A testimonial from a reader that reviewed this book before its final completion…
To All Who Want To Read Women Like A Book,
When Corey first told me the title to his newest work…
REAL MEN CAN READ WOMEN LIKE A BOOK! Defining Manhood In The Middle Of A Relationship Disaster.
…I thought, okay he has gone over the top now. He made some claims over the phone about what he has unearthed and then on his website we writes, ‘I will not exaggerate any promise or claim I make’ about what is in this book.
Then he said to me, “If you read the first half of the book and can honestly say I have not NAILED IT, I will buy you a steak dinner.”
Corey knows my history with women and that I have always been baffled by their behavior, so I knew he was challenging me directly.
So last Friday at 4:32 pm, I started reading. At 7:48-8:02, I ate dinner. At 3am I drifted into a daze with Corey’s words interrupting my ability to fully sleep. His book was haunting me because of the calculations he had made about the way women think and how men must respond to a woman when she behaves badly.
I started to see the mistakes I had made dealing with disrespectful, ungrateful and angry women. So a few hours later, I gave up on any possibility of sleep and allowed myself to be fully seduced into reading the entire book!
Then I read ‘the more pleasing you are to an unhappy, angry, moody or ungrateful woman the worse her behavior will get!’ Then I was completely hooked. Just saying that out-loud sounds nuts, but my experience with various women over the years told me that Corey knew exactly what he was talking about.
Sleep became a burden, food was an inconvenience and even drink got in the way. I was possessed by the pages as I turned them. I have never been so gripped by a book, so enthralled, so illuminated. I felt like the book had taken me as a hostage! I just had to know what his next outrageous claim was going to be and then read how he handles women.
Even the case study of Confessions Of A Reforming Angry Woman and Her Man is life changing me just by itself!
Corey has somehow tapped into the knowledge-bank of unstable female behavior where not only does he understand strange female behavior but he knows exactly how to handle it. I know it sounds unbelievable, but it’s true. It’s so true!
And he really does know what YOU need to know to be a REAL MAN!
You see, my ex used to phone me, puke her anger then slam the phone down. The day I finished the first hundred pages, she called me that afternoon to remind me what a loser I am. Surprisingly, to both of us, I was very calm, let her finish, then we both experienced something new – I let her know, in no uncertain terms, that she would NEVER be allowed to behave like that with me again, ever.
And, AND…She didn’t hang up. I think we were both in shock. For the first time in 11 years with her, I felt like I had control of myself, the conversation, and her undivided attention. I politely said good-bye, and within 5 minutes, she called back and APOLOGIZED. I tell you, the feeling I had was worth a thousand times whatever Corey is charging for his book. What I can tell you is that I am paying out 10’s of thousands of dollars on alimony because of what I did not know!
I really believe I would be happily married to her right now if I had known in the beginning what I have learned from Corey so quickly. Instead, I spoiled her rotten and she lost all respect for me.
If you want to save your marriage, make it better, or if you are single and want to know how to be a real, authentic man for the next woman – and to be able to READ HER LIKE A BOOK, please do yourself a BIG favor and consider Corey’s book. It will change your life forever.Sincerely,
Jim Edwards, Real Man Newbie
All is well in my universe, and constantly getting better. Thank you for this great gift to my life! The entire process has been absolutely transformational. I feel I’ve stretched past issues and problems I thought would take me years in only a couple of weeks. Intense weeks! But so completely worth it. Your candor and intuition facilitate personal discovery on a level and at a speed that astounds me, as I’m sure it does your other clients.
Much love to you!

