Older Women, Younger Men: New Options for Love and Romance

Older Women, Younger Men
Felicia Brings and Susan Winter demolish the myths surrounding non-traditional love relationships in Older Women, Younger Men: New Options for Love and Romance. Brings and Winter say that older women/younger men relationships are "often met with extreme criticism, censure and scorn, and are rejected by the couple's friends and family members."
They've packed their book with stories of how couples can overcome the stigma and difficulties associated with non-traditional relationships. They interviewed dozens of couples willing to share their experiences in building lasting relationships. They also describe the common pitfalls that can destroy a loving alliance, and offer experienced advice on how to avoid those pitfalls.
Brings and Winter say that older women/younger men relationships are more prevalent than the average person realizes, but that many couples tend to keep their personal lives hidden from a disapproving public.

How We Love: Discover Your Love Style, Enhance Your Marriage

Why Marriages Suffer
"Can you recall a time as a child when you were upset and someone comforted you?"

Milan and Kay believe that the answer to that simple question is the secret force that shapes the way we relate to others for the rest of our lives. It's a powerful, controversial question, but the answer is even more remarkable. Did your response to comfort (or a lack of it) create a pattern to play out in relationships?

In this book, the Yerkoviches have distilled all the marriage problems they encounter in their practice into this one root problem--a lack of comfort--and then shown how to solve them all with a simple, practical solution. Virtually any challenge you're facing--lack of communication, resentment, old arguments, in-laws, blaming, anger, emotional pain, expectations--can be overcome through this systematic reframing of the reason for decreased intimacy. If it sounds too good to be true, you need to get the book and prove yourself wrong.

Women Who Love Too Much: When You Keep Wishing and Hoping He'll Change

THIS BOOK IS A GIFT FROM GOD!!
Women Who Love Too Much has totally changed my entire life. I have been in search of a committed relationship for years. I have ended up in abusive, degrading relationships and had no idea how or why; more importantly, how to get out of the pattern. This book literally had my name on every page. It gives real life examples of people the author has counselled. I was able to identify with every one of them. It was so easy to see what was not working for those women when I read their stories. It is always so hard to see yourself and your own mistakes. While reading the book, I was able to clearly define moments in my life when I made mistakes, and then learned what other options there were to those situations. I was able to dissect my entire life to see when and where I learned certain "ways of being" especially in intimate relationships. Ways that were addictive and I could not stop myself. I read several sections over and over until I got every last word...

Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help YouFind?and Keep?Love

A more scientific path to true love
This is an excellent book for those dating and looking for love and those already in a relationship that is not working and they wonder why not. The authors do a great job explaining attachment theory not only from a scientific perspective but also from a real world perspective with examples.

People basically have one of three attachment styles:

Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back.

Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness.

Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving.

The book is about the frustration people feel in relationships when these types cross. The more an anxious person wants to be close to an avoidant person the more the avoidant withdraws fearful of losing their independence. Most anxious people function fine in all other areas of life...

The Mandates: 25 Real Rules for Successful Gay Dating

Nothing New. Not that funny
For $10 I guess its fine, but I didn't learn anything from this book at all. If anything, I actually feel more alienated. I do not live in the gay neighborhood of my city nor do I hang out exclusively with gay people. However, coexisting with straight people isn't even a passing thought in this book. Basically, if you don't live as a cher-worshipping rainbow flag waving poster child of gaydom, the book paints you as a maladjusted closet case who should be avoided at all costs. I agree with the review that said this is a good guide to turning into a "flaky queen". Also, I cannot even count the number of times alcohol is referred to in this book (and I rarely drink) but any drug use is met with a "kick him to the curb, girlfriend" attitude (I don't do drugs either, but I'm just pointing it out). The book does not answer any central questions about what men want. There is research out there about how important a good body *really* is and how important masculine traits really are...

Why You're Not Married . . . Yet: The Straight Talk You Need to Get the Relationship You Deserve

If You Think You Don't Need to Read This Book, You Probably Do
I was dubious about buying this book initially because of the title. But it got excellent reviews, and I felt drawn to it. After reading three chapters, I must say this book is spot on! No matter how "together" you are, you will find yourself relating to at least one or two of the chapters in this book, and possibly all of them. We all have underdeveloped aspects of our psyche that we need to work on, and this book will make you aware of those. Better still, Tracy offers ways to stop repeating those behaviors. If you're interested in improving all your relationships, not just with your romantic relationship, read this book!

