view after reading it. EDIT. Read it twice. All the knowledge and advices from the book won't matter if you don't have a woman.
