Anti-singles (i.e. see me for p$ychotherapy) analysis of bachelors over 40. My view was confirmed after reading the introduction section in "Men Who Never" by anthropologist Marian Howard who writes the same critique of a Waehler paper presentation.

...beyond reading a critique of it at The Martian Bachelor Science Page.

Synopsis: We're still waiting for a decent book on this subject to come out of an industry which bends over backwards catering to female tastes, while all but ignoring men. The book would get one star if it were not for an occasional glimpse of wisdom in it and the author's stated goal of exploding stereotypes (which he unfortunately then seems to go on to strengthen). Tries to be caring, but is acutely devoid of humor or any sort of real social context. Much of the psycho-jargon is opaque. . .need I continue?

As a woman who knows and has dated many bachelors, this book was more than enlightening to me. It was extremely helpful, and I highly recommend it.

Interestingly, I recognized much of myself in this book. I believe that many woman, like me, who choose to date bachelors are struggling with commitment issues of our own.

To further explore commitment issues experienced by both women and men, I highly recommend another 5-star book, He's Scared, She's Scared, by Steven Carter and Julia Sokol.
