Find out how much more fun dating can be when you get the upper hand on Bad Boys . . .for good.From Publishers WeeklySantagati, a former model and admitted bad boy who has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and The View, has expanded on his relationship advice enterprise, AskSteveSantagati.com, to make this guidebook to dating and taming the wild male. Dissecting all aspects of the bad boy lifestyle, including lessons like “How Bad Boys Bring Out the Best in Women” and “Porn Explained,” Santagati takes women through every step of the bad boy’s process, from hunt to sex to relationship to “endgame.” Despite some tough love (“The Myth of the Nice Guy”) and blatant boorishness (“How to Clothe Your Chest”), Santagati doesn’t grate or insult, coming off as no more than an experienced, confident man who loves women. Indeed, he’s the guy “who you won’t even know is trying to pick you up until you’re leaving his apartment the next morning,” and he provides brief lessons in spotting and avoiding the players and misogynists among the populace. Often direct, but never above goofy humor or cheesy sentiment, Santagi may not “reveal everything that you need to know to successfully date and have relationships with men,” but his short, easy-to-digest chapters make a perfect way to browse away an afternoon, gain some perspective and try narrowing the age-old gap between the sexes.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
