Summary: Stop and ...
Review: Stop Getting Dumped! May have some controversial advice, but many things a litle are hard to believe it what I was reading. This is how you get a man to marry you? Plus, never once in the book does she mention how or where to meet eligible men yet she tell you that you should be dating 3 men at the same time.
Also recommended: Sex and the perfect lover by Mabel Iam, the best sex book.

Summary: Smart Ideas + Sound Advice + Fun Read= A Great Book!
Review: As a fellow relationship/self-help author I'm always curious what my colleagues are writing about in our unique genre of books. When I first saw this book I thought, "here's a book that the feminists are going to hate....a book about desperate women who have to have a man in order to feel happy and fulfilled."But I was wrong. Here's a book that rightfully (surprisingly based on the book title...but remember not to judge a book by its cover!) teaches enlightened women to take care of themselves, enjoy their relationships, and live the life they've imagined whether it's with a man or not. It's about feminine empowerment and there's nothing that is more feminist than that. As a guy I realize that this book has a certain "girlfriend-to-girlfriend" tone and humor to it. But after all nearly 80% of all self-help books are purchased by women. This book is one that almost all women I'm sure will enjoy and find funny at times. The core of this book is the concept of the "Dream Girl." Lisa Daily has made a major contribution in helping to redefine what a "Dream Girl" is not only for women, but for men as well. I guess she would say that it's about being a "kick-... chick" who's got it together and makes her life really happen in a lot of ways. And as a guy, I think she's right. More traditional guys like myself really want someone we respect, admire, adore, cherish, and value who is smart, sexy, funny, feminine, and in many ways, fearless. I think women readers will find this book very inspirational in a modern "Sex and the City" kind of way. With the pointers in this book a women can have a fantastic job, spend a day each week helping out at a soup kitchen, have a sparkling clean apartment, have the right shoes for any occasion, and also attract the man of her dreams. I'm happy to see that Lisa is teaching women to appreciate the "good guys" who do the traditional respectful things for those he loves and cherishes. We see eye-to-eye on most everything (although we say it in totally different voices and ways) and nowhere are we more aligned than the concept of intelligently separating the men from the boys. For women in search of a great life as well as to attract a great guy as a husband for lifetime passion and intimacy, here's a truly enjoyable book that stands out in our relationship/self-help field. I give this book my highest rating with a big smile.

Summary: delivers the goods!
Review: As a now un-single woman who has read The Rules, I found this book much more helpful, empowering - and fun to do. There are no sermons here, just no-nonsense, hip advice for the single girl who needs to either brush up on her game, or scrap her old one which isn't working. This is a quick, fun read, and appropriately so. Everything you need to know is here, and the economic and humorous style is right along with the tone you want to have in your dating life: don't overanalyze, just have fun, do only what you need to do and don't worry (or make exuses) about the rest.
Intelligent, hip strategies that WORK. Read it and follow the advice if you're truly serious about graduating from the single's pool - and not landing back there anytime soon.

Summary: Shallow, Amateurish, and Incomplete!!!
Review: As a single female looking for "The Man" and wondering how to make him fall in love with me, I found this book lacking in alot of important details, contradictory at times, and in some cases dead wrong. Example- Lisa Daily's 'Stop Getting Dumped' strategy explains how it's important to always be dating three men at a time; "a pair and a spare". I live in the same town she does, and I don't know where she's finding all these men to date, but never in my life have I had an occasion where three men I was interested in had asked me out on a date over a period of more than several years!!! So, to me, the important detail lacking in that strategy was where in heaven's name does one meet all of these quality men???? I'm dying to know! Take it from me, where to meet men is not mentioned once in this book. Lisa Daily contradicts herself in that she explains how important it is to live a healthy lifestyle which includes a regular work out schedule. She goes on to constantly refer to pigging out on a gallon of ice cream or other indulgences when a relationship goes wrong. Hmmm, as a female who maintains a healthy lifestyle, I've found getting a good work out in is a far better way to get over disappointment in a relationship than eating my way to oblivion, and I feel better about myself afterwards, too! A key part of Lisa Daily's 'Stopped Getting Dumped' strategy is to include a massage, manicure, or other salon or spa type service in your life each week. She explains that this isn't costly, and that the way to keep the cost of these treats in check is to utilize beauty and massage schools, where costs are less. She says a person can get a massage at a school for $10. I was surprised to hear massages were so inexpensive, even at massage schools, so I called around and checked prices. In Minneapolis, home of Lisa Daily, the least expensive massage I found was $32. Considering the 'Stop Getting Dumped' book was published 4 weeks ago, I certainly would have expected more up-to-date cost information! So, to me, Lisa Daily didn't do her homework before she made this key 'Stop Getting Dumped' recommendation and went to to remind readers at least twice that beauty/massage school services are inexpensive. I do have one good thing to say about the book, it makes a good coaster, and that's what I'm using it for now. Myself, I have found John Gray's, 'Mars and Venus on a Date' a much more comprehensive guide for dating. When I remember to do the things he talks about when dating, they really work!!

Summary: Or: Losers Guide to Manipulating Jerks
Review: Haha, it's just amazing how women have made an industry out of the weird tricks that are necessary when dating lying, cheating jerks who use them and dump them. I'll tell you the real deal for free: 1 - Men are not into monogamy until they've sowed the oats. I don't care how cute that 25 year old boy is in his new car, he will do you and dump you, that's what we do at that age. If you just want to get laid, fine, otherwise find a grown up man. 2 - These books are self-perpetuating; acting like this will make a kind, decent, intelligent man run for his life, because we don't want to make it a game full of lies and manipulation. Don't return calls? Pretend total disinterest? A polite, respectful man will respond by writing you off as disinterested and will not want to harass you. Then guess what you're left with? The kind of guy you need to manipulate and lie to. Enjoy. 3 - Playing games with sex. Losing battle, ladies. If a man's truly in love with you you're just lowering something sacred to the level of currency; if he's not, he can certainly find someone easier to get what he wants from.

Summary: Advice to catch a game player
Review: Her main advice is don't call a man...I understand that men like a little chase, but if you want to continue to play games and/or show a man that you are uninterested (by not calling him back), then buy this book. Her advice is dated.

Summary: Don't waste your money....
Review: I am actually embarresed that I read this book. After reading all the great reviews it got, I thought I couldnt go wrong. It sounded so good!! First of all, Lisa's advice about not returning a man's call is just plain rudeness. I could not believe what I was reading. This is how you get a man to marry you? Plus, never once in the book does she mention how or where to meet eligible men yet she tell you that you should be dating 3 men at the same time. All in all, it is just a ridiculous book and will definately insult your intelligence. I recommend NOT buying it.