Here are examples of Tracy's brilliance (excerpts from the book) from the first three chapters I read:

It's Your Move: How to Play the Game and Win the Man You Want

Realistic Dating Advice
Most mainstream dating books start out by telling people what they want to hear. They flatter you and tell you that change is easy, and resist the urge to challenge your view of the world. Regardless of gender, people overwhelmingly prefer to be told what they want to hear rather than the truth. In "It's Your Move", Nick takes the opposite approach - he starts by establishing his credibility by explaining Love Systems and what Love Systems is about, but then goes stright on to tell women what we've learned: what their REAL attraction switches are.

Now, if you've been in the game as long as I have, you know that some women don't take kindly to being told that they really don't go for "nice guys" and that what they're looking for is strength, status, social intelligence and the other attraction switches that we teach. Often their gut reaction is to argue, or to insist that the way they pick guys is through some sort of magical "chemistry" that defies description. But Nick...

Calling in "The One": 7 Weeks to Attract the Love of Your Life

Worked for Me!
I personally think this book should be required reading for everyone before they start into relationships. I started this book after I found out my fiancé of several years was cheating on me with a married co-worker. I kicked him out promptly, a few months before we were to get married. And though thoroughly devastated, I had a need to figure out why I kept choosing the same types of loser guys. I was tired of being "broken".

I think the readers that are complaining about the author "settling" have totally missed the point of the book. I am not a "journaler" or a scrapbook person, so I didn't do the exercises. I did however, spend a lot of time thinking about her questions and mentally exploring examples she gave. There were a couple of things I did do - make a list of traits I was looking for in a mate was one of them. This book is valuable in that it makes you think about your choices.

I don't think you need to have long hair to attract a man, especially if you don't good w/ long hair (I look awful w/ long hair. never have looked good w/ it. My hair looks best when it's a medium length) and I don't think you need to run around w/ an index card sized calling card w/ your photo and personal stats on it (although it might be useful if you're attending a lot of dating events).

* Holding Hands, Holding Hearts: Recovering a Biblical View of Christian Dating

What does scripture say about dating? Nothing— and everything! This book provides a biblical view of relationships but does not shy away from discussing attraction, first dates, commitment, and more.

Holding Hands, Holding Hearts: Recovering a Biblical View of Christian Dating

Clear Biblical Thinking and Practical Application
The dating versus courtship arguments in my opinion, have largely fallen into two inadequate camps. Courtship (often) is defended as the preferable option because it was the norm in Biblical culture. Our modern context is usually written off while the cultural practice of the past becomes the normative Biblcal command for us now. I had trouble making that leap. And I found that many who "kissed dating good-bye" made it into a Biblical command, rather than what it is, a wise application of Biblical principles. The other side, who "gave dating a chance", often failed to wrestle significantly with the Biblical material and empahsized following Biblical principles within the flawed system of dating.

Thankfully, into this debate comes a third and welcome approach. Richard Phillips and Sharon Phillips are both aware of the modern context that singles live in, but also have attempted to create a thoroughly Biblical rationale for single males and females to follow as they...

I've been studying the Law of Attraction for some time now. When I came across this book, I was intrigued. The book provides some good pointers on how to change your energy to attract the relationship you deserve. She talks about how your thoughts shape the energy that you elude, the necessity of positive affirmations about yourself and overall how the energy you create in your life attracts either the wanted or unwanted. Everything that she says in the book is so true. I found that as I take and use some of her suggestions, I feel so much more confident about myself, and definitely get more male attention. The book is light-hearted and entertaining. The book hadn't really said anything enlightening--things that I haven't already learned in my studies of the Law of Attraction, but she wrote it in such a way that her message wouldn't be lost to those who aren't familiar with the concept. However, I do believe in sense that it was a bit too general dealing with the Law of...

-How do you find him? This is a difficult question for many people, but especially so for most gay men. The author, Dr. (Professor) Kenneth D.

Gay men are entitled, in fact, empowered to have a workable LOVING relationship with another gay man. As Marianne Williamson says in her new book, Enchanted Love, we must "Prepare to BE the beloved". As a gay doctor writing for gay men, Dr. George gives expert advice on doing the real work of discovering who we are, and what our strengths and weaknesses are before venturing on to discover "Mr. Right". In a step by step, easy to understand plan (with DO-ABLE exercises and activities), Dr. George leads the reader through the mostly NOT so painful process of discovering what he needs to know about himself before he can enter into a LOVING RELATIONSHIP with another gay...

