About
The Book
"Since most gays spent their formative years
watching their female friends date, by 18
we’re experts at giving advice. Schwartz
has gathered the best of yesterday’s
wallflowers, including Carmella Cann and
Kevin Aviance, to educate our straight
sisters with humor and sensitivity."
– HX magazine
Daylle
interviewed 33 fabulous gay guys to give women
advice on dating, romance, sex and becoming an
autonomous woman, with or without a man for
her newest book, Straight Talk With Gay Guys: What
Girlfriends Can’t Tell You & Straight
Men Won’t. The book is a good example of
why gay guys can be straight chick magnets.
Some
women turn to their girlfriends when they have
problems with men. Some turn to food. Daylle
turned to her gay guy friends to straighten
her out. In Straight
Talk she brings to women the kind of
direct and insightful advice from gay men
that now empowers her.
Straight
Talk With Gay Guys gives you the real deal on
how and why men think and act as they do.
Featuring constructive advice from experts on
masculine behavior—33 smart, hilarious,
observant, and caring gay men who are also
corporate executives, journalists, musicians,
hairstylists and a variety of other
professions—this empowering guide offers the
most insightful relationship advice you’ve
ever had.
•
Hone skills for avoiding sexual mishaps and
being manipulated into bed
• Learn how to translate
“manspeak”

men away
