Translating Man-Talk

Ever wonder what he really means? The author of the new book, Manslations, tells us what's really going on inside the mind of a man

There's no doubt that stand-up comic Jeff Mac's new book, called Manslations , will be compared to that tired tome, He's Just Not That Into You. And while there are certain similarities, Mac's book is seriously funny-not just a regurgitation of the same one-liner over and over and over again. When I was done reading it, I found myself with a few questions for Mac, which he was gracious enough to answer via e-mail.

Women are always complaining that their boyfriends can't psychically divine what exactly they should say, do, or buy in any given situation. What do you say to women who say they shouldn't have to tell their partner what they need or want?

These ladies need to understand that we wish we could read their minds. Men are not shoppers - we're not ponderers. We like to figure out the right answer and grab it. For us, that is a win. If you tell us, "Listen, if you really want to know what I'd like you to do/say/etc, I can tell you." Ninety-nine times out of 100, the guy will be thrilled, and YOU WILL GET THAT THING.
