Why Should men Have All the Fun? D J Johnson

Publisher Marketing: It has been a running joke for years that men and women approaching dating, marriage and relationships in general much differently. Men tend to have a more casual point of view on the future of a relationship, even dating more than one person at a time, while women can picture themselves with an individual from the very first date. These conflicting attitudes can lead to a frustrating, difficult and even lonely time for women with this mindset. Johnson attempts to persuade women to the typically-male approach to dating and the idea of leaving the future right where it is. Some experts feel that past social norms and gender relations have caused women to be preprogrammed to want marriage. Johnson asks a very serious question about what happens when a woman, despite her best efforts, isn't able to find her storybook ending and Prince Charming? With women outnumbering men in the United States, a margin that is still widening, the reality that not all women will get married is a growing possibility. This author has a personal connection to the content of this book. After a failed relationship and seeing all the self-help books were designed to help find Mr. Right, she wanted to suggest to women that being single can be fun and offer a positive perspective on the single life. She gives practical advice topped with a positive and humorous tone. She wants her readers to realize that there is a life without marriage, and she encourages her readers to see the freedom and the adventures that the single life can create.
