To all the men disguised as princes who turned out to be frogs.

Thanks for making this book possible.

We hope you make us rich enough to forget you!

Foreword

I have no doubt that Divine Providence brought us together.

When Maria and I first met at a business briefing in January

1997, at the home of my former sister-in-law, somehow I just

knew we shared a common denominator.

First impressions definitely are lasting ones. Maria and I soon

became the best of friends and traveled together often on busi-

ness. What a formidable team we were—she, the “Beautiful
Brunette” and I, the “Blonde Bombshell.” Ha!

It was on one of our journeys to Detroit that the idea for this

book was born. We had exchanged stories of our own, along

with stories we had heard from our girlfriends, of some frustrat-

ing and disappointing behaviors and other strange quirks of men

we had all either dated, married or divorced. It seemed as

though our friends had experienced many of the same trials and

tribulations that we had.

In the middle of rush-hour traffic on Interstate 75, I said, “You

know, Maria, we should write a book.” I quickly glanced her way

and could already see the wheels spinning in her head. “Let’s do

it!” she said.

To our amazement and delight, the book evolved from a few

short quips and anecdotal excerpts into the finished product you

are now holding in your hands. Through synchronicity and at the

suggestion of a dear friend, we connected with our editor, Katina

Jones of Chance Press, and our printer, upublish.com. Katina took

disenchanted layout 2–29–00 7:31 AM Page a4

the notes of our book from an embryonic idea into organized,

polished, humorous reality. She quickly embraced the tongue-in-

cheek, wry humor that prevails throughout this book, recognizing

the “girlfriend-to-girlfriend” bond and support this book offers.

We were ecstatic! Finally, Disenchanted Evenings (which is the flip

side of “Some Enchanted Evening,” to be sure) was born. We are

delighted to share the dating and mating disasters that naturally

occur when you’ve accidentally chosen a frog and not a prince.

We would especially like to acknowledge and thank our friends

for their input and loving support of this project. Without your

disaster stories, jokes, tips and anecdotes, this survival guide

would not have been possible.

I suppose we should also acknowledge the would-be princes

we’ve known to be frogs at heart. It is because of your antics and

unbelievable behavior that this book even entered our minds.

Finally, we hope that as you read the following pages that you

come to the same realization that we did: Men truly are from

Mars. May the essence of our Sisterhood serve to sustain us all

as we experience our wild ride on this beautiful, otherwise

serene planet of Venus.

Men are like fine wine. They

start out as grapes, and it’s

our job to stomp them and

keep them in the dark until

they mature.

If we’re lucky, they’ll turn into

something we’d like to have

dinner with sometime.

This one’s an oldie, but a “goodie”:

A husband, proving to his wife that

women talk more than men do, showed

her a study that indicated that men use

on average only 15,000 words per day.

Women, he said, use 30,000 words a

day—proving that women talk more.

His wife thought about this for a while,

then explained the reason for the

difference.

“Women use twice as many words as

men because they have to constantly

repeat everything they say,” she said.

“What?” he said.

Men are like computers…

hard to figure out.

They never seem to have enough memory.

They also lose files and re-config constantly.

We need a manual to figure them out,

but usually even the manual doesn’t make

sense.

How is a man like a snowstorm?

You never know when he’s coming, how

many inches you’ll get or how long it

will last.

find men who are sensitive,

caring and good-looking?

Because those men already have

We have always known that men have

a private support group that helps

them stay, well…what they are. So, we

tracked down a “good old boys’ club”

meeting, and here’s what we heard the

men pledge:

“Because I’m a guy, I must hold the televi-

sion remote control in my hand while I’m

watching TV. If the thing has been mis-

placed, I’ll miss a whole show looking for

it—though I may be able to survive by

holding a calculator.”

“Because I’m a guy, when I lock my keys in

the car I will fiddle with a wire clothes

hanger and ignore my woman’s suggestions

that we call a road service until long after

hypothermia has set in. When the car isn’t

running well, I will pop the hood and stare

at the engine as if I know what I’m looking

at. If another guy shows up, one of us will

say to the other, ‘I used to be able to fix

these things, but now with all these com-

puters and everything, I wouldn’t know

where to start.’ We will then drink beer.”

“Because I’m a guy, when I catch a cold, or

believe in my mind that I am sick, I will

need someone to bring me soup and take

care of me while I lie in bed and moan.

A woman won’t get as sick as I do, so I

won’t return the favor and will, in fact,

ignore my woman’s need for attention

during her so-called illness or simply tell

her to ‘get over it.’”

“Because I’m a guy, I cannot be relied upon

to purchase basic groceries such as milk or

bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic

items like cumin or tofu. For all I know,

these things are one and the same. Also, I

will never, ever, under ANY circumstances

buy any feminine hygiene product for my

woman. It’s bad enough I have to live with

PMS.”

“Because I’m a guy, I am capable of

announcing, ‘One more beer and I really

have to go’ and mean it every time I say

it—even when one bar closes and my bud-

dies and I have to hunt down another one.

I will find it increasingly hilarious to have

my friends call you to tell you I’ll be home

soon. No, I won’t understand why you

threw my clothes in the front yard—what’s

the connection?”

Survival tip #1:

When you get up in the morning, do it

cautiously. The mood for the day is deter-

mined by the male in the house. If he

wakes up in a bad mood, step carefully.

Don’t forget that you aren’t permitted to

have mood swings yourself—these will

always lead to PMS-bashing.

Survival tip #2:

Always be understanding—but don’t

expect HIM to understand anything, espe-

cially if it pertains to anything, well, emo-

tional. Call your best girlfriend before he

attempts to “solve” your problem.

Survival tip #3:

Never confront a male about anything. This

will undoubtedly cause him to retreat into

his cave. However, should you need rest

and relaxation, a confrontation will do

the trick.

Survival tip #4:

Always carry extra singles when going to

the airport. Your male companion will

likely announce, once you’re there, that

he doesn’t know whether or not to tip

the porter—and he doesn’t have change,

anyway. Deal with it.

Survival tip #5:

Master the art of being able to see

through the refrigerator to be able to tell

whether your male companion has put the

milk carton back in empty. Chances are, he

has—for the fortieth time. Learn to do

this with the freezer as well—it’s a safe bet

the ice cube trays are empty, too.

Survival tip #7:

Remember to apologize in advance for

everything that may happen in the course

of the day—even though you will have

nothing to do with any of it. Chances are,

he’ll blame you anyway. It couldn’t possibly

be his fault.

Afterword

We hope you’ve enjoyed our special insights into the

world of men. In the interest of fairness to our male

friends, we are currently working on a sequel aimed

at women called “PMS Mornings.”

If you have stories, jokes or short anecdotes you’d

like to submit for this book, e-mail us at

barb@disenchantedevenings.com (Barb Ewing) or

maria@disenchantedevenings.com (Maria Sude) and

we’ll contact you if we’re interested.
