"Lose yourself: Swoon has wicked fun answering that age-old query: What do women want?"—Chicago Tribune Contrary to popular myth and dogma, the men who consistently beguile women belie the familiar stereotypes: satanic rake, alpha stud, slick player, Mr. Nice, or big-money mogul. As Betsy Prioleau, author of Seductress, points out in this surprising, insightful study, legendary ladies’ men are a different, complex species altogether, often without looks or money. They fit no known template and possess a cache of powerful erotic secrets. With wit and erudition, Prioleau cuts through the cultural lore and reveals who these master lovers really are and the arts they practice to enswoon women. What she discovers is revolutionary. Using evidence from science, popular culture, fiction, anthropology, and history, and from interviews with colorful real-world ladykillers, Prioleau finds that great seducers share a constellation of unusual traits. While these men run the gamut, they radiate joie de vivre, intensity, and sex appeal; above all, they adore women. They listen, praise, amuse, and delight, and they know their way around the bedroom. And they’ve finessed the hardest part: locking in and revving desire. Women never tire of these fascinators and often, like Casanova’s conquests, remain besotted for life. Finally, Prioleau takes stock of the contemporary culture and asks: where are the Casanovas of today? After a critique of the twenty-first-century sexual malaise—the gulf between the sexes and women’s record discontent—she compellingly argues that society needs ladies’ men more than ever. Groundbreaking and provocative, Swoon is underpinned with sharp analysis, brilliant research, and served up with seductive verve.

"Alana Massey's prose is to brutal honesty what a mandolin is to a butter knife: she's sharper; she slices thinner; she shows the cross-section of a truth so deftly--so powerfully and cannily--it's hard to look away, and hard not to feel that something has shifted in you for having read her." -- Leslie Jamison, New York Times bestselling author of The Empathy Exams From columnist and critic Alana Massey, a collection of essays examining the intersection of the personal with pop culture through the lives of pivotal female figures--from Sylvia Plath to Britney Spears--in the spirit of Chuck Klosterman, with the heart of a true fan. Mixing Didion's affected cool with moments of giddy celebrity worship, Massey examines the lives of the women who reflect our greatest aspirations and darkest fears back onto us. These essays are personal without being confessional and clever in a way that invites readers into the joke. A cultural critique and a finely wrought fan letter, interwoven with stories that are achingly personal, All the Lives I Want is also an exploration of mental illness, the sex industry, and the dangers of loving too hard. But it is, above all, a paean to the celebrities who have shaped a generation of women--from Scarlett Johansson to Amber Rose, Lil' Kim, Anjelica Huston, Lana Del Rey, Anna Nicole Smith and many more. These reflections aim to reimagine these women's legacies, and in the process, teach us new ways of forgiving ourselves.

A scandalously talented stage performer, a practiced seductress of both men and women, and the flamboyant author of some of the greatest works of twentieth-century literature, Colette was our first true superstar. Now, in Judith Thurman's Secrets of the Flesh, Colette at last has a biography worthy of her dazzling reputation. Having spent her childhood in the shadow of an overpowering mother, Colette escaped at age twenty into a turbulent marriage with the sexy, unscrupulous Willy--a literary charlatan who took credit for her bestselling Claudine novels. Weary of Willy's sexual domination, Colette pursued an extremely public lesbian love affair with a niece of Napoleon's. At forty, she gave birth to a daughter who bored her, at forty-seven she seduced her teenage stepson, and in her seventies she flirted with the Nazi occupiers of Paris, even though her beloved third husband, a Jew, had been arrested by the Gestapo. And all the while, this incomparable woman poured forth a torrent of masterpieces, including Gigi, Sido, Cheri, and Break of Day. Judith Thurman, author of the National Book Award-winning biography of Isak Dinesen, portrays Colette as a thoroughly modern woman: frank in her desires, fierce in her passions, forever reinventing herself. Rich with delicious gossip and intimate revelations, shimmering with grace and intelligence, Secrets of the Flesh is one of the great biographies of our time. NOTE: This edition does not include a photo insert.

