Quote from the Author “As long as I can remember, female friends, relatives and even strangers I met in line at Target, have solicited my advice on relationship matters,” explained David, a seasoned writer, but first-time author.  “More often than not, these women were utterly baffled by how men behaved.  Thus I found myself regularly giving impromptu tutorials on ‘how men think’ and ‘why they act the way they do.’  And when I ventured into the ‘entertainment biz,’ I found the women in this field were similarly frustrated in their dealings with their male significant-others.  Regardless of their accomplishments or celebrity status, men remained a puzzling enigma to these women.  It was as a result of this universal angst (and a little prodding from my wife) that I decided to set the record straight by writing a book.  Every Man Sees You Naked: An Insider’s Guide to How Men Think is the perfect gift for any woman who is either currently in a relationship, or plans on being in one in the future.”
