In what internal organ does true love reside? I began to feel the need to dissect and compare the guts of men to see what makes the rotten ones so awful and the good ones so hard to come by. I could see myself pinning them to paper with little labels, the heart of a liar, a good man's spleen... Armed only with curiosity, a tape recorder and a list of questions covering love, sex, ,commitment, marriage and family, I set out to interview 1,000 men across the country.  I stopped at 527 interviews. I had laughed and cried with these men - often in the space of a single interview - as I vicariously experienced their joys and victories, and their dreams and nightmares.     Excerpt "Marriage beats the dignity out of people." --- Chris, 56, lawyer "I would love to find a woman I could be weak with." --- Rick, 24, convention planner "...had I become the woman who knew too much?" --- Barbara Silkstone

Another way of viewing the unholy state of matrimony is that marriage will cure us of this thing called love...Or..Only in California where this cupid resides do we get the truth Marriage is not a word..It's a sentance...Or if you prefer a rhyme.."Met a gal who said make us happy in matrimony- now I'm paying alimony..."..I will read this book because it sounds like it will make me even happier than ever to say ..free at last ..free at last ..thank God Almighty I'm free at last..with a tip of me hat to MLK

Hi Barbara! This sounds like a book that the "Modern" man should get too. I Have been married more than thirty years and still don't see what my wife saw in me other than I was alot younger lol. I also think a woman should research the same way for women as I still can't figure them out either....Best of luck. Please feel free to visit my site here in the "Den"

Barbara Silkstone hits a new high in Do-It-Yourself books. Wanting to know what men really thought, she went out and asked them! Silkstone’s goal was to interview 1,000 men about women, love, and relationships. She buckled at 527 guys, but not before collecting some of the juiciest tales! 527 Naked Men & One Woman - The Adventures of a Love Investigator is: Unique, Informative, Cautionary and Great Fun! I recommend this book for any woman during, before or after a relationship.

The Miami Book Fair was a wonderful experience. I want to thank all those who visited my booth and offered their kind comments. I was pleased to have so many men purchase my book. It was a pleasant surprise. I hope you all enjoy the story of my adventure...it was a lot tougher than it might seem! :) Barbara 527 Naked Men & One Woman The Adventures of a Love Investigator
