This book is an excellent resource for people who have feelings or might have feelings someday. International man of mysteries and also love Chuck Tingle will tell you like it is about dating the datable species, spells on you, and also how to tell if your neighbor is a snakeman. There are also invaluable advices like how to make spaghetti to bring on a date and unlocking the Bathroom Mystery. Chuck Tingle really does have the soul of books. I was completely absorbed for at least four hours between doing other things, and this book will live on my shelves in pride for as long as big shots don't get me down. Dr. Tingle is like if Dr. Ruth and Dr. Steve Brule had a baby and that baby was a secret-teller who knew about butts and some feelings. Also I like pickled okras does that make me a snakeman that part is unclear. Read on.

This is unprecedented one of the strangest, most poorly edited books I ever read. BUT it has its own strange brilliance and some of the weirdest porn I ever read. I absolutely recommend it. Read it aloud to your friends. Give it as a gift. Spread the weird romance advice.

Not nearly as good as his fiction: a lot of this felt forced, whereas his stories are ridiculous but fun.

a good introduction to the mythos of the tingle verse. humour quality varies but I laughed quite a bit in places. if discovering the differences between the 4 types of partner - unicorn, big foot, dinosaurs, living objects - sounds important to you its worth. a read

Another read based off a 'bet' for a guy friend to read book #3 of ACOTAR. This one was disappointing. The editing and grammar were horrible. His fiction books are way better! I feel like the "complete" is missing in the complete guide to romance

CHUCK TINGLE HAS DONE IT AGAIN!
Hit it right out of the park, theydies and gentlefish!
I had to cover my mouth to keep from laughing multiple times! And somewhere in there is some pretty good advice.

In this valuable text, Dr. Chuck Tingle provides a complete guide to romance, offering helpful tips to navigate a world where you date unicorns, bigfeet, dinosaurs, living objects, and maybe even other humans. Those familiar with the works of Chuck Tingle know what to expect, and those unfamiliar with his works will find helpful excerpts from such classics like "Pounded in the Butt by My Own Butt" and "Slammed Up the Butt by My Hot Coffee Boss." Here you will find startlingly good advice—have an honest conversation about deal breakers like religion—and startlingly bad advice—go to the bathroom five or six times an hour on a first date to retain a sense of mystery—side-by-side, leaving it up to you, the reader, to determine what, if anything, to take away from this book beyond general amusement and the occasional laugh. It's certainly good for a smile, and it will make you believe that love is real.

December 15, 2022What’s one key piece of information you think a reader should know before getting Dr. Chuck Tingle’s Complete Guide To Romance?
Erin: This is a humor book, but it has very different energy than the erotica books. And it also has a peculiar mix of really good advice and obviously terrible advice.
Holly: Also there’s a whole chapter of spells.
Ingrid: Oh yeah, that was so weird. This seems to be a stand alone Tingle book–it’s not necessarily like the other ones.
Who is the audience for this book?
Holly: My theory is that it’s for Tingle superfans as kind of a special collector’s edition kind of thing.
Erin: I agree. It seems geared to people who are already clued into what Chuck Tingle’s all about. It has excerpts from some of his stories. So maybe it could be a reader magnet.
Holly: I think when you say, “People who know what Chuck Tingle’s all about” it’s not just people who have read a few Tinglers, but people who are really interested in diving into the whole myth-making of who Chuck Tingle is—his background and persona.

