New Book By an Alpha Man -"A Good Man Deferred"

[MsAnn]

Hello All,

This past summer, I attended a conference in Ohio where I had the chance to meet the author of a newly published book "A Good Man Deferred - Tales From the Friend Zone." He was set up with his table in the corner of the room with a copy of his book standing up for all to see. I thought the cover looked rather interesting, so a friend and I decided to go over and talk to him. We were engaged in conversation with this young man for about 20 minutes and I must say that he had some very interesting views about women. My only problem was that he seemed to be a little bitter. I suspected that he had been in some pretty bad past relationships. Anyway, he had just received the books from the publisher (they were still in the box) and he was selling it to people at the conference for $10.00. Being that he was a young Black author (and a Frat) I bought a copy.

The thing that bothers me about the book is that no matter what he says, I feel as if he places all women into a certain category based on his own past experiences with women. I got so upset a couple of times reading this book that I would sometimes put it down and not pick it up for 3 or 4 days. I won't go into any detail because I don't want to ruin it for anyone who wants to read it. I will say that it was pretty obvious that he needed to write this book as a vent, to let all of his past women know how they made him feel. In the beginning of the book, you may tend to feel sorry for him, but you will see what I'm talking about if you keep reading. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing his book. As a matter of fact, I recommend it. He has a lot of good points, but I think he needs to REALLY get over his past so that he can see just how diverse women are as individuals. In other words, there ARE some good ones out there. You can visit the book's website at http://www.agoodmandeferred.com. The book is selling for $13.00 plus $2.00 for shipping and handling. It may take a while to give everyone a chance to read it (if you like), but I would love to know your opinions about the book.
