READ THIS: Little White Whys A Woman’s Guide through the Lies Men Tell and Why by I. Major, M.D.
For those of us women who've spent countless hours, or even years of our lives, analyzing the behavior and ultimately staying with men who just aren't right for us or who don't have our best interests at heart, I. Major's Little White Whys- A Women's Guide through the Lies Men Tell and Why is required reading. Written in not just the tone of a board-certified psychiatrist, Dr. Major manages to be the wise older brother or best male friend who lays it all out for us, helping us decipher what are some of the most common little white lies (whys), huge outright lies, and most importantly, the uncommon and less-known, but equally damaging lies that men will tell women in order to get what they want. Oftentimes humorous and blunt, Dr. Majors illustrates how men usually reveal what they are and their true intentions within the first few conversations we have with them, provided that we know the right questions to ask and more importantly, to decode the lies and red flags in those answers.
There are numerious examples of such questions and the different variation of answers to go with them, each are geared towards different stages of a relationship, from the moment of first meeting and into a committed relationship and marriage. Strong emphasis is placed on communication, and rightly so, as that's often the top reason for divorces and separations. This book is required reading for those of us women navigating the dating world and who are often perplexed by the behavior and intentions of the men we come across. It will help save us time, frustration and the unnecessary aggravation and pain that would've been spent on men who are ill-suited for us, even if they may come in the perfect package and look great on paper. It's a book I wish was available earlier on when I was younger and first embarking on my quest to find Mr. Right.
The book by Dr. Majors, "Little White Whys", is a revelation. At long last we have an educated, literate male willing to reveal the reasons men engage in what seem to women to be highly irrational behavior. Why, for example, when they seem to adore you and are on the verge of a committed relationship, do men feel the need to escape and indulge in childish antics designed to enrage you? Dr. Majors explains why and tells you how not to react. He also tells you what questions not to ask and surprisingly, what hard questions to ask of your prospective mate early on -- to separate the wheat from the chaff. Why waste time on losers? But it would never occur to most women to ask such blunt questions up front. Like are you married? Are you gay? Have you ever been in trouble with the law? Are you sleeping with someone else? etc, etc. etc. I don't know if one should accept all he offers. But the wonderful thing is that he gives you a glimpse into the male mind that most females are not privy to. And that is unique and worth the read!!!!
I am single. I have relationships and never really understand why they end. This book is practical and helps you understand why men do the things they do. It gives good examples of what women should watch out for. There are also some quizzes that pop up so you can see what you should do if you were in that situation. I love how Dr. I. Major also gives you examples of questions you should ask men. It's so important to know what kind of person you are out with. This book is written in such a way that not only is it practical, it keeps you engaged as a reader. It gives you practical advice and mixes humor in the advice given. I found myself laughing out loud several times and agreeing with many things that were brought up. I would definitely recommend this my single friends.

“Guys know and firmly believe that you can and will decide within the first five minutes of meeting us whether or not we will ever get to see you naked. It’s true. You know it, we know it, and everything we do from this point on will all be leading toward one of three directions: the naked zone, the friend zone, or the boyfriend developmental league,” so says I. Major, M.D. in his new book Little White Whys: A Woman’s Guide through the Lies Men Tell and Why.
Wow, whatever happened to love at first sight, flowers and champagne, and riding off into the sunset? In a brutally honest, witty, and ultimately an amazingly accurate portrayal of dating in the modern world, Major assures his readers that you can have happily ever after - if you understand the Little White Whys.
A board certified adult psychiatrist, Major graduated from medical school in 2000 and has been in private practice since 2005. He's treated thousands of patients and families. The majority of those patients come to him as a result of a significant relationship, past or present, that took a wrong turn. Little White Whys is the first step in preventative medicine for dating disasters.
Major warns the truth can be tough to hear because, to hear the truth about men, sometimes ladies have to hear the truth about themselves as well. Dating can be summed up with three simple truths:
1. Believe half of what men say and all of what they do.
2. Guys only want one thing - sex.
3. Everything you need to know about men they tell you during your first three conversations.
Little White Whys is a guide for ladies and men. It covers all the bases including:
- • Why men lie ... the reasons probably aren't what you think
- • The Meeting, how to pick up on everything he's trying to do to pick you up
- • Dating, knowing how to read a man is essential
- • What Not to Say -- taboo words and statements any man does not want to hear
- • Essential questions every woman should ask a man who is pursuing her
- • Happily Ever After -- It really can be achieved
Each chapter sums up what to expect and gives a little ‘pop quiz’ at the end so you can see how well you understand the male mind.
“My intent is for ladies to use this book as a handy dandy guide to the clues and 'trues' in every relationship,” stresses Major. “Clues to how the male mind works and the 'trues' that do work and can lead to Happily Ever After.”
