At a time when cynicism toward romance is at an all-time high, Gatekeeper offers a counterintuitive message of hope for men: raise your standards.

Gatekeeper is the roadmap for any man starting out, starting over, or simply looking to improve his relationships with women. If commitment is our greatest investment, then our relationships should be among our most powerful assets.
