Have you wondered what it was like inside a man’s mind? What makes them tick? How you can evolve your man without changing who his core is? Would you like to have a relationship that leans toward a healthy cycle instead of that crazy cycle? We all have our ups and downs, our agreements and disagreements and even our agree to disagree-ments. Whether you are already married (like me) or are looking for that special someone that will be your everything, whether you are a man or a woman, this book is some good reading that will keep you laughing all the while learning, not only about yourself, but about your mate.
“Women can reclaim their sanity and individuality, and men can improve their self-image and introduce stability and self-accountability to their relationships; marriages can be saved.” – Charles Orlando
“Written entirely from a man’s point-of-view and experience—based on 10 years of real-world research and hundreds of interviews—The Problem with Women… is Men offers a humorous, blunt, tell-all examination of men, their issues, their refusal to change and how women can ‘train’ them into men that are more sensitive, knowledgeable, loving and dare I say… evolved.”
Charles Orlando is an author, writer and relationship coach in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is an active member of American Mensa, and his writing has been published in a variety of publications, both online and offline. Charles’ past experience as a “morally challenged” young man—combined with over 1,600 interviews with men and women—has brought The Problem with Women… is Men: The Evolution of a Man’s Man to a Man of Higher Consciousness to life, taking readers on a humorous, blunt, tell-all romp through the world of men and their issues. Through his efforts, Charles hopes to assist women in regaining their sanity, and empower men in evolving beyond their primal instincts.Charles owns up to being a student from “the University of Life with a major in Womanizer, and a minor in Insensitivity To Others.”
He discusses several “Core Flaws” of a Man’s Man which is very insightful for us women. We don’t have to “lose” ourselves to have a happy, healthy relationship. He describes one “Core Flaw” of how “[men] don’t feel we’re doing our jobs unless we mark our territory by figuratively peeing on everything within a 1,000-foot radius.”
He even goes so far as to describe how bodily functions “trigger feelings of bonding for men” and acknowledges that these functions are not attractive to women.
The advice he gives on living your life is priceless and worth exercizing. He points out that “having children doesn’t preclude following your dreams and having goals.” This is a reminder I personally find invaluable.
Charles discusses how an “Evolved Man” is not “a weak-minded, fashion-obsessed, accessorized Shallowton with the charisma of a Twinkie, and a mentality that is slower than the last 10 cents of gas during a fill-up.” It takes a strong, confident man to Evolve and men should take this as challenging, not as threatening.
It shows women how to “train” their mates/significant others while keeping their own identity in the process. One of the final chapters gives insight/tips that could give your significant other a hint of what you would like from them. (I think in desperate measures, you could put the book, (if not, then at least the list) by the latrine for reading material and take all others away because that’s most likely where they would “find time” to read.) As I read through the list, I found every one would make me happier and feeling more appreciated and loved! I also love the humor he has put into his book. It makes for easy reading and gives the feeling of I-can’t-put-it-down-until-I’m-done with a margin for note taking to boot.
This book is an absolute must-have and Charles has offered our readers not one, not 2, but 3 chances to win an autographed copy!
You NEED to have this book, whether you are single, dating, married, woman or man, there is something for everyone in there and all of us could use some improvement in ourselves! I know I’m not perfect!
