Richard Matzkin wrote this book from the male perspective, not like many books on relationships that take the woman’s point of view. Why? Men, straight or gay, process information differently than women, so the book’s ideas are delivered in way men understand, short, meaty chapters, without case histories, dialog, or written exercises. There is no fluff, just concrete, specific, and goal-oriented ideas since most men tend to be tuned to action. The book lays out the raw truth about love from the male point of view. This kind of love is distinctly masculine, not New Age nor the old model of male dominance. Matzkin’s approach invites the man to show his masculine core and ask his partner to show up with her full feminine power.
