Patrick Price Surpasses All His Contemporaries
|
|
At last, a book on gay relationships that does not insult its audience with advice on tricking and bathhouse ettiquette. At last, a book on gay relationships with a sense of humor. Only Betty Berzon's "Permanent Partners" comes close in the field. Mr. Price writes with a sense of humor that makes us laugh and cringe at our past mistakes. He also writes with a common sense point of view that lets the reader know he is as serious about finding the love of his life as he hopes that reader is. He strongly discourages sex on the first date, he asks the reader to examine himself, and he admonishes anyone so shallow as to make life altering decisions based on an outfit. His writing is extremely readable, looks to the future instead of instant gratification, and is immediately encouraging. Yes, it is somewhat light reading, but there is a heart of gold behind the words and a genuine wealth of knowledge that we know, but seem to constantly ignore when we step outside our front doors.

This book is a perfect how-to-guide to the dizzy world of gay dating. I thought I knew everything about the subject. I didn't. In fact, I didn't really even have a clue. This will be the perfect Christmas gift for my single friends and even some couples who have a thing or two to learn. Bravo!

The first thing that attracted me to the book was the back cover. I was browsing in the book store and saw HHME face down. It was interesting to see two men arm and arm, so it was picked up and skimmed through. "Husband Hunting" is very specific as to what a guy should be looking for when he's out searching for that significant other. Price writes the book using humor(the first words of the book explain how with three sons, his mother would never have expected a son-in-law) and incorporating past experiences, both good and bad. HHME takes the single gay man by the hand and guides him step by step through the journey for "Mr. Right". Although I'm not ready to start looking for a life partner(18), I know that I will reread this book when the time arrives. This is the "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" for the modern gay man.

Not having had any long-term relationships since coming out, I find HHME to have a lot of good advice. I appreciated the way it gave advice, but in a humorus way. It is not like other "self help" books I have seen that are so boring, you don't get halfway through them. I picked the book up in San Francisco while there with my now ex-boyfriend. He saw the book, pointed it out saying "maybe you should read this", I did and it really helped point things out that were both good and bad about our relationship. I highly recommend this book to anyone who doesn't know the warning signs of a bad relationship are. I was also impressed with the fact that Patrick Price, the author, actually responded to my e-mail the next day.
