"How to Marry the Man of Your Choice" -Margaret Kent

Not sure how to preface this one except I'm always looking for tips on how to better understand men.

Kent's How to Marry the Man of Your Choice, in fairly simple and straightforward language, tells how men view women and how women can respond and use this view to move men toward marriage.

The first half of the book offered some good tips and insights about behaving around men. She talks about what they look for, how they evaluate what they see, and how you can adjust yourself to still be "You" but wait for the appropriate time to reveal things. I especially liked her approach to discussing politics, religion, and sex with men: essentially nothing is off limits when talking with a potential mate. This is true! If you're going to marry a man, you have to be able to discuss anything.

Now, the second half was not so good. It was more of a guidebook for training your dog rather than finding a man. It was slightly distasteful when dealing with criticism; she adheres to using criticism, both towards him and yourself, to humble your husband instead of for improving the relationship. Not a bad book but keep it in perspective of your morals, ethics, and goals.
