Could
not
put

down

I picked
up
THE
JOY
OF
LETTING
WOMEN
DOWN
after
a fourteen-hour
day
of
exhaustive
vacationing
and
could
not
put
it
down
until
the
last
laugh
on
the
last
page.
We
all
know
a good
cartoonist
not
only
puts
us
in
stitches
but
also
provides
insights
into
our
behavior
on
par
with
the
best
philosophers.
Natalie
d'Arbeloff's
cartoons
and
ironic
comments
about
women
and
men
are
the
funniest
I have
read
in
a decade.
"Do
you
still
cling
to
that
old
myth
about
the
male
of
the
species
being
randier
than
the
female?
If
so
wake
up
to
the
truth:
Women
are
not
only
randier
than
men
but
female
lust,
when
directed
at
a WM
(Worshipped
Man)
is
far
more
intense
and
long-
lasting
than
the
male's."
Want
to
know
how
to
be
a worshipped
male
with
randy
women
waiting
in
line?
Want
to
avoid
such
men?
This
tongue-in-cheek,
devastatingly
wicked
and
accurate
manual
on
how
to
develop
worshipable
sex
appeal,
will
provide
every
male
(even
the
most
machismo-deficient)
with
new
insights
on
how
to
attract
women
who
love
to
worship
men.
And
it
just
might
help
women
avoid
the
type
before
it
is
too
late.
This
is
must
reading
for
any
male
longing
to
be
worshipped...
By
giving
away
the
secret
techniques
of
the
Worshipped
Male,
d'Arbeloff
provides
the
necessary
tools
for
any
woman
(or
man)
to
avoid
falling
under
his
spell.
"Womanizer,
philanderer,
adulterer,
libertine,
rake,
roué,
lecher,
bed-hopper,
fornicator,
profligate,
lady
killer.
According
to
rumour,
the
above
are
a dying
species
if
not
actually
extinct.
No
self-respecting
woman
wants
to
be
seen
dead
with
one
of
these
dinosaurs
of
a by-gone
phallocentric
ages".
Really?
So
why
is
the
Womanizer
never
short
of
willing
women?
Why
does
the
Adulterer
make
whoopee
with
adulteresses,
the
Philander
with
the
Philanderines
and
the
Rake
with
rakettes?
A
deeply
shocking
exposé

How
is
magic
supposed
to
operate
if
people
insist
in
trying
to
hold
a candle
to
it?
So
much
for
our
trade
and
mystery.
Would
that
we
were
free
from
the
tyranny
of
those
who
are
in
thrall
to
us!
A
fun
and
insightful
read

I liked
this
book
not
only
because
it
made
me
laugh,
but
because
it
encouraged
me
to
reexamine
some
of
my
ideas
about
men
and
women,
about
sexual
stereotypes,
and
why
smart
women
often
end
up
with
the
wrong
men.
The
wiles
and
ways
of
the
worshipable
male
are
described
in
prose
both
witty
and
engaging,
but
Ms
d'Arbeloff
completely
wins
me
over
with
some
of
the
most
delightful
and
ballsy
cartoons
i've
seen
in
a long
time.
Definitely
a fun
read
with
a bit
more
of
an
edge.
Devastatingly
insightful,
accurate
and
funny

London,

A rather
misleading
cover
makes
this
book
appear
to
be
on
the
same
level
as
the
innumerable
joke-books
littering
the
humour
shelves.
In
fact,
it
is
in
a class
of
its
own
- a
sophisticated,
hard-hitting,
tongue-in-cheek
analysis
of
the
male
species
'Womaniser'
or
as
the
author
prefers
to
call
him
'Worshipped
Male'.
Written
as
a mock
self-help
manual
for
such
a man,
it
reveals
all
his
closely
guarded
secrets
- the
tricks
and
techniques
by
which
he
keeps
the
women
addicted
to
him.
Every
page
is
illustrated
with
subtle
cartoons
(also
by
Natalie
d'Arbeloff)
creating
a character
that
is
both
appealing
and
pathetic.
There
is
more
psychological
truth
in
this
small,
compact
book
than
in
many
heavy
tomes
dealing
with
the
subject
of
why
women
fall
for
the
'wrong
man',
what
kind
of
man
this
'wrong
man'
is,
and
why
he
is
so
appealing
in
spite
of
his
unreliability
and
infidelity.
Every
woman
who
is
or
has
ever
been
involved
with
him
should
read
this
book,
as
well
as
every
man
who
is
a Worshipped
Male,
or
wishes
he
were!
