He says it's "just plain dumb" to let a man lock you into a monogamous premarital relationship, where you share a bed, bills, and even kids.

The only way to convert your "committed relationship" into a marriage is to insist on setting a date for the wedding.

The problem for all too many women who call in to my radio show, though, is that they just can't get that reciprocation from men, and women then end up feeling disappointed, disenfranchised, and disillusioned by their failed relationships....I teach them very quickly that expecting a man to respond to them the way a woman would is never going to work.

They then realize that a clear-eyed, knowing approach to dealing with men on their terms, on their turf, in their way, can, in turn, get women exactly what they want.
