Product Description
How many times have you and your friends questioned one another these questions lacking ever coming up with any excellent answers? Your girlfriends just tell you what you want to hear. At the end of the day, the only person who can give you insight into man problems is—that’s right—a man! But guys have hidden agendas. What guy would give up all his dating advantages by spilling the goods?
Steve Santagati would. A self-confessed serial dater and Terrible Boy, Steve is telling all for the benefit of womankind. Every guy is at least part Terrible Boy, and in The Manual, this prime specimen reveals what every woman needs to know to counter Terrible Boy tactics, both amateur and professional. Steve is never condescending or callous, but honest, perceptive, and street-smart. His guidance is straightforward and his insights are dead-on, giving women tools they can immediately place to work.
Learn what you may not want to know but need to know about:
•The Heart of the Terrible Boy (i.e., the scenery of the beast)
•The Male Mind: how he sees you and how you can make this worko your advantage
•Guys on the Hunt: the male modus operandi, from the grocery store to Home Depot
•When Boy Meets Girl: how to handle dating, from flirting to “sext” messaging to learning his weaknesses
•Mating: so you’ve got him . . . should you keep him?
Why learn from a Terrible Boy as a replacement for of, say, a psychologist? Because there’s no replacement for “in the meadow” experience. You’ll benefit from (and laugh at) tales of real things Steve has done in relationships with women as well as of women turning the tables on him when he least expected it. The book also includes a question-and-answer section, in which Steve explores some of the toughest dating issues.
To know Steve is to know the Terrible Boy, and that will take you a long way in understanding all men. Find out how much more fun dating can be when you get the upper hand on Terrible Boys . . .
for excellent.

To everyone that gave this book a terrible review–jeez louise. You must be living under a rock. It seems as if not ONE of you understood what Steve was trying to get at. You’re too ignorant and naive to get the point that he’s building.
This book has opened my eyes and within days I’m seeing a difference in myself. It gives you a different outlook on the games that the sexes play on/with each additional. I cannot even judge that some of you didn’t get this.
Way to be really, REALLY uptight everyone. You know that the things he said are beyond right. Just open your damn minds!

I followed Steve’s suggestions and finished up on stage at the Hard Rock Casino kissing a very hot celebrity with chocolate sauce on our lips!! A fantastic Christmas gift for all of your friends!!!

If I could give this book less than one star I would!
My Letter to Steve:
Hi Steve, I like men, I know lots of you are lost and confused out there and that you are trying to tell sell books. But I have to say that I reflect you are a huge sell out. You must hear this alot from “Real” women, and especially from feminist women, so I am sure this is not news to you. But I have to say you are missing the mark and perpetuating a huge lie through the logical fallacies that most pop culture followers cannot sort out. In additional words, you are taking advantage of people’s ignorance and insecurities, especially women’s, which makes you a woman user and hater, not a woman lover as you so proclaim. I despise to be harsh, but I am calling you on this one!
I just read “The Manual” and establish it wonderfully shallow and illusory if not down right manipulative. I must say Steve, that it is about as insightful as renting Debbie Does Dallas XXX, or any additional Girl-on-Girl, Barely Officially authorized porn movie. I reflect your best advice was probably: “Dye it pink, that will make him “reflect”!!!”
C’mon Steve, in a world that is now increasingly being dubbed as “pornified” (term coined by Pamela Paul, http://www.pamelapaul.com ) ALL I CAN SAY IS YOU OWE EVERY WOMEN WHO READS YOUR HORSESH** A BIG APOLOGY. I’d like one BTW, if you are man enough to respond to me at all. You will probably just write me off as “overly emotional or “needy” like a million others who are no longer allowed to be right woman, and must not admit their own emotions so they can be servants of men’s fantasies…
What you don’t know about women Steve, is ALOT. You have had many women’s bodies, but its very obvous from your writing, that you have never had one woman’s heart or mind.
There is a like and union and depth you cannot achieve through more experiences, but only through right like which does not come from dressing up like a porn star to throw tricks on Halloween or any additional time of the year!
Your book is anti-relationships, anti-intimacy, and sadly anti-like. I am so sad for you and all of us being crushed by this message that preaches the illusion of like over the real thing, cause real like does not look like pornography.
AND BTW, I LOVE NICE GUYS. I dated a “terrible boy” who beaten me a long time ago. I learned that he was a huge player, a liar, and a pornography addict who used local prostitutes and was a suspect in the murder of a child that is still unsolvd in Colorado http://www.alie.org youcan see her online. He was a narcissistic player who used many, many women just like you described that what it means to be a man is some shallow jerk who can only see a woman if she’s wearing a stereotypical porno uniform…do you know what you are sinking like and women too?
And telling women that we want some kind of “terrible boy” stereotype is the largest BS load I’ve heard all week, and I’ve heard some! Its basically praising abusers. Do you know what the stats are for Domestic Violence today (see: http://www.endabuse.org/resources/facts/ )? And yet, you are practically shoving it down our throats, like if we want a nice guy we should check our pulse – sheesh!
I reflect you should check your own pulse Steve, do you have a heart?
Your book is advice for the lonely, for the jaded, for players….its how to play a game, not how to find like or a soulmate or even a name who would take care of you beyond one night of pink dye and perfect swimming suit lines. I hope you know the difference….
You are advising women that all they want is some terrible a**, who will only want them when they look like a porn star – what fantastic advice. No woman really wants that. Neither does any man…even if they are hard up. Sure it might be a fun fantasy, and you might get off, but Steve, in the end its a lonely road for both genders, filled with empty soulless orgasms, and bodies that never connect at the heart.
Its a travesty that you would be considered an practiced in any area of matters or affairs of the heart, and that we are living in a time that is so soul-less that like is merely for sale to the highest bidder.
The are adage that the trafficking epidemic we are now seeing is going to be one of the human rights issues of or time, and researchers and scholars in this area (are you a scholar, I reflect not) are adage that this is now one of the most lucrative industries of our time.
I have been told that I was gorgeous girl my whole life, and I can wear lingerie like your fantasies will never know, but I DO NOT WANT TO BE A PORN STAR STEVE…and I judge in right like, between two people who like each additional. In fact, I don’t reflect you should ever have sex unless you are in like, and if you fall in like every two minutes, then you are a shallow pool my friend. I dare you to respond to me or at least to read this info and do this research and learn what horrors you are perpetuating to make a buck. Now who’s the whore? Seriously, your stuff sucks….you are a terrible a** sellout. You sell out very well, but where’s the honor in that, where’s the heart, where’s the soul, where’s the like?
I DON’T WANT A BAD BOY OR A PLAYER.
Thanks for listening, and sorry for being a bit harsh, but at this point lies and secrets hold no intrigue for me. Hope you get that someday,
Yours Truly, Angel (sometimes a contradiction in terms)

