I always love reading the books for guys.. for example I read Vvery Young Women's Battle (which i highly recommend!!) and then I read Every Young Man's Battle (which i then gave to my boyfriend), to read it was really really enlightening, almost overwhelming but very interesting still. I haven't read FYMO but I really want to!!

| I loved FYWO, but I admit I was curious what they were saying that we had to say to the guys, so I'm reading FYMO now..lol. Anyway, I'm on the third chap., and it's really good so far. It's written from a man's point of view, to guys, so that helps you to understand better the way they think. I'm looking forward to more discoveries |

| I am almost finished with the book. If I had it 2 weeks earlier it may have saved my relationship with a girl I felt I could marry. Since we had so much in common, I opened up fast and apparently came on too strong. She was giving off weak signals that something was wrong and by the time I realized it she was ready to just be friends. To girls- as good as you think your hints are, guys are not mind readers. If something is bothering you, just do the responsible, mature thing and discuss it with your man....that way it won't crush his heart whenever you dump him for reasons he didn't even know were bothering you. Thanks |

yeah, my advice... Girls (well, any decent girl) doesnt like being reffered to as "Hott" it makes them feel like a piece of meat. like all you see is her outside and you cant be bothered getting to know you and the worthwhile girls wont give you a second look...
I know If a guy called me hot, Id slap him in the face. honest. I'd be like "dont you have any respect for me, why are you trying to lower my dignity." and any guy who is just after the "Hot" girl, is just waisting his time, cuz looks fade and no one will look the same 20 years down the track.
but besides that, most girls are afraid to give big hints when something's wrong, cuz they are scared their guy wont like it and wont talk to them. It would help if guys could tell/show their girls that they, in fact, do care and wont be offended if you tell them something's up.
lots of girls just want to spend time with you, getting to know you, finding out if you actually do take notice of her favorite colour, her favorite food, will sit through a chick flick with her, even when you dont like them at all. If you show you care, she'll open up to you more. but dont take advantage of her, you diss one girl, you also diss her friends, her family, her BIG older brither who can smash you (or in my case younger brother who can smash you  ) so yeah...
Just thought I'd put my 2c in. |

You make good points. However, you say that it would help if guys could tell/show their girls that they in fact do care and won't be offended if you tell them something's up. You say before that the guy won't like it and won't talk to them.
This is exactly what it is about girls that is frustrating to guys haha. YOu say ur afraid a guy won't like you or talk to you if you bring up an issue, yet if you don't bring up an issue it upsets you to the point that you don't want to talk to the guy lol. With all due respect whoever has an issue with someone should bring it up with them....not expect them to figure it out based on hints. That's not fair. And also....why would you date a guy you weren't sure you could talk to about issues without worrying about him not talking to you for it? |

Hmmm yeah, you also make a good point. and I'll admit it, girls do throw confusing signals out and can be very contradictive about things sometimes... and yes, I don't think girls think everything through enough before deciding to date a guy. then only afterwards they feel like they can't talk to him and then problems start... But it is good to know that, as a guy, you would rather have her talk to you about it and not give hints. Do you think most guys would appreciate that? If so, then I suggest any girls who read this topic to talk to their bf's / guy friends when issues come up Yeah girls do drop heaps of hints, and we think they're obvious, but I'm finding out atm that they aren't really that obvious...
But one thing that confuses me is... like if your girlfriend thinks you spend too much time, say with everyone else but her (like family, guy friends, gal friends etc) and she wanted to say something to you, but felt like if she did, you'd over react. How would you respond 1, if she talked to you or 2, if she didnt and dropped hints and then finally after say, i guess 2 weeks tells you?
Just wondering...
But yeah. You make some really good points! |

I just got the book and I'm in the middle of reading it. I've already read For Men Only as I got that first. And I have friends (who are girls) that have For Young Women Only, so I have gotten a good representation of both sides. Through those two books I've come to realization that for the most part, I think more like a girl and less like a guy. I tend to think with the minority with guys. Surprising, I know, but I would have never realized it if I hadn't found these books. So I got For Young Men Only for two reasons:
- to confirm my suspicions that I think more like a girl
- to be able to lend the book to a friend if he needs help.
I look forward to perusing the forums some more. It's great to know there are a lot of girls here willing to help out. Hopefully more guys will get on and ask questions. |

| I think all guys would appreciate it and here's why. Guys are used to the "guy" way of thinking and doing things. That means just saying what's on their minds. I love a girl who's not afraid to say what she thinks and be bold about it....even though most girls aren't. From a guy's perspective its a very attractive quality. To the second part of your question-this is a no-brainer. Most guys are going to be excited their gf wants to spend more time with him. So I would love to know that you felt that way. If you waited two weeks to tell me the first thing I would do would be really confused as to why you didn't say something in the first place, and then I'd feel confused and awkward cuz I wasn't getting the hints and it would feel like you didn't trust me enough that you could confide something like that to me. Plz be bold and talk to him immediately...it makes you look more confident and attractive. |

That's really good to know. Sorry if I ask so many questions. A lot of the girls at youth in my study group all ask me these kinda questions and I dont really know how to answer from a guy's perspective, so it's good to hear what you guys think about them!
So would you say as a general rule, tell a guy when somethings up, cuz that way they know you trust them and it will be alot easier to resovle the situation??
Thanks!! |

haha I'm glad for any assistance I can give in resolving these kind of relationship issues. Yes...tell a guy when somethings up immediately. As a guy it makes me feel like the girl trusts me when she feels she can open up to me about an issue and it will be easier to resolve the situation than if you wait for two weeks cuz if you wait then say somethings up, my first reaction would be to wonder why you didn't trust me enough that you could confide in me earlier, and then I would just start doubting my competence as a male and it would go downhill from there  |

I love it when my friends tell me I look Hott. It's kind of a synonym for sexy, though, so if a guy really likes me and says something along the lines of "You're hott" he's in major trouble, unless he's teasing.
about the discussing issues thing- is that mostly for boyfriends, or all guy friends? (I haven't read FYMO yet) Bcuz when I was about 16 I had a really, really close guy friend that I felt was suddenly ignoring me, so when I asked him if he was we had this whole long conversation and I felt better about it, but it's sort of awkward now even two years later, bcuz he started not ignoring me, which was just more weird. I mean it was weird because he made an effort to talk to me, and it wasn't the same. Did I just say something wrong, or let it get weird, or something? |

I just got the book FYMO for Christmas and I have read it, and going to read it again. It was a great book that really explains a lot of things that I didnt understand before. I have always had respect for girls, i stood up for them and always cared but couldnt get a hang on their clues. After reading this book it really opened me up to just be myself instead of changing according to the enviroment i am in and not to jump to conclusions and to sit down and talk to whoever she might be and understand what is going on. I really want to read the FYWO to see what its all about.
