Why Men Won’t Commit
Getting What You Both Want Without Playing Games
By Dr. George Weinberg 

     Why Men Won’t Commit is a book filled with information, suggestions, and opinions on how the male mind works, why it works that way, and how women can tap into that “real man” behind the smoke and mirrors. It shows how to “tap into the needs” of a man and how vulnerable they really are. There are four keys that Dr. Weinberg points out about getting past the illusions and glamours. Those keys are:

1. Understanding their need to be special.
2. Understanding their need to feel unencumbered.
3. Understanding their need for loyalty.
4. Understanding their need to be emotionally close.

Why Men Won’t Commit is broken up into three parts.

     Part one, titled “His Basic Needs,” is in broken into five chapters and deals with the four keys listed above.

     Part two, titled “Connecting,” deals with sex and the collision of two different worlds – his friends and yours.

     Part three, titled “Taking Care of Yourself,” goes into how to argue with your man and not cause a rift in the relationship in the process and talks about where the big trouble is, and about your most important relationship, which deals with being true to yourself and your partner.

     Dr. George Weinberg has been a therapist for over 25 years. In that time, he has had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of men and learned about what men (in general) truly want in and from a relationship. He is also the author of 9 other books and has appeared on countless radio and talk shows like Oprah. He’s also written for popular women’s magazines like Cosmopolitan and Glamour.

     This is a fascinating piece of reading that I think will come in handy to any woman who wants to understand the male species a bit better. It goes into details that only men themselves could know about their psyche, and why they as a whole act the way they do. After reading Why Men Won’t Commit, I am confident in supporting Dr. Weinberg’s work; it’s pretty clear he knows the psyche of both men and women pretty well. I definitely recommend this book.
