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 a5
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.

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.

They never seem to have enough memory.

We need a manual to figure them out,

Why is it hard for women to
find men who are sensitive,

Because those men already have
boyfriends.

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

need someone to bring me soup and take

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.

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.
