Lonely?

Some Dear Readers, at times, express their loneliness. Has Cow got the book for them!

"Why Men Fear Marriage" by RM Johnson, (so afraid of commitment he won't put his name or photo on the book) will have you happily resolving never to date again.

By the time he's done explaining that it's all about how much money you make, how slender you are, how he might stay with you a few years but not really want to be with you, and how he'll resent any children you have from previous relationships, you will be overjoyed to be single rather than with someone who thinks even an iota like this man.

Yes, Cow usually does put a link to books she reviews, but this book was so cynical, so cold, and so horrid she won't.

In fact, Cow is leaving for the Shampoo Parlour right now to wash this author right out of her Topiary!

Moo!

RM Johnson is probably a pseudonym for the bloke who owns the Cat 'n' Chocolate Cabin.

you take one look at charlie sheen and wonder why there isn't a book, "why WOMEN should fear marriage?"

why did someone marry him? his wife
(now the mother of his twins) should have read THAT book.

those books like the one you read depress me much. sometimes i worry that more than i want to believe is true. on this one, i prefer to bury my head in the sand. and while i'm there, i think i'll take a nice nap and dream that all my wonderful gay friends are straight and really into me

Kevin: Ah. Cow has spent many a pretty penny there, herself!

(quickly charting quickest route there)

Weight: YES! Well, Charlie can doubtless be charming. Agree on the books...the pickings on the New Book Shelf were slim otherwise Cow would have let this one be.It is rather depressing, however, most, hopefully, people don't think that way.

Happy dreams, Weight!

Moo!

Clearly all men aren't that way. Only the ones *I* date. ha.

This is most definitely the sort of man I've encountered in my years as a single mom.

I'm so disgusted by it all, that I've gone nearly a year without dating, except for one small aberration with one man just like this.

Since then I've been alone. Lonely sometimes, yes. But blessedly alone, rather than beat my head against the wall over men such as these.

So depressing.

Watercolor:
Cow must admit that certain of your dating experiences went through her mind while skimming quickly through this book!

Alas.

Karen:
Ah, yes. In a way, it was interesting to read this slimeball's book without having to date him, or to see past his facade of being a nice guy.

But yes, it is sad that there seem to be a lot of men out there like this, who see women as commodities to be exploited or profited off!

Here's to a better year, Weight, Watercolor, and Karen!

Moo!
