How To Catch - And Keep - A Man: (How to Love an American Man)

The writing of How to Catch - and Keep - a Man came about when Don Petty was traveling in Honduras. A young Honuduran girl sincerely asked him a question that stayed with him. "How do you love an American man?" For a time Mr. Petty pondered the question trying to imagine what women would like to know about a man. As he came up with new questions and ideas he began putting them in order. He ultimately came up with 36 questions he believed a woman might need answered. It became apparent to him, as he talked with women about what they would like to know about men that there were a wide variety of opinions. The questions he settled on to answer were the most commonly asked ones. From each question Mr. Petty wrote a chapter with a number of ways the question can be answered. A typical question is, "How can I meet a man?" The chapter answering this question gives seven ways to meet a man. For example, "keep your eyes up, open, and warm". Men look at a woman's eye for her questions; thus, eye contact is extremely critical. At the end of the book Mr. Petty offers seven principles for making love and answers ten questions a woman has about financing.