From the author of the acclaimed Queen of Fashion--a brilliant look at the glittering world of turn-of-the-century Paris through the first in-depth study of the three women Proust used to create his supreme fictional character, the Duchesse de Guermantes. Geneviève Halévy Bizet Straus; Laure de Sade, Comtesse de Adhéaume de Chevigné; and Élisabeth de Riquet de Caraman-Chimay, the Comtesse Greffulhe--these were the three superstars of fin-de-siècle Parisian high society who, as Caroline Weber says, "transformed themselves, and were transformed by those around them, into living legends: paragons of elegance, nobility, and style." All well but unhappily married, these women sought freedom and fulfillment by reinventing themselves, between the 1870s and 1890s, as icons. At their fabled salons, they inspired the creativity of several generations of writers, visual artists, composers, designers, and journalists. Against a rich historical backdrop, Weber takes the reader into these women's daily lives of masked balls, hunts, dinners, court visits, nights at the opera or theater. But we see as well the loneliness, rigid social rules, and loveless, arranged marriages that constricted these women's lives. Proust, as a twenty-year-old law student in 1892, would worship them from afar, and later meet them and create his celebrated composite character for The Remembrance of Things Past.

True Female Nature is everywhere; it is all around us. You can see it when you look at the television or when you look out your window. You can feel True Female Nature when you go to work or when you go to the store. Do not be a slave to True Female Nature! *Is there something about women that you always wanted to know, but could never figure out? *Are you struggling with relationships with the women in your life?*Are you being taken advantage of by women in the dating market?*How can you leverage the "dating game" to your favor?To answer these questions, men need to have an "abundance" mindset that is self-aware, that is knowledgeable, and a mindset that wants a purposeful life. "Hack Her: True Female Nature 101" is an introductory course describing female nature, at a novice level. The purpose of "Hack Her" is to help men gain a better understanding of women, as far as the "logic" behind their (female) thinking. Women are not angels; they lie, they cheat, they steal, just like everyone else. The only difference is that women use their "sexual bait" to mask their deceitful strategies. The title "Hack Her" is wordplay on the term "hacker". The female mind is uncharted like the Dark Web of the internet; people know little to nothing about the modern female psyche. Men who are aware of this "Dark Web" (the mind of a woman) are called "Coders" because they have the cheat "codes" to manipulate female nature to their will. "Coders" understand that with great power comes even greater responsibility! "Hack Her: True Female Nature 101" is a book written to help men see life from the point of view of the average woman that has a Westernized mindset. This book does not just describe the women that men date; the women described in this book also include the men's own mother, their own sisters, their own aunts, their own daughters, etc. Men of today can use "Hack Her: True Female Nature 101" as a device to decrypt, or hack, the "Dark Web" of the female mind. Becoming a "Coder" will help prevent men from "going their own way". This book will give men the tools that they need to be in control of their own emotions, while in romantic relationships with women. "Hack Her" breakdowns the persona of women and gives men a better understanding of why (mentally) women do what they do (i.e. sex, money, dating). "Hack Her" can also help women understand other women. Often times, women comprehend other women by the examples of the females in their own personal lives; a mere anecdotal representation of True Female Nature. The male and female gender can use this book to repair relationships amongst each other, which can rebuild family structures, therefore reconstructing communities built on a foundation of healthy (marital) relationships. Once men have a deeper understanding of True Female Nature, only then can men appreciate women for who they truly are; the primary caretakers of the pediatric (children) and the geriatric (elderly) population in every country. Men around the world need to recognize that True Female Nature is nothing to be afraid of because it is neither good nor bad; it just is what it is. This is your Last Chance to change your life; after this, there is no turning back. You can choose not to read "Hack Her: True Female Nature 101" and remain the same ignorant, beta male that believes whatever it is that you believe. Or, you can get your hands on "Hack Her: True Female Nature 101" to learn how deceptive and how manipulative the female psyche is. All this book is offering is the truth, nothing more. Point out the lie!Do you want to know what True Female Nature is?
