I wonder what the equivalent book for men be? "Just Because She Screams Your Name Doesn't Mean She Loves You?" Amy,

You describe his message perfectly, which is probably why I (a guy) learned something from the book, too. I wonder what the equivalent book for men be? “Just Because She Screams Your Name Doesn’t Mean She Loves You?”

I normally detest dating & relationship books (mainly because I'm polyamorous, but most of those books presume that everyone either is, wants to be, or should be monogamous) but that particular book I found refreshingly frank, with a core message of being true to yourself and not worrying about pleasing other people or changing yourself to be more convenient for them. Ultimately, no one will thank you for it, and it only works against you. Loved your closing line in this post.
