Women: Complicated and impossible to understand? Do you love and want to please the woman in your life, but just can’t seem to figure her out? That was before For Men Only. Now at your fingertips is the tool that will unlock the secret to her mysterious ways. Through hundreds of interviews and the results of a scientific national survey of women, this book demonstrates that women are actually not random and that they really can be systematized and “mapped.” In fact, much to men’s delight, this book shows that women are actually quite easy to understand and please—as long as you know what it is they need. This simple map will guide you to loving your wife or girlfriend in the way she needs to be loved.
The bestselling author of For Women Onlyteams with her husband to offer men the key to unlocking the mysterious ways of women. Through Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn ’s national scientific survey and hundreds of interviews, For Men Only reveals what you can do today to improve your relationship. And believe it or not, as Jeff assures men, “It’s not splitting the atom.”
And for every guy who rarely reads a manual: Quick-Start Guide Included!
For Men Only, by Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn, is another in the line of books directed at helping men understand women better. It is actually a companion to For Women Only (which Shaunti wrote and presents at conferences), and arose out a response to that book. That being said, it is a fairly informed read. It is short and concise, choosing to focus on six main ideas: Reassurance, Emotions, Security, Listening, Sex, and Beauty.
While much of this was not new to me, I did appreciate the fact that there was research, both anecdotal and statistical to support what the authors were saying. The topics also stayed focused on the main ideas, several times suggesting other resources for anyone interested in a deeper examination of the ideas. Additionally, it is helpful to have reminders of the differences in make up between men and women, and to have suggestions on how to bridge the gap without putting the entire burden on my wife.
I enjoyed this book and recommend it to men in any stage of a relationship, from serious dating to married for a long time.
I received a copy of this book from WaterBrook Multnomah's Blogging for Books program in exchange for my honest review.
