What A Woman Does Not Want

"She was not waiting for the version of you that you rehearsed. She was waiting for the one you kept to yourself." You had a move. A quality you led with. Something that worked until it didn't. >She could tell the difference. She always could. What a Woman "Does" Not Want is a direct, honest, and at times uncomfortable examination of the gap between the man most men perform in relationships and the man most women are actually hoping to find. Drawing on real dynamics across African, American, Caribbean, Hispanic, and Asian cultures, author Oluwatobi Atiba maps the performances men inherit, the lies culture hands them about women, and what a full, unperformed presence in a relationship actually looks like. >The act had its run. This book is about what comes after.
