Communicating With Men
Men are simple. Communicate verbally with men by being direct and to the point. If you observe the way men comunicate with one another, you will notice they do not exchange a lot of dialogue back and forth. They do not explain all the details of, he said this, and she said that, rather, they bypass all of that exchange and get right to the point. The way men communicate is very simple, and sometimes women may perceive it as being an encrypted language that only men seem to understand. However, it is not--it is just getting to the piont, and bottom line of what they want to communicate. As this is the case, the sooner you learn how to communicate your opinions, thoughts, requests, and demands in a direct, and to the point manner, the sooner you will achieve a fulfilling emotional connection of understanding in all relationships with men, whether personal or professional.

About the Book
Stephanie Rockey is the founder of True Life Partners, a personal introduction and search company in the Washington, D.C. area. After interviewing several hundred men and women, she found that most working adults were achieving what they wanted in the world of work, but could not seem to establish a loving relationship. What was far more disconcerting, however, was the realization that most women are entirely confused about how men think and what men really want in a relationship. Understanding this is essential in establishing the beginning bonds of trust that can grow into a solid, long-term, committed relationship. Women—it is not just about you. You cannot simply dictate demands: “I want this and I want that. I have a list of attributes that I require in a man and if he doesn’t get a checkmark in every box, he just isn’t good enough for me.” Relationships are about not only love and companionship, but also communication and compromise. Whether or not you believe this, let me be the first to tell you that you are not perfect. Men are not perfect either and you can simply not hold them to the impossibly high standards that 90% of women seem to have!
There are many self-help relationship books out there, however, none seems to apply in today’s society; and, none really covers all stages of a relationship. After setting many clients on the right track to establishing a successful relationship, I can tell you that this book will give you guidance on not only what you are doing wrong, but also how to make positive changes that will lead to a successful life and relationship. You will discover further insights into how to achieve a happy, healthy, successful life, and long-term loving relationship.

After hundreds of client interviews, it was apparent to her that a gap existed between the fantasy world of what women believe they need and want in a man versus, what in fact, is the reality with men. This issue was consistent in virtually all client interviews. She used this information to straighten out, with straight talk, women’s confusing misperceptions about how to communicate with a man, and establish a loving and long-term relationship. Ms. Rockey graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Journalism and Public Communications from
