If this sounds like a joke, it is. This book is a laugh-out-loud tour into the minds of three very self absorbed individuals. I kept calling my friends to read sections out loud. Beach reading, definetely.Is it helpful? Not really. Ultimately, the surprising thing is not that "professional men" don't think like women, as the authors seem to think. The real "ugly truth" is that the come across as so...unmanly. Kind of sad and wimpy in a selfish way. So go ahead, give your phone number to that hot construction worker that harasses you every day on your way to work. Since one of the authors' theses is that a man is either attracted to you when he meets you or he will never be, at least you know where you stand with this one.