P.S. I’m glad your new client (with the history that makes mine look like a puppy dog) found you!
I’ll be thinking good thoughts for him, but not worrying at all, since I know he’s in good hands.
Hi Corey,
I am at the end of a divorce after having been separated for 8 months. We’ve been married 21 years and have two great sons (20 and 16). I think I have had a lot of the same thoughts that you expressed on the radio show, but not nearly as clearly or concisely articulated. You wish someone would explain things to you this clearly when you were 20 (and that you were willing to listen).
A psychologist (my relationship eventually depressed me greatly…I didn’t want it to fail, but couldn’t make it succeed) advised me that the worst thing I could do was be in limbo. It could be beneficial to work on the relationship, it could be beneficial to move on, but it was a waste of time and harmful to sit on the fence. That eventually resonated.
Really a lot of your thoughts resonate strongly: sex and money (I’ve never seen it put better), kids and divorce, listening to your gut, etc. Spot on to an amazing degree.
My spouse just wasn’t that into me (I forwarded your blog to my brother and sister and joked that you named it for me)…until now at the bitter end and I had to be the bad guy and say, “No, we need to press on.”
I am hoping I can continue to learn and find happiness in a relationship that works well. I also want to be able to continue to give my sons good advice. I am still quite close to both of them if not closer in some ways through all of this (probably because I no longer take my relationship with them for granted).
So, congratulations (and thanks) on coming up with something unique, practical, and insightful. I’m looking forward to a reflective read.

Okay, Corey…here is a comment for you……your book is not just about divorce. The book, and it’s concepts, can be utilized in any relationship situation. I had a recent falling out with my dearest and best friend…there are three concepts, or rules, that helped me respect myself throughout the situation.
- Don’t give away your power. For five years I’ve allowed my friend’s temper to hold me back, to beat me into submission. That’s not like me, but she played dirty and she said awful things that I didn’t want to hear. Not true things – I can take the truth. These things hurt because she was trying to be mean. But I gave her that power over me…which leads me to number 2…
- We teach people how they can treat us. I taught her that I would concede, so I must accept a level of accountability for how the friendship ended. She thought that she could treat me a certain way and I would be fine with it…because I always have been. I taught her that I feared her temper and she took advantage of that.
- I’m not going to phrase this the way you do, but certain people earn the right to be cut out of our lives through their behaviors and actions. This is something I have mastered…I do not sit idly by and let someone destroy me or my life. It might take me some time to determine that they are a poisonous influence, but when I do they are out. And I walk away clear-headed with no regrets. I just lost a five year friendship because she cannot take the truth on any level…I expressed hurt feelings and that turned into me not being supportive or happy for her. She’s even gone so far as to say I’m jealous of her. She lost the privilege to have an opinion about me or my life; she lost the right to participate in my life in any capacity. And I feel…peace.
So…even those of us who have never been married, which would make it impossible to be contemplating divorce, can glean valuable advice and thoughtful information about ourselves and our relationships through your rules.

Corey Donaldson finally says what the rest of the world refuses to say about relationships and divorce. Corey’s rules apply to every relationship whether they are rocky or not. If every woman and man would look at the rules and go deep inside themselves the divorce rate would plummet… or sky rocket depending on the outcome of the rule. Corey’s insight on how men and woman use sex differently casts an entirely new light on sex altogether, especially his first rule which diagnoses the truth about the state of a relationship. Corey was spot-on with this rule it made me wonder if he had been a fly on the wall on my own home! I highly recommend this e-book as a tool to assess your relationship and to create certainty about the future. Thanks Corey!

Almost immediately within getting Corey’s e-book I was going over the rules with my boyfriend. It opened up the space to discuss some issues we were having. Having been divorced some years earlier and still in the process of healing, Corey’s e-book gave me the keys to healing and insight on how I might be sabotaging my current relationship. Intimacy is a difficult issue once you’ve been through the pain of divorce and so avoiding it seems easier. But, at the end of the day I know I want to be loved and Corey’s e-book revealed what I can do to allow that to happen again. Even though he is a backward Australian I still like Corey’s spunk and style, ha ha ha.

