As a popular comedian radio host and red-blooded male Harvey doesn't have the bona fides typical to most women's relationship self-help but he still manages a thorough witty guide to the modern man. Harvey undertakes the tast because "Women are clueless about men" because "Men get away with a whole lot of stuff" and because he has "some valuable information to change all of that." Harvey makes a game effort taking a bold but familiar men-are-dogs approach: if you're "cutting back" on sex "he will have another woman lined up and waiting to give him what he needs and wants--the cookie." Several chapters later however he introduces the "ninety-day rule" asserting that actually he won't always have another woman lined up--and the only way to makes sure is a three-month vetting period. Harvey also tackles mama's boys "independent--and lonely--women" and the matter of children in the dating world ("If he's meeting the kids after you decide he's the one it's too late"). Feminists and the easily offended probably won't take to Harvey's blanket statements and blunt advice but Harvey's fans and those in need of tough (but ticklish) love advice should check it out (especially the hysterical last-chapter Q&A).
