This thread started somewhere else here, but I think its particularly interesting...

Check it out --> http://www.loveshack.org/forums/show...505#post518505

So far we have two votes that the book was in fact written by a woman and edited by a man (which I find funny considering that clearly indicates that SHE was Smart, Motivated, Ambitious and not afraid of hard work).

I'm voting that a man wrote the one called "Don't be Afraid of Communication: How to dump a girl without talking to her"; "The Final Frontier: How to love her and leave her in the same day"

And don't get me started on all those chapters on sex... I can't pick a favourite!

The original chapter by woman was like this " How to dump a guy- classical dumper statement" and that statement was ....yeah you all guessed it correct " I love you but not in love with you".

There are few other chapters also , they are mentioned in the referred thread.

Well, I think I meant it was drafted by a committee of men and women.... I concede that a guy was probably the editor-in-chief.


Here are the chapters I have seen:

(male contributions)

- improving dating efficiency: the timehonoured art of keeping several on the go at once.
- household management: getting the wh*re to do your chores.
- faking it: sound romantic and caring, get sex
- the art of good foreplay (still seeking an author)

(female contributions)

- gender equality: but only when it suits you
- the "where have all the good men gone?" ploy: how to be commitmentphobic but not appear it
- advanced blameshifting: being a bitch, but convincing yourself and your gfs that he's the bad guy
- the crying game: how tears, moods and anger can be the passport to complete control

To cross post...

Efficient Housekeeping: How to move from the 'glam bag' to moving in.

And I personally think that a man authored the foreplay chapter. Its called 'Foreplay the Minimalist Approach: Just Asking for Sex Counts'

No way - these chapters need to be a collaboration. Sorry but you blokes don't have the monopoly on these...

I don't know about that... I personally ended up with a knife block from my ex. It was my birthday present.
He on the other hand ended up with a new wardrobe, some guppies, wine glasses and lego...

I know who got the better deal - I'd happily trade those darn knives for the lego!

See, it's a chapter for a guy to write. Could you contact your ex along these lines, please?

Lego?!? Was this some kind of kinky game?

Guys don't have any clue about these chapters !!. These are entirely woman domain.

I don't trust myself to hand over the knives... he'd end up with a few in his back.

No, not kinky with the Lego... I wish it were. Its a valuable lesson to learn though - and there's a chapter in that too "Childhood Whims: If they haven't grown up by 28, send them back to their mother".

And I wouldn't mind the wine glasses back either - they were bloody good ones. And the guppies - I could feed them to my fighting fish.

The clothes he can keep.

And you didn't see this as a big red flag?!? 28 and plays with lego?

Mind you, I'm surprised he didn't see you keeping Piranhas as being a sign of something amiss
