I loved this book.  It was so helpful and insightful.  I was pleased to read a lot of the things in the book.  I was also shocked at some of the things the guys had to say. I mentioned to myboyfriend that i was reading the book. He kind of got angry. He said "not all guys are the same", and I asked him all the questions that were asked in the survey, and he answered. should he feel sensitive about that? Why would he be?

My husband and I are the opposite of a lot of the things in the FWO/FMO.  My husband is the super sensitive one, the romantic one, etc.  I think your boyfriend is right and he's probably just concerned that you will assume the worst case scenerios about him.  Those surveys represented the majority, but not every single guy.

Just tell your boyfriend you appreciate his wonderful qualities and you won't assume that he falls into every category!

Yeah I agree! Just say that you're reading it to better understand him. but also that you're not judging him against the book. he probably needs to be reassured that You love him and that you're not assuming he's 100% like the guys in the book.

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
