Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a lengthy book built on a very flawed premise: that women - all women - have more avenues to sex than ever before, and this has changed their behavior, which in turn affects men's ability to create relationships with them. The evidence in favor of this theory is either cherry picked, glossed over, or dreamed up entirely. The result is a book that insists it deals only in reality and offers solutions to men affected by this modern day phenomenon, unaware of its own glaring fears and outright cynicism. The soul of this book is the cynical belief that women's decisions are motivated entirely by what benefits them. In spite of all its fluff, that's the book's central contention. It starts from that position and works its way backwards, with examples of men scorned or rejected by women through various means (ghosting, online shaming, divorce, etc.), and gives advice and direction on what to do. Lost in all this anger and frustration is the fact that men who feel this way, or view the world or women through this lens, are entirely driven by fear - fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of loneliness. They often deal with this fear by focusing on outward, external factors like ranting about feminism, social media, modern society, etc. all of which feels good but does little to address personal, inner issues. There are myriad reasons why a book like this gets made. I don't disagree that society has failed men in a big way these past few decades, but men who feel lost with women are done little to no favors with a book like this. They're given bad models to view women by, faulty theories for how they got into their situation, and toxic and unhelpful solutions about what to do. More men would do better to realize that until they face their own fears and deal with their own issues, there is no advice on earth that will help them get better relationships with women. But that can be painful, and takes a willingness to focus on what they can fix, and it's much easier to blame society and women and go from there.
