'You should prepare his meals and massage his feet'

Quote:

new book written by a panel of men seeks to advise women on the 'do's and don'ts' of dating from a brutally honest male perspective.
Written by seven New York-based men who are both in and out of relationships, Single Man, Married Man argues that 'every man want to get married' and poses a blunt question to its female readers: 'So why not with you?'
'No matter where a woman was in life, she should always be able to cater to her man’s needs,' one single author writes in an extract published by DNAinfo, while a divorced co-author advises: 'When he gets his ego stroked, he will be more inclined to love you more.'

Single Man, Married Man was compiled by childhood friends Jean Alerte, a 33-year-old married businessman who owns a Brooklyn yogurt shop, and Frank Gateau, a 32-year-old 'serial dater' who works in PR.
Other co-authors include entrepreneur Jickael Bazin, blogger Rae Holliday, life coach Pervis Taylor III, writer Zangba Thomson and musicians DJ Fadelf and Kel Spencer.
'Where exactly did the romance go now that Prince Charming barely pays attention to you anymore?' the book's website reads.

''Prepare his meals, draw him a bath and massage his feet every now and then''

'It takes a lot to hold their attention, and men tend to lose interest in romantic partners when they stop being, well... interesting.'
Mr Alerte and Mr Gateau - who claim that when men say they don't want to get married, they're 'lying' - spent three years surveying more than 300 male subjects online and in person to arrive at their conclusions.

One contributor described as single mentions the song 'Cater 2 U' by Destiny's Child as being an anthem that 'should be on every woman’s playlist and kept on repeat.'
He advises: 'Prepare his meals, draw him a bath and massage his feet every now and then.'
Another author, this time married, claims that if a man doesn't want to argue with you, it does not mean he is 'weak.'
He suggests: 'It possibly alludes to the exact opposite, that he possesses an inner strength to make the intelligent decision to exit the situation.'