10 Foolish Dating Mistakes That Men & Women Commit : And How to Avoid Them

My 11th mistake.
A bitter pill. No doubt this is all good advice--the authors are therapists and boy, does it show. Problem is, if you could do all the things they suggest you wouldn't need a book. Shy? Solution: Don't be. Not assertive or overly assertive? Solution: Don't be. And so it goes.

I can't imagine anyone who doesn't make some of the mistakes the authors describe--nor can I imagine anyone who could correct these just by reading this book. (I'm not even convinced years of therapy would necessarily work but I digress).

To be fair, the authors pretty much say that you're gonna have to have a lot of dates, its likely to be a long process. One thanks her family and friends for "helping me maintain my sanity through all those years of dating". Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

Gay Dating, your guide to finding love: The essential read for every gay man

Great Book!
This book covers so many topics, such as body language and basic psychology, unhelpful patterns and why we go for the wrong types, issues regarding masculinity and femininity in gay men, loving yourself, dress-sense, etiquette, how to meet guys in gay bars and clubs, how to avoid time-wasters and more. It provides a really good overall guide for gay men who are having dating problems or who have just started with the whole 'gay dating game'.

I would have liked to see the author go into more detail in some of these areas but then, I suppose the book would get too long and it would loose the easy and fun readability factor. I read the whole book in one night and I really enjoyed it. What stood out the most for me was the point that gay men don't have to be confined to looking for a partner in the same old places, ie bars, internet etc; in fact, as Jaye points out, there are no rules. It's up to us at the end of the day!

Overall good nuggets of truth
The authors did a fairly good job with tackling this sticky subject. Everyone has their own particular set of circumstances, but I think for the most part, the majority of women will be the "transitional woman" for a man going through his divorce, which is why I can understand the authors' choice to be quite negative about their thoughts on the man. For me personally, I stuck with my gut and knew that I had a special situation, and I was right. We made it through b/c we both had to acknowledge our temporary limitations and work within those boundaries (this tactic is outlined by the authors). As the book suggests to all women, I kept my own apartment, kept friendships intact, started new hobbies to keep myself occupied, and definitely kept a mental "side door" ajar in case I needed out. So, in general, I think this book is smart b/c it reminds women that they have choices, they must take responsibility for their own happiness, and it also outlines what to expect if a woman chooses to...

22 Things a Woman Must Know: If She Loves a Man With Asperger's Syndrome

Let's be honest here.
Yes, there are some very attractive, brilliant and intriguing men out there who also have Aspergers, and they can make the sweetest dates in the world. But the majority of women, NT or not, who marry an aspie man end up having one or more children with some form of autism *and* being the de facto sole caretakers and coordinators of the household. Most of these women will end up with major depression and one or more autoimmune diseases from never having their own light reflected back at them as time goes on living with someone who is almost completely unreciprocal but who is supposed to be your life partner.

Books such as this one and "Going over the edge" by Kathy Marshack are lifelines for such women because leaving their marriages tends to be logistically, emotionally and economically insurmountable.

Aron's first book, The Highly Sensitive Person, was groundbreaking. The author pioneered in presenting a well-researched theory on what was essentially an inherited temperament leading to an unusual level of sensitivity to one's environment. Being sensitive to this degree, one sees the subtleties others miss, feels the depths others fail to experience, and essentially lives a fuller life just by observation, let alone by experience. However, this attunement has the downside of over-stimulation of the senses, resulting in feelings of discomfort or panic and a need to retreat into a far less active environment. When I first read Aron's book, I found myself. Not all of me, since each individual has myriad aspects both biological and experiential in origin, but an understanding of some of my persistent and inescapable (inexplicable) behaviors. Now, I appreciate my sensitivity, realizing that I'm not paranoid because I put 2 + 2 together more quickly than anyone I know. In...

> Stumbling Naked in the Dark: Overcoming Mistakes Men Make with Women

Stumbling Naked in the Dark: Overcoming Mistakes Men Make With Women is the revolutionary new book on male-female relationships by author Bradley Fenton. The author asserts that a majority of men repeatedly make common mistakes while interacting with women and thus unknowing

Stumbling Naked in the Dark: Overcoming Mistakes Men Make with Women

Excellent Advice, Scientifically-based, Well-written
Sure, I admit I liked the title, because stumbling naked in the dark is how I've often felt when trying to date people, and even later, when trying to work through a failing romantic relationship, or failing close friendship. But as a trainer, I'm intrigued by the fact that the author--also a trainer--based this book on his company's results-oriented training programs.

