Summary: Girlfriends, BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!
Review: This book, once I finished reading it the first time, now has a very special place in my bathroom. This is not a reflection of the content in a NEGATIVE way. It is there because I use it as a reference, and what better place to do some good, quality reading?!? I refresh my memory before going out to a social event.This book hits the nail on the head. My most valued lesson is about going to places to meet men. The book says to be happy - smile, make men want to be around you. Men don't women who have problems, or complain a lot. They want a girl who is positive, and will be fun. When I go out, I laugh, smile, talk to people, and am usually the one with the most men around me. It's like a magnet!!! The other valuable pieces of information provided in this book are too numerous to mention. BUT THEY ARE TRUE, so buy this book. It will soon become your favorite reference book, too.

Summary: Double Standard
Review: Well from reading your book it sure pays to be a man. The double standard is pervasive. This book should be entitled "You are Not Allowed to Date like a Man if You Ever Want to Get One." It's ok and expected for men to have casual sex - women have to wait four months. It's ok for a guy to call relentlessly, but women have to play the unavailable game. It's ok for a guy to do just about anything he wants to while women have to learn all these stupid rules. Get real! Playing by all your rigid first, second and third date rules sucks all the fun out of going out. It's not fair that you expect women to walk the straight and narrow line but admit that men can be wild fun seekers. Your book is one contradiction after another.

Summary: Funny, light and still solid
Review: When Ford came out with a certain new model in Europe, the guy that had first visualized the look of it - which finally resulted in a whole new concept of the models that later appeared on the market - said he had achieved everything with it, because people will either LOVE it or HATE it, but EVERYONE has an opinion about it. Reading the reviews of Ms. Moore's book reminded me of that story.
It seems like readers have very extreme views about what she has to say - much like it was with the Mars-Venus series as well as The Rules. So whether she is right or wrong, she definitely has something important to say, because it obviously stirred some pretty extreme emotions.
After the first couple of chapters, I thought I'd made a mistake. At one point she hailed feminists (who I think are about as bad as abusive men) and she kept calling me (the reader) baby, girlfriend and honey, which I first found pretty annoying. But then I realized she was far from being feminist and she just called me nicknames because that's just the way she is; I'm sure she is doing that all the time at her private sessions as well.
Yes, there WERE some stereotypes there (no, I neither think a man will only wear cologne when he's out "hunting"), but the useful and solid pieces of advice the book is filled with AND the amazing sense of humor she has finally made me not wanna put the book down until I reach the very last words. I thought she had gotten SLIGHTLY carried away at the sex part (and she didn't quite convince me I was open-minded enough only if I paid a stripper for my man only to later have hot sex with him), but she does have some very witty opinions there as well.
But these are all just details the reader should not overanalyze. I think the main message of the whole book is to take the whole dating game much more easily than we, women tend to. She keeps stating it's NOT the end of the world when your date (or ONE of your dates) doesn't quite turn out to be marriage material. She puts great emphasis on inner work, physical and mental protection and self-esteem, which you all have to admit are the foundation stones of a healthy relationship.
Overall it's a funny, happy kind of book full of advice MOST of which I strongly believe truly work in this world of ours.

Summary: Hey girls! Even a guy can get this book.
Review: Yes, I admit, my wife reads these relationship books now and then. I'm not sure if she leaves them lying around intentionally or not. I usually don't snoop. I did this time. I stayed up for hours reading. Then the next day I stole it and took it to work. I thought I'd read it during lunch. Nope. The day was filed with me taking time to read instead of the stuff I should have done. Okay, so after a week of my wife wondering where she must have misplaced the book, I dropped it behind the bed, against the wall. She was happy to have found it. Not as happy as I am for reading it, though. Very good. Insightful. I bought another book that I left around for her caled "Drivetime: Finding a Way Home." It is the mans percpective on love. Thanks for the great read.
