About this ebook

Tyrese Gibson, multiplatinum R&B singer and movie star, and Rev Run of Run DMC and star of Run’s House present a bold , honest, and uncensored loo k into the male mind.

Tyrese and Rev are unlikely best friends—Rev is married with six kids and Tyrese is a single dad still hesitant to settle down. But after an unexpected disagreement in which Rev insisted that marriage is forever, and Tyrese pushed that you could bail when the sex went bad, the two decided not just to agree to disagree but to team up and open their debate to a larger audience. Even though they’re at different points in their journeys, both have clear insights on what it takes to make a relationship work and what can sink it instantly.

Manology is a guide to regaining your relationship confidence and weeding out the cheaters, MANipulators, and pimps from the good men. Just follow Tyrese and Rev’s advice and finally understand the reasons behind your man’s actions. Some men’s behavior can’t be changed, but it’s better to face the truth. No matter how painful or distressing that truth might be, if you know it, you can confront it and move past it. Tyrese and Rev acknowledge that it can be difficult for men to open up, but they present real strategies for men and women to have honest and open discussions about relationship expectations.

With Rev’s hard-earned knowledge on what it takes to make a marriage work, and Tyrese’s sometimes uncomfortable but always straight talk on the single man’s mind-set, Manology is your one true source of knowledge to help you take control of your love life and truly understand your man.

Ratings and reviews

Though he said he (tyrese) doesn't, he uses generalizations. All I can say is he truly didn't do a very good job of showing you how to protect yourself when the issues that he discusses in the book come up. Neither of them do. There was a portion in the book about finding the right guy in the church. Well if you're going to church to find the "right kinda man" you're going to church for the wrong reasons. Life is about lessons learned. You adapt to survive. Fix yourselves and you will ATTRACT the right man

Rev Run and Tyrese compliment one another like a sweet and savory chai latte. There's a great deal of info here, in plain everyday language. I think some of Mr. Gibson's expectations are a bit much and in some cases, Rev Run comes across slightly milquetoast in his view, but there is balance. Take what you need and leave the rest. Good read.

As a woman in a happy loving relationship, I can tell you that just by reading the table of contents I could tell that this book was utter nonsense. Don't try to read about your mans mind, get to know it yourself. And don't let a book like this convince you all men are dogs. Have faith, and understand that things are very seldom black and white.
