Holy cow this is wild! My partner checked everything off this list, and he wanted to take me ring shopping on day 23!! I wish I knew this so I could’ve found my man sooner and saved myself from a lot of heartaches. I’ll be telling all my single girlfriends about this ASAP!

This might be old fashioned to some people but it has great points. More women need to value themselves, I know I always haven’t.

This is a terrible book. I guess if you want to marry a man who wears pink polo shirts that you picked out for him and wants to be your 'project' then go ahead and read this. I cannot stop reading terrible books. They are so much quicker than good books.

After reading Bridget Jones' Diary, I decided that self-help books (ESPECIALLY on dating) sounded too hilarious to NOT read. This book does not disappoint. It. Is. HILARIOUS!!
I mean... that's not to say it utterly lacks any kernel of wisdom, but the very concept of it is so ridiculous! Or at least, it comes across as ridiculous to neurotic, anti-social 21-year-olds who view dating as an alarmingly distasteful activity. At least when it is approached with such a meat market mentality.
Ah, but that meat market mentality is so immensely entertaining. I love the image this book creates... I can just see these "social events" with bemused men and scheming women ticking various behaviors off lists, attempting to ignore all of the system's caveats in a desperate attempt to find a mate. It seems so... stylized... so... well, like the movies or something.
Yes, this book is wonderful. I just hope the advice hasn't subconsciously seeped into my brain.

I read this one during my gung-ho dating days a few years ago. I don't know if you can tell if he is gonna marry you BUT you will be able to tell if you are wasting your time-which can be just as helpful!

Although it's a little oversimplified - I think it's a useful tool in helping women to understand that they are sometimes unrealistic in their expectation of men and that relationships don't always have to be a "challenge." Basically, it's another version of "He's Just Not That Into You."

This book is like the little engine that could for adult females. Inspiring and confidence driving. I loved it!

This book accurately described what Patrick did while courting me.
