Summary: not grayk's best...
Review: but still a worthwhile read, whether you're single or in a relationship . . . you'll at least get some ideas here.

Summary: Great for any single person to read!
Review: I wondered what I kept doing wrong in relationships, and when I read this book, it all made sense. John Gray divides dating (relationships) into steps. I had been skipping a couple of the steps and heading straight for the last one. I have read this book at least twice all the way through and go back on occasion for a refresher course.

Summary: Very informative and practical reading
Review: This book is a no nonsense,down to earth breath of fresh air.It contains proven ideas, and not just "Ideas" from "Helpful" friends that don't work.Yes,you will find some generalizations,but you will be warned about it before hand.I would highly recomend it

Summary: Yuck!
Review: Stay away from this one! I read the whole thing, including the 101 suggestions mentioned by an earlier reviewer. I considered a few of his suggestions to be common sensical, but they were unfortunately few and far between. Primarily, he promotes tired sex-role stereotypes and preachy, opinionated pop-psychology. IMHO he creates more problems than he solves, suggesting that you present a fairly artificial side of yourself until the person you've attracted has committed to you for life. Following his formulae are sure to leave both you and your partner bewildered later, as the true nature which you withheld from each other emerges.

Summary: Moronic
Review: Whatever credibility John Gray had is shot with his inclusion of a list of 101 places to meet your soulmate. I thumbed through the book at a co-worker's desk and couldn't believe what I was reading. (Neither could she.)Most of the suggestions are so preposterous that I could read them verbatim at Open Mike Night at a comedy club and bring the house down. Some gems with my comments in brackets: "If you're a woman in a restaurant, go to the rest room repeatedly so you can catch the eye of men." [And hope that a convention of urologists is in town?] "If you wear a uniform, wear it when you're off duty because people will approach someone in a uniform." [I'm sure the meter reader from the local utility company is besieged with offers in between houses.] "If you don't attend a church or synagogue, go to the one where there are the most eligible people." [Hey, who's got the best babes, the synagogue or the Episcopalian church?] "If you don't like a museum, go to one and ask an art lover questions." [Allow me to display my total ignorance and annoy you. Two surefire ways to get you to spend the rest of your life with me.] Finally my favorite of the list I've read so far: "If you go to a bar and drink alcohol, go to a place where they don't serve alcohol. Your soulmate might not drink." [As opposed to 'If you don't do crack, go to a crackhouse because your soulmate might be a crackhead.'] I wish I were making these up, but I'm simply not that clever.

Summary: Is this book REALLY for singles???
Review: Gotta be honest here guys, this book didn't do much for me. I bought the book with the expectation that it would help me in my quest to FIND that special lady I'm missing. Instead, he primarily focused on what to do and how to act AFTER you've found someone to date. Though his words were helpful, I can't use them at this stage of the game. Maybe if he would have stressed what women are attracted to a little more instead of how women should act around men it would be different. That's great that "Men like a woman with a smile." Well, what do women like? He spent very little time on that subject. I was hoping to see more writen about initial attraction, and HOW to approach women...not WHERE to find them. "It just happens" doesn't sit well with me. On the back of his book there is a statement that reads "You don't have to be single forever..." Well, this book doesn't really support that statement. Very good book, but I think I'll w! ait 'till I find someone before I look at it again.

Summary: Learn to Trust Your Instincts
Review: I was very, very disappointed with this book-on-tape, after having read "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" (which I'd give 5 stars). Gray seems to be saying that men and women should pretend or act differently from what their gut tells them about themselves. The switch from promoting UNDERSTANDING of the "other sex" to giving advice on TRYING TO BE OTHER THAN WHO YOU ARE is not the direction I would have expected.
Rating:
Summary: Very insightful information about dating.
Review: Mars and Venus on a Date.... I thought it was all in my head until I read this book. Alot of this book brings to light the different ways that men and women approach dating and each stage of a relationship. I felt very enlightened. It really made me stop & think about my approach to dating, and I think that it helped me revise my view of relationships as a whole. I especially enjoyed the section titled "Why He Doesn't Call." If you are single, just entering a relationship, or are in a long-term dating relationship, I highly recommend this book. Great for women *and* men!

Summary: 5 stages worth learning
Review: I believe Dr. Gray wants people to better understand the differences between men and women, how we react to situations differently and how to accept these differences. Take from this book what you like and discard what you find not applicable to your situation. Gray uses many generalizations that I did not agree with but I still found the book worth reading.
Rating:
Summary: Life-changing and eye-opening.
Review: Although a few of Gray's examples and hypotheticals are so silly that they actually detract from the book's credibility, the principles Gray outlines are right on target, and most of his examples help illustrate 1) why past relationships may have failed and what was going on in the minds of those partners, and 2) how readers can apply the principles in their own lives to be better partners to people they're dating now or will date in the future. Most of Gray's books focus on how to improve current relationships and marriages. The principles in this book certainly can improve current relationships, but they also can improve readers' chances of finding good relationships in the first place. Gray essentially outlines the principles of courtship. This is not just worldly wisdom about how to get the most out of someone you're dating. This book is about how to transform yourself into a better partner (which in turn can make you more attractive to the opposite sex, a commonly-announced but rarely-achieved goal of many books about relationships).
