Employing equal measures of wit and wisdom, Emmy Award-winning composer/writer/producer (The Young and the Restless, The Nanny, Half & Half) David M. Matthews leads you on an amusing yet highly informative journey through the seamy underbelly of the male mind. Shameless in its honesty and lacking any pretext of political correctness, Every Man Sees You Naked explodes the myths about men and answers the questions you've been dying to ask...but didn't quite know how.
Among other things, this book will reveal:
Finally the truth is just a few page turns away. So, why are you still wasting time reading this description?
I laughed all through this book. The candid humor of the author truly did the book justice. I could not put it down and found myself agreeing with him most of the time I nodded my head through most of the chapter "Understanding Man-speak" I have used the word "fine" to convey my annoyance many times as pointed out in the book. What men like in bed was a refreshingly blunt look at what pushes men’s buttons and what they really like. The Man-Q quiz in funny and honest and some of the question answers are surprising. This reviewer scored a 7 out of 10, I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. Overall I found Every Man Sees You Naked very positive, very honest and very necessary. The complex and often blurred line between the sexes that has resulted in massive numbers of self help books for women on how to get a man to be who they want him to be has led to many a frustrated man and devastated woman. David M. Matthews brings to light another side of the coin that is both informative and light. My two favorite chapters are at the end: What Men Hate/What Men Like and Men: A Review, both amusing and unadulterated. As mentioned several times in the book Every Man Sees You Naked deals in generalities, clearly not every man is a carbon copy of the other but for the general populous this book can be applied. I would definitely recommend this book to any woman that is frustrated with her man, or men in general, not to be used an a manipulation but to be used as a guide to the inner psyche of the modern, and timeless mystery that is men.
You may be thinking ‘Who needs a guide to the way men think?’ and I’ll admit I thought it too. But then I thought about all the times my husband has baffled me because he didn’t understand something or about the silly arguments we get into because of a simple misunderstanding. So, I decided to give David Matthews’ book a try and I’m glad I did.
In his book, Matthews goes over common myths women have about men, what men want from women, both in bed and in a relationship, dating scenarios, and much more. He answers some questions from real women and some of those answers may just astonish you. Some of Matthews’ claims were predictable (Men like sex.) but some just blew me away. Matthews will tell you things most men would deny because they think you wouldn’t approve.
Matthews is straightforward, entertaining, and brutally honest. He understands the way men and women think and is able to illustrate the differences between the two with examples. He is somehow able to translate between the men thought process and the women thought process. I’m definitely looking forward to reading his next book.
While reading Every Man Sees You Naked: An Insider’s Guide to How Men Think, there were times that I was surprised, and even appalled at times, by the claims Matthews makes. So, I asked my husband to verify the information I was skeptical of. Of course I had to convince him I wanted his honest answer and promise that I wouldn’t get mad at him for anything he said in response. Everything he said reaffirmed what Matthews had claimed. It also opened up some very interesting conversations.
Every woman should read Every Man Sees You Naked: An Insider’s Guide to How Men Think. You will walk away feeling like you have a better understanding of the men in your life, or at least how they think. It will more than likely help you with your relationships.
Before I read this book, I knew that men and women think differently, but I didn’t really understand how men think and how their thinking differs from ours. While there may have been a few things I would have been more comfortable not knowing, the vast majority of the information is extremely useful and priceless for any woman in a relationship with a man or wanting to be in one.

Yes Virginia, Men Are Pigs....sometimes,
Does he paint men as shallow, sex-driven critters? Yes. Does this reflect poorly on them? Sure. While many women and probably some men will be insulted and consider this to be a step back for us all, taking exception to everything written; even more of us will laugh and recognize our loved ones and ourselves within. And what's wrong with laughing at human nature now and then? I loved this book, and wish I had come across it years ago, back when I was young, naive and innocent (ok, maybe I was never that naive or innocent)but it can help you take the blinders off and look at the game of relationships and the dating game in a more realistic manner. I heartily recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor about life. |
My first reaction: "Men are jerks! If this is really what they are like, then why waste any time with them?!"
My second reaction: "So that's what my husband has been trying to tell me, only in a subtler (or not so subtle) way."
And thus went my feelings throughout the book: disgusted, then enlightened, then disgusted again.
The book was highly entertaining, well written, easy to read, and humorous.
That being said, it was a bit graphic for my taste. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but a closest friend, let alone actually talk to people about it. Call me pretentious, but I would find it embarrassing.
And I wouldn't want to meet the author in person. I would constantly be thinking about what he was thinking about and be completely embarrassed. At least I can live in denial with most guys!
On the other hand, this book just might help out a few male/female relationships, or at least open up communication between the man and the woman. Maybe even mine. (Not that men would care about improved communication unless sex is involved.) And if it did that, then this book has deserves a good review.
One of the great struggles in life for women is understanding how men think, and the reasons behind their behavior. In David M. Matthews' Every Man Sees You Naked: An Insider's Guide to How Men Think, this mystery is cleared up for us. Men like sex. This discovery may validate some of the man-haters, but this inside information may come as a shock to some women. Though written by a man, the book is most definitely geared towards women. Not only does the author understand the male mind, he appears to understand the female mind as well. This is shown by the presented scenarios, and the explanations he gives to some of his points as he seems to realize how sensitive and easily offended women can be.
Every Man Sees You Naked is divided into several chapters with David giving insight into the various topics that divide men and women. One of the most excellent examples of this is the Mythbusters chapter. Men and women are often accusing and assuming things about each other. Matthews breaks this down by stating the several misconceptions and "setting the record straight."
Matthews not only describes why men think and behave the way they do, he also offers speculation into why men and women have such a hard time understanding each other. "Men and women speak a different language." The book is not quite Men Are From Mars, since it's primary aim is not to focus on both men and women. It is aimed at women who want to better understand men.
I found Every Man Sees You Naked: An Insider's Guide to How Men Think to be an enjoyable and quick read. There's even a fun quiz to see what you've learned. The book should be read with an open and inquiring mind, and a good sense of humor. Anyone offended with the book and its claims should really just keep reading the first chapter over and over again.