As the producer of a hard and soft science and tech podcast by and for geeks, I read a lot of dating books and websites to uncover and de-mystify the best geek dating tips for my listeners. This book is the best male perspective I've read so far. It's a quick read, and offers practical advice that could be used at any stage in a relationship. I particularly like the "female scale of interest/staying off sides" formula for interacting with women (the car salesman analogy the author gives makes perfect sense), and I also found the "hug quota/tactile needs and energy" concept to be fascinating, along with the...

>> The Emotionally Unavailable Man: A Blueprint for Healing

The Emotionally Unavailable Man is two books in one — one side is for the emotionally unavailable man and the other is for his partner. It details why men become emotionally unavailable and specifies the actions that can be taken by both men and women to realize improveme

The Emotionally Unavailable Man: A Blueprint for Healing

A revelation ... a must read.
This book was a revelation ... finally I understand why my husband behaves the way he does and why I respond to him the way I do ... and why we kept engaging in such a futile dance on a daily basis. In a sense, it's taken us both "off the hook".

The bottom line is that this knowledge has empowered me. I have changed the way I respond to him. I no longer take his behaviour personally, but instead accept this as a universal problem with many, many men and not just with my man. He's now reading the book and (for the first time with any book he's read) said "it makes sense".

Often self-help books make men feel inadequate. This book instead reinforces that the behaviour of the emotionally unavailable man is entirely normal in the circumstances. It acknowledges their fear and hesitancy whilst gently encouraging them to take tentative steps in overcoming their lifelong conditioning. It is a doable "blueprint for healing".

I don't want to be the...

>> Bitch, Stop That!: Dating Advice For Women From A Flamboyant Man

“Why Don’t I Have a Boyfriend?” For women who ask themselves that question...it may have nothing to do with you The Dating Problem No One’s Talking About Ever talk to your friends about a guy you’re seeing and hear one of the following? “Well, he

Bitch, Stop That!: Dating Advice For Women From A Flamboyant Man

Hysterically funny, but should have been longer
As a 33-year-old, newly-single woman nervous about being back in the dating scene after five years, this book was a refreshing take. Blunt, no-holds-barred for sure, but definitely from somebody you know has your best interests in mind. It's the advice you'd get from one of your best girlfriends (if she weren't your biggest competition) or your mother (if she were honest enough to be your best girlfriend).

He's also hysterically funny--which makes the medicine go down easier and puts a smile on your face...before you head out the door on that next big date.

My only criticism is that it should have been longer. Maybe he could have gone into a little more detail about the different types of guys. We know they're all the same, but they're not /exactly/ the same. Everybody should have a dating coach like Prentice Prefontaine.

* Mars and Venus Starting Over: A Practical Guide for Finding Love Again After a Painful Breakup, Divorce, or the Loss of a Loved One

Is it possible to find love again after a breakup, death, or divorce?At the end of a relationship, it can sometimes feel like the end of the world. Devastation, loneliness, and bitterness are some emotions that exist due to a breakup, divorce, or the loss of a loved one. But

Mars and Venus Starting Over: A Practical Guide for Finding Love Again After a Painful Breakup, Divorce, or the Loss of a Loved One

The Breakup Bible
What's refreshing about this book is that it does more than just say "Don't call him!" or "Hang out with your girlfriends more." It focuses on your emotions and how you can heal them so you can move on eventually and find love again. It actually validates your feelings of anger, sadness, and loneliness and even calls them "healing emotions," necessary for healing your broken heart and moving on. Instead of telling you to completely forget about your former partner and not think about him/her all the time, he ENCOURAGES you to think about the good times and what you did as a couple. Gray goes into every emotion with great detail, and gives you plenty of exercises to bring them out so they can be healed. And as a woman, it's refreshing to read a breakup book that doesn't "male bash." It doesn't go on about why men can't commit, blah, blah, blah. Since it's for both men and women, it gives both sides of the story (and surprisingly--or not--we both go through pretty much the same thing!)...

How to Marry a Divorced Man

Great Advice - Just Wish I Didn't Need It.
God, I wish I didn't have to buy this book, but I did. I really liked my boyfriend, so I needed something to help me with the various confusing feelings I had about the relationship. I have been dating my divorced man for about three years now. In the beginning I consulted this book A LOT and it still gets pulled out every once and again when a new problem crops up and I feel vulnerable. Being a never married, childless 30-something, I found my divorced man's children (4!) and ex the hardest to deal with. This book helped me realize my feelings are okay and normal and also how to deal with them. A great reference guide for anyone dating a divorced person.
