What Women Want When They Test Men: How To Decode Female Behavior, Pass A Woman's Tests, And Attract Women Through Authenticity

Inciteful, fairly goid read and ties into being a spiritual being living a human existence and finding the integrity that's in a man's DNA. Thanks for giving me back something to read that backs and supports my position. A man must stand for something or falls for everything! And he doesn't have to be backed in a corner by the beliefs of an insecure women.

This is a great book. It is a very easy book to read without any sugar coating on top. From start to finish, things are laid out in a very easy and understandable format with chapters and sub-categories. This book was very informative and gave me a great new perspectives on the different tests that men get all the time. But after reading it, I completely understand these tests and know that most of them are subconscious. When you are reading though it, you will smile and laugh as you can totally relate what is in the book to your own personal experiences. I HIGHLY recommend this book and I have already purchased some others by the same Author that I look forward to reading!

There is good info on the instinctual reactions and tests that some women may do. Even better is the information on having your own integrity and congruency. What I would caution is that a lot of the behavior of women described in this book can easily be attributed to a narcissistic personality or high anxiety people. That isn’t necessarily bad in and of itself, but a covert narcissist can be really draining and upend your life. As the author points out, you need to realize your limits and boundaries and recognize when your partner’s bad behavior is abusive and toxic and not due to just insecurity. Watch out for the narcissists and other borderline personalities, covert or otherwise.

Very interesting book. Recommended to all kind of men who want to achieve the best in their relationships with women. Thank you @Bruce Bryan for this piece!

The book is written in a simplistic approach, some of it is a bit redundant, but there is some good advice on how to become a better man and stick to your principles, nurture your self esteem and grow into a high quality man, to opt for a high quality sonando.

I've only been married for less than two years, a newbie, and I realize now that I was the husband trying to please his wife in whatever way I could/can. After reading this book, I could point my finger at my wife for this insecurity or that anxiety or whatever...bottom line, if I'm not fulfilling my role as a man by following my principles (good principles), then I'm not being the leader she wants to follow. While I was reading this book, my wife and I had an argument and she started raising her voice and got mad. I told her, "I'm done. I'm not going to talk to you while you're like this. We'll talk about this later." She got even more upset and the more she yelled the more I became quieter and said, "No." She stormed off yelling and shut the bedroom door and locked it. I walked to the door and at that point I remember that Bruce said something about, paraphrasing, "don't chase them when they're like that." So I stopped and walked away and started laughing on the inside. I may have partially failed that but I stayed cool and calm like Bruce said. I can't wait to do that again even better next time. : ) I came away from reading Bruce's book, in moments like these and in all tests that women and LIFE throws at us men, "embrace rejection and enjoy the conflict," forgive/let go, love her for who she is, keep abiding by your good principles, welcome solitude (don't share or tell her everything...talk to God and or your solid friends or mentor), and keep working on yourself to become a better man, the man God intended you to be and your wife and people around you will respect you. Many wise men have said, "I would rather be respected than liked."

What the author says makes good sense: women can, and do, test men. After reading the first couple of chapters, a lot of interactions that I had had with women -- interactions which I was wont to label as "irrational" -- started making perfect sense to me. The epiphany was awesome. A woman *will* continue to test you, and this is not restricted to the courtship stage; it will happen throughout one's life and -- though the frequency of these tests may go down -- test she will! As men, the mistake we often make is that we try to understand women using the same frame of reference that we use for judging other men and that's a recipe for disaster. The point is, this trait to test men is "burnt" in to women: that is how they have been created by the Maker. An analog to this idea would be the way we respond in a certain way when we see a beautiful woman: your reaction in such a situation is not something that you need to consciously learn, it is an automatic response to an attractive stimulus. And that's the whole point that the author tries to put across to the reader: the very fact that she is testing you implies that she has an interest in you; she wouldn't do that if she weren't. Men and women are different in their traits, and this is what makes our lives on this planet so much more fun, if were only to embrace these differences rather than fight them. My only regret is that I did not have access to a book like this when I was in my twenties. I can only look back now with regret and wonder about all the lost opportunities with women when, what I assumed to be a confrontation or even an attempt to put me off, were actually signs of her interest in me. The fact is, she wouldn't have been testing me if she weren't interested in me in the first place.

Great book, Bruce Bryans goes in depth into the topic without wuwu stuff. I like how sharp he is and how he say things efficiently and honestly. Overall the book is easy to read and full of precious knowledge, straight to the point. It's not only a book about women and how to attract them; it's also a book about building a better man. You won't lose your time.

Book is full of nonsense based on nothing

It may be written for men as the consumer but as a woman I find this book very enlightening. Not only have I found wisdom in the author's approach but in scenarios he provided. I learned a lot from this book. Thank you.!

From the first paragraph to the end, the book is covered with mind boggling sentences about everything I did wrong during my entire dating life, including a frustrated marriage. I simply cannot stop recommending this book.

This is a fantastic book about creating boundaries with women. It has a lot of good advice about communicating verbally and non-verbally. The book also points out not so obvious non-verbal traits that could be perceived as approval seeking such as caring too much about the opinions of others and desperate to please her over oneself. He argues that developing strong boundaries shows a woman confidence and manliness. Each chapter breaks it down and teaches the type of fitness tests women perform on men to seek manly traits. Overall, an excellent book and well worth the price. A book that can continually go back to and practiced when tested by women's fitness tests.
