Men Should Read Romance Novels

I know! I know! Not gonna happen!! But, imagine if they did?! They would have a MUCH better understanding of women. Currently, I am reading Fifty Shades of Grey. Yeah yeah yeah....Mommy Porn...I know. But, hey, it's something without vampires, werewolves or witches, so it's something different for me. lol

Anyway, the writing is not very good in the literary sense. But, as I am reading it, I have realized that it's written in the way that someone who has never read a romance novel imagines they are written...if that made any sense at all.

However, if a man were to read it, it would simply and easily tell him what most women are thinking and feeling. Yes...we are that insecure! Yes...we are constantly warring within ourselves! Yes...we want the prince charming...but not ALL the time!

If a man is married, it's easy. He can just read one of his wife's books. This is the best way to get to know what she is thinking and feeling and what she might like from you. I know I choose books were I can identify with the female character and am enthralled by the male character(s). My favorites are those written in the 1st person...most good romance books are. It allows the book and the characters to become more personal. For a man reading the same book, it takes you into the mind of your woman. Now, isn't that what all men "say" they want?
