I'm a recently divorced 50-something-year-old woman. I only vaguely remember what dating is all about/like, and felt I needed a 'brush-up course' before tackling the now (increasingly frightening) dating world. I chose "Men are Like Fish..." because it was a cute title, and I was intrigued by the fact that it is written from a MAN's perspective. Being manipulative, coy, or false in any way does not figure in to Mr. Nakamura's advice. This refreshingly honest book advises leading with your brain, but following with your heart - advice that I have given my daughter - but had forgotten for myself. I'm sending this book to my daughter ASAP, as it's really about being happy and sharing that appropriately and safely with interesting men.

I loved this book and Mr. Nakamoto is really giving us women the keys to the kingdom. Men Are Like Fish should not be overlooked. It is filled with many "cheat sheets" that you can use to quickly check the pulse of your current relationship (or of the current man in your life). If, after having compared the relationship to Mr. N's key points, you still think your man is worth spending more time with, then you can give a little slack on the line but you'd probably want to check back in a week or two to check the temperature of the waters. If the waters haven't changed, then you have your answer and you should jump ship as fast as you can or you're headed for the falls. I see no problem with having this book around, it can also be used to measure your other relationships. Many of the items on his lists, you may already know in your heart; but, wouldn't it help to have it handy to remind you what's really important to consider when you want the relationship to last a long time? If you can put up with the constant references and metaphors to fishing, this book is very easy to read. (I can't seem to get into the other guy's book, He's Just Not Into You.) Buy Men Are Like Fish, you won't regret it. It's worth the tiny investment. It's your happiness that's at stake here after all.

This is the worst book on the subject that I have read. It is not written well - or even easy to read for that matter and with advice like have good skin, have a pleasant voice and don't have an opinion that is contradictory to your date's, Nakamoto's book is shallow and unhelpful. Other books on the subject like He's Just Not That Into You are much more realistic, empowering and helpful.

This is an excellent dating advice for women of all ages as it really takes a realistic approach to dating. I liked the author's tone and he really helped to dispell a few myths along the way. A must read, along with "How to Meet and Marry the Right Person."

A real page turner. If you're jumping back into the dating game, it has a lot of information that will just pump you up and get you ready. If you're already dating this book will seem like a bunch of fluff. Still it's a good thing to go over to keep you up on the game. Don't buy this book; borrow it. It would be nice to read a book by Nakamoto geered towards men but I hope in that book he knows the difference between a metaphor and a simile.
