Dealing with women is something that we men have been trying to do since the beginning of time. They play games and these games have no rules except winning at any cost. We cannot expect them to play fair, but what we can do is learn how to recognize their bluffs and show that they are always holding the losing hand.

Women will push your buttons and do whatever it takes to take control of the relationship. With this books, I hope to teach you guys about one of their most time worn tools. The bluff. When all else fails, they will reach for the chips and threaten to leave or to cry or to cut you off.
