Tired of bros and do-nothing daddys, sick of misogynistic behavior in the boardroom, and frankly dreading yet another bachelorette party with a stripper, Dalal Khajah and Josephine Wai Lin founded the service company ManServants Inc.

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. Whether you have been with her for five days or five years the signs will be the same because their playbook is universal. Women will test you. Women will play games with you. 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.
