ManReaders

Book excerpt: ManReaders: A Woman's Guide to Dysfunctional Men is a self-help book to teach women how to check out men before entering into a relationship that could lead to disaster. This book provides important information about the millions of men who suffer from various issues including sexual, emotional, and mental health problems making them bad risks as partners. Bonnie Kaye, M.Ed., a nationally recognized and established relationship counselor for nearly 30 years for women involved with or married to sexually dysfunctional men, clearly defines the potential problems that women need to be aware of before getting too emotionally involved with "broken men who can't be fixed." Kaye provides a checklist for women on how to check out a man before investing more time with him in order to avoid these pitfalls. Women coming out of destructive marriages/relationships are often vulnerable to men who are "predators" and repeat the same mistakes in their future choices unless they are aware of what to look for. This book also strongly focuses on how the lack of self-esteem or low self-esteem can influence women's future unhappiness and how learned behavior also plays a major role in making poor decisions in relationships. Kaye openly discusses her own personal relationship failures based on her lack of self-esteem. Also included is a checklist of traits that women with low-self esteem possess that attract dysfunctional men. This book is also extremely helpful for women currently in dysfunctional marriages and relationships in helping them understand what the problems are so they can move on rather than waste more time staying with men who will never meet their needs.
