Get the Guy: Learn Secrets of the Male Mind to Find the Man You Want and the Love You Deserve by Matthew Hussey
3.0
DON'T JUDGE. Okay, go ahead and judge. There's a hot-pink cover emblazoned with a cheesy graphic that practically begs you to. But like a few other entrants in the how-to-date genre (If the Buddha Dated, Why You're Not Married Yet, and even He's Just Not That Into You), this book contains a lot of good information/support on establishing boundaries, remaining true to oneself, and communicating needs clearly and consistently in relationships of all stripes, not just romantic ones.
I'd be very (VERY) leery of using any of the suggested lines/replies/come-ons in here verbatim. I'm not really 100% sold on some of the tactics and rationales. But the central idea of treating men—even ones you might want to have see you naked—like *people*, is a good and important one. And on top of having a life, a backbone, a whole collection of interests, and an insistence on to thine own self being true, that also means getting past one's comfort zone and actually talking to people. Men-people. (Or lady-people, if that's how you roll.)
Bonus points to Hussey for the best way of summing up the ridiculousness of not doing your best in an interview situation: why are you ascribing extra greatness to them and why are you looking at yourself as less-than? (I'm paraphrasing, and poorly, but it's very well rendered in the book. I think that credit even goes to a friend of his, who put the question to Hussey when he was going to network for some big TV gig.)
So, great on overall, feel-the-fear-and-say-it-anyway motivation; a little iffy on a specifically romantic-driven game plan.
