MEET A COUPLE OF KEEPERS: The boyfriend who used $4,800 in vacation savings toward an operation for his girlfriend's dog. The clueless sweetheart who tried to impress his new girlfriend by preparing an oven-cooked dinner...in Tupperware. MEET A COUPLE OF LOSERS: The guy who could only communicate his most intimate feelings through a shark puppet. The "Amtrak gigolo" who had a different girlfriend in every city along the East Coast...until a few of the ladies started comparing notes. They're funny, heartwarming, outlandish, and sometimes horrifying. And they're all true! Here are nearly 200 first-hand accounts from women of all ages who let you in on the sweetest, most embarrassing, intimate, unforgivable, and heartfelt moments from their perfect marriages, rotten relationships, unforgettable first dates, and dreadful final ones. Let their men serve as a warning-or a good example-for the keeper or loser in all our lives!