Dr. Chuck Tingle first took the romance world by storm in 2014 with the release of the worldwide bestselling erotica short My Billionaire Triceratops Craves Gay Ass. This short soon lead to Dr. Tingle becoming the world’s premier writer of dinosaur, unicorn, cryptid, and living object erotica.
These days, Dr. Tingle is probably best known for the Hugo-nominated Space Raptor Butt Invasion, as well his poignant, up-to-the-minute takes on subjects such as pop culture, politics, economics, science, and gender and sexuality politics.
But there is one area of literature Dr. Tingle, who earned his PhD in holistic massage from DeVry University, has only just begun to dip his toes into: self-help. After the release of his first self-improvement effort Dr. Chuck Tingle’s Complete Guide to Romance, the question had to be asked: what can a holistic masseuse and Tae Kwan Do grandmaster possibly have to teach me about romance?
The answer, somewhat surprisingly, is kind of a lot.
Of course there are the requisite references to chocolate milk and spaghetti:
But for every tidbit of dating advice about living objects and unicorns:
there’s an unexpected nugget of real wisdom.
For every tip on bedding a dinosaur or Bigfoot (the plural of which Dr. Tingle assures us is Bigfeet- after all, he is a doctor):
there’s an almost offhand piece of true advice.
This seamless blending of humor and poignancy begs a new set of questions: who is Dr. Chuck Tingle? How did he come to know so much about cryptid romance? What exactly is holistic massage?
None of these questions are answered in Dr. Chuck Tingle’s Complete Guide to Romance. However, many others are, such as: how do I entice someone into a 2nd date?
Need advice on trying out BDSM (Bigfeet and Dinosaurs Screaming Meanly)? Dr. Tingle has you covered.
Dr. Tingle’s Complete Guide covers greater topics even than these, such as weddings, proposals, the illegality of chocolate milk and spaghetti (he even includes his own recipes for such), the histories of both kissing and good ol’ American butt-pounding, and how to tell if your neighbor is a Snake Man. There are even included several Real Magic spells to improve your life in both love and work.
But the true magic of Dr. Tingle lies in his ability to catch his readers off guard with his truthfulness and poignancy.
As this review comes to its conclusion, we must ask again: who is Dr. Chuck Tingle? And what else does he have to teach us?

Chuck Tingle is a very disturbed author.
I'm not saying this is a bad thing, just stating the facts.
In this book you get a great deal of good advices for dating as well as for sex, with a focus on dating unicorns, Bigfoot, dinosaurs and living objects, but most advises can also be of use when dating other humans.
The book includes a lot of hot and spicy examples taken from other books by the same author, examples containing very explicit sex.
This book is probably not suited for children, reading at work, or for anyone who thinks inside the box.
As badly edited as it is, and with all it's faults and flaws (there are many), I just can't dislike it.
Chuck Tingle is outstanding in his field, and not only because he is almost alone in it, but that most certainly helps.
If you need dating or relation-advice even if your boyfriend is a bus and your girlfriend is a giant cup of coffee, this is as good a place to look for them as most other books claiming they can help you.

I believe love is real!
If you’re familiar with Chuck’s books, this is exactly what you’d expect in his guide to romance. If you haven’t read any tinglers, I’d start with one of his other books. Or listen to the WTNV podcast Pounded in the Butt By My Own Podcast. Read a couple, or more, and then come back to this book. I’m slowly working my way through the tingler universe and this is a fun read for buckaroos.

Brilliantly funny and sweet book!!
Brilliantly funny and sweet book!! I really enjoyed the author’s warmth, wit and humour. There are sexual references in this book. So it is for adults, not for children.
Please don’t try the recipes in the book, they’re meant to be humorous only.

Best book on the Subject since How to Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way!

Very factual, very informative, and I'm 99% sure that the spells included absolutely do work.

So that happened. I don't know this book just didn't feel like worlds greatest author name of Chuck's normal material.

My love for Chuck Tingle's twitter feed spurred me to spend $5 for the self-published instructional on modern romance. Though it is thankfully slightly better edited than his twitter feed, it doesn't have the creepy, insane sincerity that his online personality projects. Good for a few laughs, and not a bad use of a half hour of my time. thanks for proving real love, Dr. Tingle!

Don't know what I was expecting but most of the humor was godawful and I kinda feel like I wasted an hour of my time reading this. Only one joke was funny: BDSM standing for Bigfeet (and) Dinosaurs Shouting Madly. The rest of the jokes were just one bad mad-lib effort after another.

I have learned so much.
