About
So, what is Manslations all about, in a nutshell?
I, Jeff Mac, answer questions from women, trying to show women how to understand men because honestly, it just shouldn’t be that hard. And if you want authority, well, he’s written a book about it, don’t you know. (In bookstores NOW, if you must know!)
Ok, what about OUT of a nutshell? Why should I keep coming back here, day after day, forever and ever?
Well, you don’t have to make it sound like such a friggin’ chore, ok?
You should keep on coming back because every weekday, I’m answering questions from women just like you. My goal here is to give you invaluable information about how to tell the difference between:
- what men are thinking, and
- what women THINK we’re thinking.
You’ll be surprised how little you know. Even men will be surprised. If your dog reads this website, HE will be surprised. Or she. Now, I probably won’t be surprised because, I mean, I’m writing the thing. Then again, I make a lot of this stuff up, so who knows? Either way, trust me — it’s going to be pretty shocking.
It’s like one of those TV specials where masked magicians reveal how magic tricks are done. Except the “magic tricks” will be boneheaded things that men do/say/think. Oh, and unlike those shows, this will actually be entertaining for you. And useful. And the humor will be intentional. And it won’t involve any of us having to deal with magicians. (You’re welcome.) That’s, like, ten ways that this is better than those magic show things. And that’s just off the top of my head.
Now, how can you claim to be able to interpret all male behavior? Aren’t all men different?
Actually, it’s not necessary to “interpret” male behavior at all. It would be like putting out an elegant place setting with fine china and eleven forks to eat a donut.
Do you like corn?
Yes. Yes, I do.

Hey Jeff! The latest post is partial (asking questions/but won’t answer)…I can’t see your reply…unless you are leaving it to us to draw our own Manslation conclusions? Won’t that put you out of work and create chaos for all us chicks? Or is this an exam?

Dear Ms. Pauline,
Ouch!
Also, honesty often is closer to a sort of kindness than to a sort of brutality, and that’s why Dear JM’s honesty healed.
…Humor was his perennial Treat!
Dear JM, Your homeroom sparkles. Cheers in Stealth,,,2UBoth!

Jeff,
I just read your book, “Manslations”, and the only complaint I have is that you didn’t publish it 20 years ago. You would have spared me much heartache, grief, and overthinking! I totally get it now, and am forever grateful. Good luck to you and everything you do.

I read an extract from your book “Manslations” and had a little moment. About two minutes later I bought the whole thing and I’m so excited to read it and tell everyone I know about it. Thank you for writing down everything my partner can’t put in to words. I used to think I was really good at understanding men and I thought I was a pretty good girlfriend but I was only looking at half of the picture. Now I actually know where I go wrong. Thanks so much keep up the good work.

I am half way through your book now and it is hilarious. I can’t read it in public because people look at you funny when your cracking up laughing by yourself.
Some parts to me are so obvious but then you read things and have an OMG moment because you realise you do that!
I have read parts to my partner who thought I was an idiot for buying a self help book but after hearing how you write and the infomation you give he asked if I could PLEASE give a copy to his sister and mum.

Dear Ms. Penney,
Please…be not shy: Ask any question!
Perhaps…some other visiting reader will have been in similar situation and will offer some free feedback.
Ya know…sometimes when a tree falls in the forest, there IS sound–moans, groans, even humming!
Godspeed Happy Trails w/few trials!

Yep, also getting a 404 when trying to get to the page to ask a question. What is a girl to do. Dating at 30 is so confusing!
