| I bought FYMO and read it in the same day. I thought it was really interesting and I made it my goal to finish it as soon as possible. As for the issue of girls dropping hints instead of telling guys what they think, I believe that it's better for girls to just be upfront and honest. As a guy I'm probably oblivious to the hints a girl is dropping, and if you just told me what was wrong then there's a much better chance that I could solve the problem intead of accidently continuing to make the same mistakes. However, even if you tell me upfront, I know girls are afraid that guys will get upset, and we MAY get upset because we have really sensitive egos, but eventually if a guy really cares about a girl then he will come back and admit to you that you were right about the problem and do his best to fix it. |

Sorry this is so long guys, but This book REALLY made an impact, and I’m in one of those “share the good news” kind of moods, plus I know just how nice feedback can be =)
I started reading yesterday, “For Young Men Only””. The book really opened my eves to the female world. Instead of being your average clueless guy, I’m a guy who knows just how clueless he is! (Yay me!)…sad part is that I probably don’t have any real clue just how clueless I am yet…I had a painful realization about my new wonderful book however. Like a museum it set the female world on display for me, I got to gaze at “famine truths” with awe, and wonder. Needless to explain this all quickly went to my head, and just like that poor sap who leaves some king mummy exhibit at the local museum; consequently, thinking he is an expert on Egypt, I thought I had a masters degree on girl, just from simply reading the book That’s right, after a small 7-chapter book I had utterly convinced myself that I was ready for my first expedition into the female world. (notice the word “plan” isn’t anywhere in there)
Lets just say that the world of girls is a completely different place when there isn’t a piece of polished museum glass separating you from it. The book really helped me in a lot of areas, if anything it really, really let me know just how different girls are from guys. Sure I had an idea, but this is just INSANE!!! But what I am really trying to get at is that, guys, don’t ever stop “learning girl”. Because the moment you stop is when you start to screw up, what I am trying to say is you can’t ever approach a situation with the attitude of “okay, I read about this I’m prepared, I know what I am going to do 100%!” Try to take things as new ways to “learn girl”, when you get that text from your girl and you get that urge to grab that book and flip it open, just stop. Ask her, Learn her, see how the logic works yet? Problems you don’t feel like you can handle are huge invitations to do what girls love the most, ask questions.
=koudee steps down off the soapbox= he he, sorry guys, I have a small tendency to do things like that sometimes.
The book helped me the most definitely in the “talking to girls” part of it. I score really high in most of the “good guy” areas fun, adventuress, thoughtful, and at first I was tempted to skip the chapter because I don’t have a problem “talking to girls” because for me it was always as simple as walking over and just getting them to talk (as long as they smile back that is). However, a little into the chapter I started to realize that yea, I could “talk to girls” but…I wasn’t doing something, I have been talking to girls like they were guys! And I didn’t even, ever stop to thing about that twice! I think I’m one of those guys who have been throwing around confusing messages like CRAZY.

I found a copy of in it our house this last Monday and finished on this last Monday, great read. I am currently reading FYWO which was also in our house. The only reason they were in our house already was because, My dad teaches adults about marriage with FMO and FWO and had some copies. Is there a FYMO discussion guide thread?

| My friend won't read FYMO. I'm so frustrated because he NEEDS to! He's dyslexic and partly uses that to plead his cause. What can I tell him?? |

I would really love to read to get the perspective on it. I think I'll like it. I own FYWO and I loved it. But I would REALLY like to read FYMO!  |

| ya i read that book too. I really liked it. i'd read the book FYWO b4, so this was good! at first i thought i didn't want to read it, that was when i was still living at home and wished my brothers would do certain things even tho i should have just realized it was normal for them not to do them! :-P but ya i thought maybe it would just make me even more discontent. but later on after i had moved out on my own i read the book and i think even tho it's titled FYMO it still is good for girls to read it, for me it helped me understand more about myself. why i sometimes feel the way i do. |

| Totally, I've read FYWO and FYMO and they're both good. I'm actually encouraging my brother to read both too... (he's just a little slow at reading...) |

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

| My friend just let me borrow the book XD and I'm really enjoying it. but it's a little hard to put the stuff to practice since we are Ms (Missionaries) in Turkey so now people I can really talk to it about cause there's only one other family in the city XP |

| Truthfully, I don't know many guys that will tell a girl they are "hot" and not be attracted to them or just trying to make them feel better (unless they are gay).
I stumbled upon this site about an hour ago and I thought the music video was really cheezy. So, I checked out the forums for some lols, but wow now I'm actually purchasing the book. I had two main thoughts running through my head when I first started reading some of the posts on the topic FYWO. The first one was, "I bet all these people are made up fake accounts". The other one was focused on how we generally see girls. I hate hearing it, but it is so true. Closing your eyes doesn't help it makes it worse. It's also true that looks will pull me in or respect will and then the chase is on. |

yeah, my advice... Girls (well, any decent girl) doesnt like being reffered to as "Hott" it makes them feel like a piece of meat.
If a guy calls one of my friends "hot", she goes, "hot? What am I, a cupcake?" She HATES being called hot.
The only time I am okay with being called hot by a guy is if we're married. Only then does he have the right to call me that...