“I was beginning the process for divorce and heard you on Tiffany Granath’s show on the Playboy Channel. I took the chance and bought your book. Your candid nature and the questions you make us all ask ourselves truly get to the heart of the issues. I love how the answers to the question are very to the point. If you answer truthfully and the answer is “this” then yes you are doing the right thing. You talk about all the fears of the stigma’s that are put on divorce. In the book you take those head on and ease those fears. It is a great tool for anyone going through a divorce, who has gone through a divorce or is thinking of getting a divorce. Thank you Corey!”

Dear Corey:
“As I’m sure you hear often, I will admit when I first heard of your program I had a small amount of skepticism. How could all of these issues I’m dealing with be fixed by one person after only six weeks? Well, after one phone conversation with you I knew I made the right decision to become one of your clients.
At the time of our initial meeting, I was in the midst of a difficult period of indecisiveness and inner turmoil based on not living my authentic self. Although sometimes very difficult, you helped me face past emotions and situations to heal my current relationships and to guide me through success in future relationships as well. Your methods are not only effective in dealing with any relationship issue, they are essential life tools.
I am grateful for your ability to help me gain clarity – whether it is removing the “predators” from my life or finding the people who keep me on my reservation, I am better equipped and a stronger man ready to take on any life challenge. The clarity I now have in my relationships has trickled through all aspects of my life, allowing me to be true to myself, which in turn allows me to be true to my loved ones. I can now see for myself without a doubt what is real and authentic in others and what will cause harm in my life.
I will forever be empowered by authenticity and the ability to seek true happiness for myself.”
Your Friend,

“I was facing extreme indecision and pain regarding a four year relationship that had just ended the night before I heard Corey Donaldson being interviewed on the radio. His ability to get right to the bottom line of the matter with the callers really impressed me. I dared consider contacting Corey, having been a former prizefighter and US Marine, I thought I was self sufficient and plenty tough enough to handle my own problems. However, once again, the pain of break-up was upon me.
Facing yet again, another dissolution of an important relationship in my life, I finally had to consider the fact that I needed outside help or be doomed for more failed relationships the rest of my life. With all of my usual cynicism I contacted Corey. He explained the cause of my problem within 10 minutes of our very first discussion. I put his advice into action that afternoon and by that very same evening my former fiancé was at my house and we were reconciling our broken union.
Not only did my first conversation with Corey repair the damage that I had done, by following his advice, within a week my relationship with my fiancé was stronger and better than it had ever been! This convinced me to enlist Corey’s help by participating in one of his programs. After two previously failed marriages and a few other serious relationships, with Corey’s help, I have discovered what the problem is in an unbelievably short period of time!
The insight gained in my discussions with Corey have not only allowed me to love more deeply but accept deep love in return, for the first time in my life. But, Corey’s help didn’t end there, my relationships with my father, children and even business associates are being affected with the same positive results.
I came so close to not making the move that has positively changed my interactions with the world around me that I shutter when I think about it. I asked for help with the lady in my life and what I got was repair for all of my relationships, even my business!”

“Honestly, I regret that I waited three months to buy your e-book after hearing you on the radio. I really wish I ordered it much sooner, but I was afraid of it! I had been afraid to know the deeper aspects of what you were talking about on air. Does that sound strange? To some extent I had become so accustomed to the feeling of uncertainty and indecision over the past year, but I felt a knowing that once I got your e-book that I would be out of excuses. That’s scary! You promised rules and questions that would give me instant clarity, and like a thud, that’s exactly what I got. Now that I’ve read it and not avoiding it, I feel like I can breathe again. I have read other books this year about dealing with ‘relationship uncertainty’, but in the context of your book, they are all irrelevant. But I will say this, the other books were easier to read because I was not afraid of them. There was nothing to be afraid of, they were just recycled boring crap written by phony celebrity authors! Why do publishers allow celebrities to fill books with so much nothing? So anyway, thank you Corey! Your words have allowed a peace to come into my life that has been absent for years, YEARS! I’m very grateful to you.”
