Opis

'Things You Should Know About Women (Written By A Man)' is a light-hearted offering that has ended up as a rather difficult subject to categorise. How it is viewed will very much depend upon the gender and particular viewpoint of the reader, as it could possibly be seen as a book promoting marital or partnership harmony or, at the other end of the spectrum, a guide to treating the dangerously infectious inferiority complex of a fully committed male chauvinist. Without too much scrutiny, at first glance, a clue of sorts must be considered to be hidden within the title. This engaging and positively amusing missive can best be described as an optimistic but possibly sideways glance at relationships; an observational study of man at his best ... and worst, and a credible guide for practising divorce lawyers of either sex. To ease the understanding of such a complex subject, the author has presented all necessary information to the reader in the form of the acronym ... C.H.A.I.N.S. The letter 'C' represents the subject of Confrontation, the letter 'H' encompasses most things to do with Habitation, the letter 'A' covers some complex matters surrounding Association, the letter 'I' lends itself naturally to matters of Imperfection, the letter 'N' explores the murky world of Negotiation and finally the letter 'S' refers to all matters finally ending in Submission. The Confrontation section will include some disclosures relating to items of common interest such as DIY, Driving and Cooking etc. Habitation will attempt to provide some clarification relating to the often unclear boundaries and consequences of sharing a living space with a woman, the cleaning habits of women and the problems associated with keeping animals. The broad subject of Association will necessarily need to include hobbies, family activities and that highly sensitive subject ... work Imperfection covers a wide spectrum of activities and situations such as conversation, children and the interesting area of time management. The section on Negotiation will look at divorce and other associated subject matters such as finance and talking, or perhaps more correctly ... when not to talk. Finally, the section entitled Submission will cover in detail all matters relating to contradiction, the approaching later years in 'fifties plus' and the possibly semi-comatose state of retirement, along with alternatives to simply doing nothing. So, quite a lot to think about there then This sixty thousand word volume will not only encourage the knowledge hungry reader to finish it in one session, the activities of our sample couple, Harry and Kylie, will possibly generate a series of 'Oh yes ... I remember that one' along with 'That's so damn like him ' interspersed with the odd laugh out loud and a few smiling tears. From seventeen to seventy, male or female, gay or straight, this subject matter has relevance to us all. It could also save a few already rocky relationships and has the potential to make lawyers a few pence poorer.
