Bluffer's Guide to Men and Women

The Bluffer's Guide to Men & Women
By Antony Mason and Marina Muratore

Extracts from the book

Feelings
It is, of course, a cheap joke to suggest that the very idea of men's feelings is a contradiction in terms. Men do have feelings, and they are not just all over their body.

Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex
A man knows he is in love when he finds himself thinking not just about sex every six minutes, but about sex every six minutes with the same woman.

The male heart
Men are suckers for approval. A nod and a smile go a long way to winning the male heart. They want to feel that women have noticed them and that women need them. Best of all would be if women admire them. They'd also like to feel that women trusted them, but that's probably hoping for too much.

When no means yes
It is a fatal error to box a man into a corner. But give him the opportunity to say no, and he is more likely to say yes.

Marilyn Monroe
Men run faster because they have a narrower pelvis, which means that when running they need to rotate it less fast than women in proportion to the distance covered. It also means that no man can walk like Marilyn Monroe.

Reviews

The antidote to idle gossip and Susan Faludi. Women will find Mason's book irresistible and captivating. Men will find it infuriatingly accurate. Great fun throughout. Written with great wit and style, this is a book to read aloud to houseguests. It makes a perfect wedding gift, particularly if one of the partners is male.

The Bluffer's Guides take subjects in a light-hearted vein and give enough information and jargon for the reader to hold his own among experts.
