Ladies, Please!: Dating Truths by a Man

by José Covaco

This is no ordinary book on dating. It is a guidebook for both men and women. Within these pages, I will unravel the truth about what's going on in men's minds. What I am about to share with you, most men would never tell you. Alas, I am now a married man, so I have nothing to lose. Even though my vocabulary is limited, I am writing this book to help women understand men a little better. Hopefully it will help men understand themselves as well. You will notice that I haven't mentioned anything about understanding women because I do not believe this to be something that is possible. This book is dedicated to all my ex-girlfriends. All women should read it, and so should all men.

Bought this one out of curiosity .. It is just another one of those men are from mars , women are from Venus category books set up in the Indian dating environment.. Nothing new but it was a nice read.. In two words... Fun and witty

A guidebook to dating for nice guys of india

Finished it in one day, i dont know if its because i am single or i like the way jose thinks. This book is for women to understand men but at the same time a cheatbook for introverted guys. I hope jose writes one book for married men also.

Lighthearted and easy read. It's not really a psychology book based on research, but more of a fun book based on the author's observations. None the less, some very valid points are presented in the book, interspersed with a lot of anecdotes and generic statements.

Okay....nice marketing less content! But fun to read

Just okay! It is a book on women and men thoughts and actions. But i was not convinced on few of the typical acts depicted especially for women. During the first half of the book, there were instances where you would feel that the author is possibly talking about the girls of some old generation and not of 2014! So, one could not completely agree with what is written in a couple of pages. Also, i feel that the same issues/ actions were repeated at multiple places in the book. But nevertheless, the book was fun to read as many things were so true. For example, the mantra of living your life when single, trust in relationships, reactions and attitude of men and women in their initial relationships etc. Overall , it was an interesting book not only on dating but also including the thought process of men and women at some instances ( not all :) ) !. Enjoy reading .....

I have always been a fan of José's humor and he has very well let it out in this book. It is one of those books that you'll enjoy and it might also lighten you up a little. Some people might've to get the "intellectual critic" out of their mind to enjoy it. It's a good take on Indian dating system, social networking, pros and cons of being single and committed etc. and obviously, on men & women (some of which you might have already heard). Just don't expect much intellect and the wits will obviously kick in!

Jose Covaco seems to be married to an unbelievably wonderful woman and all men who want to be married to unbelievably wonderful women should read this book. Women already know all these things but you could buy it so you can point to written proof that you are right :) Either way you'll laugh and that's always a good thing

Desi version of Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus.

[Arnab Padhi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Similar to men are from Mars women from Venus but lot more logical, curt and most importantly short and to the point.
