    Preface

    This book is about right NOW, which is all you ever have.

    It is about everyday life, and how you’re living it: with grit, determination, friends, community and humor… or without. Time is running out, and you’re not getting any younger.

    Real men find the guts to face hard truths about themselves so they can change and grow, without leaning on drugs, alcohol, pornography, or anything else that only makes things worse. Real men face and resolve their issues, a.k.a. problems, head on.

    If you're looking for quick sex, throw this book in the trash, or recycle it. Do something good for the environment; maybe someone else will find it and use it.

    Or would you like to marry yourself? Yes, that is actually happening. It's a fallen world, but your task in life is to rise above this world, and create a better life for yourself and everyone around you. This book will help you do that. It is a collection of personal experiences, insights, observations and examples, when fake political correctness rules the airwaves, and our social interactions.

    Leverage the tips in the first three parts of this book to get clear and centered before even trying to connect with a woman. Then try the fourth part. Stick with this book; if you don’t read it all, you won’t get the big picture. Not all of the concepts here apply to my life, and not all of them will apply to yours. Don’t be so serious; laugh and have a good time with this. Take what you need – what will help in your situation – and leave the rest.

    PART ONE

    Nuts

    I was talking to a friend of mine about a girlfriend – she was all over the place – mentally that is.

    She’s nuts! he said. They’re all nuts!

    We laughed and did a high-five. Now, of course women aren’t nuts. He was talking about emotional intelligence, and when it comes to men, most women, about 92% according to my latest, non-scientific survey, do this:

    They Follow Their Hearts.

    Expecting a woman not to follow her heart, and make logical sense about whom she Loves, follows, or accepts into her life, is like expecting a fish to jump out of water and go for a hike.

    That’s it. That’s all you need to know. Now you can stop reading.

    Actually, you need to know more, and it’s not all about women anyway, it’s about you:

    Your insides, your motives, your drives, your fears and what comes out of your mouth.

    It’s about YOUR heart.

    Sound stupid?

    Don’t be a jerk.

    Jerks

    If women can be nuts, men can be jerks. All too often, we follow our eyes, our lust. Apparently, there are enough women who fall for this – or give us the benefit of the doubt – that more than 50% of marriages end in divorce.

    Why do you want a woman? What do you want from her, and what can you give her (besides sex)? If you think women are nuts, what
