Quite funny. Barry is always quite adept in capturing the uncertainty most men experience when dealing with those lovely but strange creatures called females.

Very funny. Fwiw, I have not read the book, nor will see the movie. It violates #6 of The Ten.

I didn’t know what I’ve been missing. ‘I’ll be reading Dave Barry from now on. Thanks.

I’m a man and I read the book too. I wish I could have the time back that I wasted. Barry forgot to point out that Grey was molested by an older woman as a child and still keeps in contact with her for some reason.

This book sucks big time!

What else would make me cry from laughing so hard at 6:30 in the morning but classic Dave Barry.
As a woman, I was wondering what all the fuss was about where this book was concerned. I would much rather read Dave's version and save myself for a Joel Rosenberg or anything about George Washington. Thanks Dave for saving my little grey (Ha) cells from more gutter rot. I get enough of that from Washington DC

Dave drills down and flat out nails early male teenage existence. The book review was sparkling as well.

Following quote spoken in the voice of a Minnesotan female: "Walking boner? Ooh, double crap!"

Always looked forward to Barry's column in the newspaper--back in the day...

Christian starts stalking her and pressuring her to engage in—and I do not mean this to sound in any way judgmental—sicko pervert sex.

I wonder how long before it wouldn’t even occur to an...er...essayist to make this joke.

Barry’s riffage on the 50,000 watt hormone transmitter (his dog) is literally LOL!

I LOVE Dave Barry! Here are his quotes on 50S "Inner goddess":

“My inner goddess is swaying and writhing to some primal carnal rhythm.”
“My very small inner goddess sways in a gentle victorious samba.”
“My inner goddess is doing the Dance of Seven Veils.”
“My inner goddess is doing the merengue with some salsa moves.”
“My inner goddess has stopped dancing and is staring, too, mouth open and drooling slightly.”
“My inner goddess jumps up and down, with cheerleading pom-poms, shouting ‘Yes’ at me.”
“My inner goddess is doing backflips in a routine worthy of a Russian Olympic gymnast.”
“My inner goddess pole-vaults over the fifteen-foot bar.”
“My inner goddess fist-pumps the air above her chaise longue.”


Since I have not read the book I do not know if these are actual quotes, or pure Dave Barry!

Dave Barry had best quit writing right here and retire to Florida. He can't get any better, and he'll just frustrate himself like a horny teenager trying to do so. Oh, wait. You say he already has retired to Florida...?

Oh, well, retired or not, it doesn't matter. At least somebody has figured women out!
