INTRODUCTION

Iused to be a jerk magnet. My need for a man kept the word selective out of my vocabulary. Happiness was also missing, but I was too busy coping to realize it. That was in my days of low self-esteem, lack of spirituality, and the strong belief that I was nothing without a man. I tolerated intolerable behavior, rather than risk losing my latest HIMwho I made larger than life, the tune to my dance, the center of my world, and my top priority. I waltzed for each jerk but cried when I was alone. They sucked me dry as I willingly acquiesced to their needs. Complaining to my girlfriends made it worse. They were as needy as me and encouraged doing things based on their own anger toward men, or a belief that we should stick it out with any available guy.

When desperation set in, I got a haircut. Sure, some women turn to their girlfriends for support when they have problems with men. Some turn to food. Some get the latest book on how to handle a man. When I used to feel out of control with guys, I got lots of haircuts. Then I would talk to Larry or David about my current guy and get the best advice. Compared to my girlfriends outlook, my best gay guy friends perspectives were priceless because while they were outside of the hetero dating scene, they were able to offer perspective into the male mind but keep the focus on MY well-being. They think like men but also deal with the frustrating male dating behavior and attitudes. Gay men see both sides of hetero dating, so they can offer helpful suggestions and real advice from the trenches. After getting straightened out by my gay hairdresser, I felt refreshed, enlightened, and more in control for a whilewith shorter hair.

My gay guy friends finally woke me about how to handle myself!

The most exhilarating feeling on Earth is to be in a win/win situation with guys! I win if Im with one who makes me happy. I win if I leave one who makes me unhappy, because I control my own happiness now and have a life to return to after a breakup. In my book, All Men Are Jerks Until Proven Otherwise, I provide insight on how to put the importance of men into perspective, illustrated by interviews with everyday people. The response from women has been very positive, so I decided to take my advice a step further. For this book I turned to reliable sources that have always worked for me. Instead of interviewing straight women and men, I approached thirty-three smart, observant, and caring gay men to help me enlighten us even more.

Why gay guys? These insightful guys have an inside view and can give you the REAL picture because they interact with men the way we dobut still think the way straight men do on many levels. Gay guys were brought up with the same male stereotypes as straight ones and deal with a lot of the same issues and ways of handling situations. When a woman has a gay friend, hes usually the one she turns to for dating or relationship first aid. Dan, whose many girlfriends include Pamela Anderson, explains:

More than half of my friends are straight women. I always find a lot in common with them. Sometimes were after the same thing, but were not in competition. As a result, theres this wonderful camaraderie.

Gay guys also tend to be more realistic than our girlfriends are. They deal with our tears yet keep a practical perspective on a situation. And since gay guys date men, they have insight on that level, too. Gay guys see things in ways that women cant, and that straight guys arent evolved enough to recognize or dont want you to know. Most gay men hear the same yammering about straight men issues from their own girlfriends that I hear from my readers and have guided them to finding resolutions. They know our patterns and are straighter in addressing them. Implement their input to grow as a healthier woman and take control of YOU with men.

Many gay guys are straight chick magnets, with loads of female friends who cry on their shoulders and welcome the practical advice given. The wonderful characters on the long-running TV show
