Summary: Great advise for women trying to snare me...
Review: A friend asked me to read this book to see if the advise would work on women trying to snare me, and I have to say - it would. Ms. Johnson gives advise to help any woman become classier and more attractive to any man - not just the rich. But, speaking as a well-off guy, I think her advise is great - both on how to fashion your life and on how to meet wealthy men. I was a bit bemused by the review I read from the woman in New York. Wealthy men don't want gold diggers, they want a woman who can be a true companion, and Ms. Johnson shows you how to achieve that in her book. Ms. Johnson's book should not be panned because she is not married to a millionaire or taking money from one. She obviously has had many opportunities to marry a rich man, but has chosen not to at this point in her life. Her advise is right on the money (pardon the pun) - and I suggest any woman who wants to better herself get it and read it.

Summary: Can't even look at it!
Review: I borrowed this book from a friend, and I found the book to be both entertaining and witty. I believe that a lot of her suggestions could be applied to anyone's lifestyle. Even if you aren't ready to snare a mate and are enjoying the single life, it's a good book to read to get more out of the times that you ARE out and about looking for that perfect mate. It's a quick read and definitely worth the time.

Summary: Why is everyone so down on this book?VERY GOOD ADVICE!!
Review: I read the "reviews" on this book and I have to say I was very surprised. I have read this twice and yes, some of it is common sense, but some people DO NOT know basic etiquette, (ex. not to swear in front of other, etc.) Even things like "picking one's ears" in public. I , too have seen this and was appalled!Lisa is TRYING to help women, here. She tells you thing like quality men do not want a bleached blonde with huge silicone breasts.(Not for a wife anyway)I have dated many wealthy men and have found this to be true.(And YES I did marry one, also) I do think that Ginie Polo Sayles book is by far the best ever written on the subject as far as meeting wealthy men, but Lisa's book gives great advice as far as public behavior, not having sex too soon, having good manners and VOCABULARY.I personally think Ginie's book emphasizes sex TOO much and men may lose interest or think of you as a toy.
Overall, Lisa has a good book that helps you cultivate your mind and KEEP a quality man but not so great ideas about meeting them.Get Ginies book to meet them, Lisa'a will help you in your social graces.

Summary: Bravo!
Review: I started reading this book with a basic idea of "the millionaire mind"--being "involved" with a couple to an extent. This book was both a good source of reference and enligtening at the same time. It gives you so much information for so little money (don't let the price fool you). It's VERY realistic and equally hilarious. No airhead, gold-digger advice given here. VERY useful for down-to-earth, realistic, self-sufficient and intelligent women everywhere!

Summary: Basically Improper
Review: If you have had little or no exposure to North American culture or media, this book would provide you with all of the fundamentals of the upper class. Beyond that, Lisa Johnson's advice seems largely based upon common sense or on how to not be lower class. Very little useful specific information is given. I also disliked the author's approach to meeting people. In the unlikely event that one does see a millionaire in the 7-11, it's just not the sort of place that one socializes and properly meets people. Yet that's just the sort of thing that is suggested by the author. The general lack of propriety in her methods is what makes this book poor instruction unless you really need the basics. Try Ginie Polo Sayles's book for something a bit more useful.

Summary: A Few Questions for The Author
Review: The reviews say that Lisa A. Johnson's book offers good suggestions on how to be a good companion and not a gold digger: I am glad about it. Yet, she is advising on how to date not just anybody, but specifically THE RICH. Does she mean that the rest of us is not entitled to the same self-confidence and emotional support in a companion? Are we honest, sensitive, understanding, compassionate common men (teachers, small businness owners, musicians, employees, local journalists etc.) condemned to be our self-despising girfriends' cheapo-free therapists?

Summary: Food for thought
Review: This book is about figuring out what you want from a relationship and finding the right man for you. She gives advice about how to improve yourself so that you attract the type of person you want. She does NOT tell you to be a gold digger or only go after men with money. She covers manners & ethics while dating with useful tips to follow.This book is just another resource for self-improvement & improving your dating skills. Regardless of whether you want to get a rich man or just someone who is in your current economic class this book will tell you how to be the best person you can be while dating. Some of the things she tells you like doing your homework just makes good sense. It's considerate to learn a man's food allergies so you don't make him sick or guilty that he can't eat when you cook him a meal. Also if you really like a man it makes sense to learn what perfume he likes or if likes you to wear dresses when you go out. It's easy to wear what's comfortable & do your own thing but relationships are about give & take by both people. I think this book was interesting & worth reading.

Andelin if you're single buy "The Fascinating Girl" by Helen Andelin it's absolutely beautiful!! Well just don't buy this, it's really not worth your money!
