Read an Excerpt

Chapter 1: How to Sift Through All the Games Players to Find Mr. Right
Why Buy the Cow When You Can Get the Milk for Free? The truth is simple, but it may not sound so good. The fact of the matter is that a man doesn't have to get married to have the comforts of being married. He can have sex. He can have companionship.

Chapter 1: Finding Mr. Right, Part 2
Provoking fear is the most sinister of the techniques, but some players use it. In this method, a man identifies a strong need a woman has and fills that need. For some women, it may be the need for companionship to fight loneliness



Book Description

The popular relationship guru blows the whistle on perpetual bachelors, with wise words for women seeking nuptial-minded men.

A male radio host once chided William July for being so open about the playboy mentality. "Man, stop giving away all of our secrets to the women," the host said. But July, who has been happily married for six years, believes that this kind of secrecy and game playing is harmful to everyone. A self-proclaimed former "General in the Bachelor Corps," July now openly reveals the tricks of the bachelor trade to help women find guys who are genuinely ready for commitment. Confessions of an Ex-Bachelor delivers no-nonsense dialogue on:

  • The three stages of bachelorhood, and how to tell whether your date will ever graduate past groom-a-phobia

  • How to hold your man accountable and stand your ground — without making him feel trapped

  • Overcoming cultural cues that make men see marriage as a life in chains

  • Where to find your future groom

  • How to translate a bachelor's double-talk

  • Getting past the stereotypes of divorced men, "nice guys," and how men feel about being stepfathers

A must read for every single woman who wonders what her guy is really thinking, Confessions of an Ex-Bachelor is full of revelations and rewarding advice.
