All I learned from this book was how great the author thinks she is and how the most important thing is for women to keep themselves slim and fit. When one of the advice bullets mentioned the importance of always being skinny, I closed the book. It was just all about the author and her job hooking up rich businessmen with skinny women. It didn't contain much practical dating advice other than hire a matchmaker aka the author.
