Why you're Still Single is geared towards women wanting to know what goes on in a man's brain, and how they can use this information to better their next relationship. Taken from both a male and a female point of view, the authors accurately portray various dating-related situations which a woman might walk through while trying to meet, date and mate.
Although some of the information presented has been heard before, the tone (humorous) and style (laid back yet blunt) is attractive. And Why You're Still Single is perfectly suited to its target market, which is smart, single women who can't seem to find Mr. Right.
- Helpfully written from both a male and female perspective, with a fun give and take between the two.
- Straightforward, entertaining and practical.
- Well laid out format that keeps the reader wanting to move forward.
- Perfectly suited to the single-woman-who-doesn't-want-to-be market.
- Might be ego bruising for some readers.
- Some (but not all) of the information presented is now standard fare in most dating books.

There are eight sections to Why You're Still Single. They are:
Part 1 - How hard it is to meet a mate, and silly things people do when they like someone.
Part 2 - Avoiding insecurity, keeping your baggage level to a minimum, guys who kiss up and the power of the word no.
Part 3 - Being what you say you hate, having the right to change your mind and not playing games.
Part 4 - Honesty as a means to get what you want, not being jealous, and breaking up.
Part 5 - Trying to change men, women that talk to much, how to tell if a man is really serious about a woman, and what happens when couples do absolutely everything together.
Part 6 - Some off the dumb things that men will say, what happens if you don’t like each other's friends, what to do when you disagree with each other, and knowing when to back away from an argument and say your sorry.
Part 7 - How men feel about beauty, spicing things up in the bedroom, and the way men view women who have sex early on.
Part 8 - Deal breakers, you need more then being with someone to make you happy, compliments may not be the way to win someone over, and accepting that no one is perfect.