A Man Speaks Against Pornography
http://www.southendpress.org/2007/items/87767
“Porn is used to get men in the mood to kill – military Tie.”
“Pornography and the death of empathy : men are being trained to snub the expierences and feelings of women. Women in pornography are systematically subjected to cruelty and humiliation. This is a death of empathy. This plays out in public contexts all the time. its a serious problem in this culture. In a predatory corporate capitolist system, we have to constantly struggle to reconnect as human beings.”

How to Make Like Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale (Reli?)
Jenna Jameson (Auteur), Neil Strauss (Auteur)
“There comes a moment in every life when a choice must be made between right and incorrect, between excellent and evil, between light and darkness…”
From Publishers Weekly:
With its wit (the book is dedicated to Onan), its victim narrative (multiple sexual assaults), its celebrity dish (Howard Stern is really well brilliant), and its frank, one-fisted prose style (“After three hours of sweaty, psychotic sex, she handed me a huge black strap-on”), the queen of porn’s autobiography is destined to become a lowbrow classic. Jameson’s career started at 16, when she fell for Jack, a tattoo artist. At a party, Jack’s neo-like uncle raped Jameson. Unable to face her father, a Las Vegas cop, she stirred in with Jack. Within a year, she went from high school cheerleader to stripper to nude model to porn actress, with a stop along the way to become a crack addict. Jameson’s life wasn’t so much a downward spiral as a freefall into darkness.
But, as the porn world would have it, the harder she fell, the more everyone wanted her, and she quickly became a top nude model and porn star, and the country’s highest-paid feature dancer, all while leaving a path of carnage worthy of several rock bands. Beneath Jameson’s monstrous diva exterior, but, was a girl who just wanted to become a loving mother and wife. After many failures, she finally succeeded, and her X-rated book ends on an uplifting family tree-values note. Jameson’s life was a mess, and with its multiple formats (interview transcripts, movie scripts, advice sidebars, diary entries, cartoon strips), so is this book. But it’s a remarkably appealing and honest mess, and should earn Jameson some of the mainstream acceptance she so clearly desires.

Thailand’s Child Slaves
http://www.thaiembdc.org/socials/childprs.htm
Women’s issues are still in crisis as well around the globe. In many nations around the globe women cannot take care of themselves and are agreed no recourse to do so. They cannot read or write, do not know their rights, have no voice, cannot vote, cannot hold property, run a business, or set up financial or land holdings. In many places women still have no rights, and can be legally raped and murdered. In some places in the world if a woman turns a man’s marriage proposal down she can have acid thrown into her face marring it forever. In some countries in Africa and Asia they still practice clitoral mutilation:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/medical_notes/241221.stm
Prostitution, the oldest profession, sees 1 in 3 women in Africa contract HIV/AIDS while effective to feed their starving children and in Russia the incidence is also very high. These women are selling what should never be bought or sold and no man of honor would participate in letting this situation continue, much less suppress the voices of women with the courage of conviction to speak out against these crimes against humanity and against women the world over.

I appreciated the truthfulness, straight talk in the writing of Steve. This is how it is supposed to be: Up front honesty. The choice is then up to you.
