Summary: Real Help for Real Girls
Review: I am a young wife and wish I had this book before I married! I read Helen Andelin's sequel to this book, Fascinating Womanhood, which focuses more on wives, and after 6 years of a rocky and dissatisfying marriage, within a week my husband and I went from not speaking to laughing together and loving each other's company! If you are attracted to REAL men then you need this book! Other reviewers may criticize this book but those poor women are on a power trip and need to hold every man (...)in order to feel the world is safe. Helen Andelin and I feel that there is another way, a blissful way to achieve harmony with the opposite sex: UNDERSTANDING MEN and complementing their masculinity! I have often admired women who seemed adored by men (the few there be that I knew!) and sought out all kinds of books that extol the virtues of femininity but after reading them found that when it comes down to the nitty gritty there was no actual direction or specifics to begin creating this new femininity! I came to feel that while most red blooded American girls want to be fascinatingly feminine none of us have got a clue what that even means! Our culture has moved so far away from femininity that men have even become confused as to what it means to be masculine! They swing to extremes to try to feel fulfilled and accepted but end up just as confused and miserable as we women have made ourselves! Marriages split not just once but over and over regardless of religious, social, or economical backgrounds. The author here offers an alternative to the current trends in attracting men. Instead of getting implants or a nose job or showing off as much skin as you can legally get away with she focuses on what makes a woman fascinatingly feminine from the way we walk to how we respond to hurtful remarks. If you want a man to listen when you talk, think you're cute when you're mad, and adore the person that you are then this book will be your best friend! It is a classic with fifty's clothing and hair styles but modernize it a little and it's timeless!

Summary: Obsolete... hopefully
Review: I found an old copy of this in a thrift store and was so intrigued I bought it. Possibly my biggest waste of a dollar yet! Now I'm just glad I did buy it because it will keep some other poor sap from reading it and taking it as the gospel truth. Granted this was written many, MANY years ago when things were very different, but this book is absolute drivel. Basically it tells women that they are useless without a husband and a family to raise, and teaches women how to be subservient and act weak. Gag! Recommended reading only if you are in serious need of either: a) a laugh, or b), a brain transplant.

Summary: Tired of kissing toads?
Review: They say you have to kiss a lot of toads before you find Mr. Right. But that's not true. Not if you read The Fascinating Girl, by Helen Andelin.

The Fascinating Girl tells you how to attract good men, pick the best one for you, and make him want to marry you. So what if it seems old-fashioned? It works.

It's the best book ever written on the subject, better even than The Rules, which only scratches the surface. Even if you follow just half of the advice in this book, you'll have men falling at your feet.

You owe it to yourself to draw on the wisdom in this book. It's also a wonderful gift for a beloved daughter, granddaughter or friend.

Summary: Key to Being a Woman Men Will Seek
Review: This book really gives the dignity of femininity back to girls/women. It show girls how to be ladies and truly the kind of girl a man will seek to take for his own. It opens the door for girls/women of all ages to become "Angela Human". Angela represents our Angelic qualities, Human represents the Human qualities and when combined these qualities create a fascinating woman that men can't help but love. It also teaches us how to find true happiness in everyday life.

In my own experience, I started using the techniques in the book and it not only improved how I related to men in general, it improved how I related to my own family members and friends. This book is essential for girls/women especially in today's society when the parents are not so involved in the selection of the daughter's life long mate. Girls can use that which comes naturally to them, with just a little bit of formation and find their soul mate and companion for life and know how to keep him.

This book is a MUST HAVE. I encourage you to take advantage of the priceless wisdom in this book. Hopefully, it will come back to print soon.

Summary: The Ultimate Relationship Book
Review: This books is Mars and Venus, The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, The Rules for Marriage, and Flylady (an organization book) all rolled into one. It encompasses all the effective relationship advice out there, in one neat little package. It tells you how to speak up in a marriage and when not to, how to make your man happy and how to make yourself happy, how to keep an organized home and life, how to make a marriage last forever, etc.

If you like John Gray, if you like Dr Laura, if you like organization or time management books, this is a great book (and the only one you need).
