The book starts out humorous and then settles into a practical guide for men who want to evolve into the type of man a woman of class would want in her life. I even learned more than a few things from that section of the book! There is also guidance for women who want to take back their 50% of control in the relationship, rather than continuing to allow the man to control the relationship according to his own whims.

Most important, the book validates women rather than telling them to change themselves to just accept the way men are socialized into bad relationship behavior. Mr. Orlando admonishes men to step up their game, to evolve, rather than demanding that women tolerate their less-than-enlightened behavior. There should be more books like this one in the relationship self-help section of bookstores.
