Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The coauthors of Men Who Can't Love promise women "wisdom without pain" in this slick self-help guide to ideal romantic relationships. Describing women caught in various unrewarding relationships with men, Carter and Sokol compile a battery of catchy, puerile aphorisms about men and rules of behavior for dealing with them. Readers are warned to avoid "any man who wears his napkin like a bib" as well as one who reads The Satanic Verses on public transportation. Although mixed with some common-sense recommendations, these observations (e.g., "Unless you have good connections at Interpol, think twice before dating an elusive man") generally insult the intentions and intelligence of the reader. First serial to Cosmopolitan; paperback rights to Dell; Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Clubs featured alternates.

An Easy Read for EVERY Woman
I have bought this book for the third and final time. I have even bought this book for friends. It's a great book to read when you are getting out of a relationship and are feeling a bit discouraged in the self-esteem department. Keep it handy, read a few pages at a time and motivate yourself!
A must-read
This book is so real, cuts through the b.s., and tells women what is essential for keeping sane in our relationships with men.
I picked up "What Smart Women Know" in a bookstore about 15 years ago, when I was 21 and in a bad relationship. I have kept this book, and I know it has helped me through many other relationships, over the past 15 years.
I am not even going to cite sayings from the book, because I couldn't do it justice that way.
I feel lucky I wandered into that book store and grabbed this book. I have read many other self-help/relationship books, and they did not help me in any way near as much as "What Smart Women Know"
I think many of us would ultimately get the love we deserve if we paid atttention to much of the advice in this book.
Go get it, Sisters!
one of my favorites
I bought this book for the first time after my first marriage ended (should have read the book before I married him). Not long after, I thought I was in love with a man who had some interesting problems. Thank goodness I read the book and realized that I couldn't help him. I've given multiple copies of this book away and have loaned it out to many others. It's currently on loan to a friend who is going through a divorce. I'm married to a wonderful man and I like to flip through the book just to remind myself how lucky I really am to have a man who loves me and respects me. He understands me and I understand him. I love being a smart woman because I'm a happy woman. I'm about to order this book for my niece. She doesn't yet know what smart women know.
