Secrets About Men Every Woman Should Know, by Barbara DeAngelis
Bantam Doubleday Dell, 1990
-
The buzz:
Sisterly advice about romance and
potentially-embarrassing topics relating to sex.
-
The author:
At the time of publication, the author was a Ph.D.,
executive director of the Los Angeles Personal Growth Center, creator
of the "Making Love Work" seminar, and media personality.
-
Topics covered:
- Men's need for control and to appear competent, to be right, to fix things
- Women should not try to diminish or sacrifice themselves in their relationships with men.
- Men's turn-offs (most have to do with women who are insecure or who
play a role, rather than communicating openly).
- Communication styles among men and women. This is a very solid
chapter, similar to the material in "Men are from Mars, Women are
From Venus" (but published two years earlier).
-
Side note:
Tends to write in women's magazine style, with lots
of numbered lists.
-
Key Insight:
Men want to feel needed and in control, and they
want to be with women who respect themselves.
-
Read if:
You're a woman looking for practical general advice
about typical men's views toward relationships in general and sex in
particular.
