Summary: Sorry women, it's not all our fault...
Review: Women tend to want to fix things in relationships. That's why the majority of books about relationships are geared toward women. We are supposed to be the nurturers, the givers, the "feelers." Men are supposed to "protect us" "defend us" and "support us" or at least provide for our survival.
All that is fine and dandy, except for one thing. Why is it that women in our country are doing all the work in the relationship? Why do we feel unfulfilled, unnurtured, unwanted? Well, the answer is because men do not know how to communicate their feelings for us. They are stuck in their "protective, defender role"
Today, women no longer need to be protected or supported monetarily. We are liberated, educated and smart enough (thank you men, you helped too!) to provide for ourselves and our survival. We can even support our children when their fathers leave. What we now want from men is emotional support. Is that too much to ask to our lovers? In my opinion NO!. Men don't know how to do this, they were never taught by their parents, and now they need to learn it.
Some of us have learned, we read all the books, we went to all the seminars, but we're tired of trying. It's time for men to work on their feelings, their emotions, their ability to provide emotional support. Relationships are not one sided guys, it takes two, and we can't do it with all the books and therapy in the world.
This book is yet another one telling women what to do to "get" your man, how to treat him, how to cater to his ego. Girls, women, go read the following books and send your man to therapy:
In the Company of Men
What Men Are Really Like
The Myth of Male Power
Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say.
If women are not satisfied in their relationships, neither are men. If women can't find the man of their dreams, then men are not finding the women of their dreams. It's all balanced, it's all equal. We (women) are willing to do the work to fix ourselves, but we can't do it all. Life is not fair, we all have problems. Men, don't expect women to fix it all. Get to work on yourselves too.
