If you’re reading this, you’re probably a single woman who is offended by the mere title of Lori Gottlieb’s new book, “Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough.” And if ‘settling’ was what this book was about, I wouldn’t blame you one bit.The words “Marry Him”may irk you if you don’t wish to be married. The word “settling”has an inherently negative connotation. And all of us would agree that if you “settle”on the wrong man, you’re consigning yourself to a life of silent misery. Thank god that’s not what this book is about. In fact, it’s about how to find true love (including physical attraction, passion, and deep compatibility) by looking at what’s important in a long-term marriage, and letting go of the stuff that isn’t. And it’s about how to tell the difference, so you can marry the RIGHT guy for the RIGHT reasons.

Declaring that “Marry Him”is misogynist, misguided, stupid, wrong, or pathetic without reading it is the equivalent of thinking that Obamacare includes “death panels.”

You’d never know this if you were to Google Lori Gottlieb. In fact, from the press you may have read, you would have no idea what “Marry Him”is actually about. Posts are being written based exclusively on the title, with absolutely no care taken to look inside Gottlieb’s tome to see what she has to say. Thankfully, I’m here to set the record straight for you, and for anyone else on the Internet who wants to jump to conclusions about this eye-opening and important new book. I’m doing this because if you want to find love, this book could change your life. Declaring that “Marry Him”is misogynist, misguided, stupid, wrong, or pathetic without reading it is the equivalent of thinking that Obamacare includes “death panels.”In other words, reactionary critics have made a patently false claim that, once made, has to be vigorously defended against, even though it has no basis in truth. And it’s a shame, because Gottlieb’s book is an absolute gem.

Newsweek reports on a new book called, bluntly, “Why Women Have Sex”. The reasons, very much like women themselves, are varied and complex.

“One of the things we realized early on was that there’s this huge gap in the field of study in that we thought women’s sexual motivations were sort of intuitive and understood. But what shocked me was the sheer complexity of women’s psychology.”

Newsweek reports on a new book called, bluntly, “Why Women Have Sex”. The reasons, very much like women themselves, are varied and complex.

The piece also cites this really cool study, detailing 237 reasons that women sleep with men. And while it should go without saying, Newsweek makes the same disclaimer that I do when posting something potentially controversial

“The women who answered Meston and Buss’s online survey certainly don’t represent every woman, says Julia Heiman, the director of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction. Nor will an anonymous online poll tell us everything we need to know… “Up until the past 10 years, we weren’t even talking about the nuances of female sexuality, let alone the multifaceted reasons we have sex,” says Laura Berman, a professor of psychiatry at Northwestern University and the author of Real Sex for Real Women. ”So in that sense, this is a really big step.” A step, with many more to go.”

By the way, this is a great organic intro to my upcoming interview with Dr. Berman on Oprah Radio. We’re kicking off Singles Week in style on Monday afternoon at 5pmEST/2pmPST.

Just tune into XM156 or Sirius 195 to join us.

Have a great weekend!

In fact, in case I don’t get to it, I’m going to give you one of the questions here – and ask for your thoughts in the comments.

It’s the end of the night. You had a really good time with this guy and while the chemistry isn’t electric, you think he’s cute and you’d like to see him again. He goes in for the kiss and you kiss him, even though you’re not exactly sure how you feel. Good move? True or false?

I’m sure it will somehow devolve into a discussion about feminism, money and stereotypical gender roles, but hopefully, we can keep it light.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Evan
