"The Man Whisperer" Dating Advice Book: Stop Nagging, Or Else You'll Die Alone

Every few years some enterprising publisher knocks off the world's most famous "how to change yourself to get a man to love you" book, The Rules (which itself knocks off Fascinating Womanhood). We know what condescending "rules" these books teach: men are simple, men are visual creatures, don't nag them or they turn into little boys, men like to "chase." The #1 rule is generally a version of be "Put away your penis!", as Patti Stanger might say. 

The 2011 incarnation is The Man Whisperer: A Gentle, Results-Oriented Approach To Communication, a book about "a new method of communication" called (duh) Man Whispering. Penned by "dating experts" Donna Sozio and Samantha Brett, I want to say it's like The Rules on steroids, but really it's like The Rules after a few too many Cosmos: Whoever wrote this must have been drunk. Did I say Cosmos? Scratch that. Four Lokos.

So, I bravely fished The Man Whisperer out of the The Frisky's "books to donate" pile and got reading. Here's what I learned:
