I loved this book. It is very honest and i think everyone should read it. He actually is very honest and tells the truth about everything. This should be on every dating girls bookshelf. :)

The funniest thing about this book, is that the women that stand to learn the most from it are most likely the same women that wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. Yes, the overwhelming majority of it is good old-fashioned common sense, but as the saying goes, common sense ain't common.
I found Nasheed giving sound arguments and solid answers to questions that I've been pondering since I was fresh out of high school. I liked the way he broke the personalities down into categories that both men and women fall into, and both men and women that have spent the equivalent of a month's time in the dating arena will most likely nod their heads in affirmation of them. No, every single observation he makes doesn't apply to every single man or every single woman, nor do they have to in order to be accurate.
What I liked most about the book, however, is how Nasheed doesn't pull any punches and speaks his mind fully regarding regressive behavior that he's witnessed in the opposite sex, from attempting to get over solely on looks to crippling their children with "ghetto" names, and everything in between. Truth is, Nasheed really isn't saying anything that anyone outside of the group targeted wasn't already thinking anyway, but having access to the venue of publishing affords him a little more freedom than those of us within earshot of said group. Much respect for chapters Four (Are You a Hoochie? Take the Chickenhead Test) and Six (The Victim Hustle).
A wise woman once told me that her mother told her, "When a man cares enough about you to tell you the truth, the least you can do is listen to him." Ladies: if you've been contemplating giving this one a read, then don't be turned off by the negative reviews of the book here. If I were a betting man, I'd bet that most of the reactions to the book displayed here stem from women seeing themselves in Nasheed's words, and not in a flattering light. No collective group of people on the planet likes to be told the truth about themselves, and in the face of the truth, everyone wants to believe that they're the exception and not the rule.
If you prefer someone telling it like it is over what the numbers indicate and political correctness, then you probably won't gather much new material here (because you'll already know the deal), but this is still a quick and very entertaining read, and you'll probably find yourself agreeing with Nasheed repeatedly.
It's also an entertaining read for the guys. (Well, at least it was for this guy.)

This book was inspirational and very eye opening, an absolute must for any woman of any race!!! It covers everything in a text that is easy to read and easy to understand and/ or apply to life's everyday dealings with the opposite sex.
As it covers all the variety of topics and types of men, the message is for women to look deeper within themselves and take responsibility for the actions at hand. Nothing happens to you that you aren't allowing to happen, or in some cases happening again and again...change your views and habits and look for better men instead of falling for the same lame losers!
This author hits it where it hurts and goes right to the core of the issue, society promotes problems! Quit being alone and work as a couple and family. Deal with the issues at hand and understand there are differences between the sexes, agree to disagree on the small stuff, and if you don't have trust or faith in your man... QUIT INVESTING TIME.
You can't change a cheater no matter how much he begs for your forgiveness...don't die thru your crotch;AIDS or any STD isn't worth a man's infidelity or your trouble to worry about it. Kick a cheater to the curb...'cause the same fate awaits you!
READ THIS BOOK!!! Life's to short to keep staying with or dating neanderthal a**-pickers!

When it comes to a guide for dating and relationships this guide was another book I could do without! I don't agree with alot of what is written, and I don't care what or who you search for in life it's your idea of love that you search for and no one else can tell you what that is!!
Recommended: If your going out looking for dates or the Prince you wanted so long in your life then " How to get the Man of your dreams using the Internet" Is the book you want. It's the most informative book that I have ever read so far. Online dating is where everyone's meeting now and this book walks you through all everything step by step through setting up a profile, your picture and even explains how to use messenger programs. I found my love of my life using the Author techniques and I've bought all my single girlfriends copies as gifts. It will change your life forever!

I bought this book yesterday and I thought it was another one of those former pimp turned author books. And to an extent, it is. This book has its funny moments and has common sense. You do not go out there and give it up on the first date and expect a man to like you.
However, I did have some issues with the "chickenhead test" chapter and other parts of the book that mentions tattoos and body piercings. He says that if a woman has like 20 tattoos and multiple body piercings, this qualifies her as a chickenhead/hoe/etc. I have tattoos and piercings and I don't feel that this is so. I feel that if a person with tattoos carries themselves a certain way, then they shouldn't be labeled. I just think that the author personally doesn't like tattoos and body piercings since he mentions it in some parts of the book over and over again.
Other than that, he didn't say he was an expert, just that he knows firsthand about what men are looking for in a woman. I think this book is for younger girls and for anyone who doesn't quite have game.
