Summary: The best advice I ever got - fantastic book!
Review: This book changed my life. I had a history of dating men who treated me like I was an afterthought and I kept putting up with it. This book teaches you to 1) decide what your goal is (boyfriend, marriage, casual dating), 2) decide what qualities you want in a man, and 3) don't date anyone more than a few times if he doesn't have those qualities. It was hard but if I could tell on a first or second date that he didn't have certain qualities that I wanted (like humility or generosity) then I politely declined when he asked me out again. My friends said I was being too harsh because I was so ruthless. They said that nobody's perfect and I was being too inflexible. But I stuck with it because what I'd been doing hadn't made me meet the love of my life. So after four months I met a man who had EVERY SINGLE QUALITY on my list! We got married a year later and have now been married for 8 wonderful months. My friends now say that I'm the poster child for successful dating! This book is the reason that I had the courage not to settle for just anyone who came along.

Summary: Too much "How to" for my taste
Review: This book has some great insights into relating to men, but it's too much of "do this, and don't do that". I didn't really need an instruction book.

Summary: Single Women Must Read!!!
Review: This book is great! I think that these women are probably not ready to face reality!)Yes, the book is written by men and it gives refreshing insight into men's minds (you can wait all day for guys to act like women and think like you do, but it aint going to happen!) This book is practical and witty, an easy read with great information. If you are willing to take responsibility for your life, you will like this book... if you want to keep making excuses for being alone and miserable, then you'll probably agree with the few who trashed this book. This book gets you motivated to take charge of your life and energizes you to make choices that will help you succeed. It also introduces a novel concept - think about the kind of guy YOU want to date before accepting dates from just anyone or staying in a dead relationship. I'm a success story, I met my current boyfriend after 3 months of reading this book and using the techniques. We now live together and have plans to get married.

Summary: What a hunk of CRAP!!
Review: This book is insulting to women and men! It offers nothing useful on thesubject and seems to be written by high school punk kids. While reading this book it reminded me of another one I read a year ago which was just as horrible, and guess what? It's from the same publisher! Talk about a crap-o-rama! Save yourself some money! The only way this book will help you is by making the mistake of purchasing it!

Summary: Written from the male perspective!
Review: This book is written for women from the male perspective! I found it to be very helpful as far as helping me get and stay into the correct mindset for dating. How many times have you fellow female daters wanted to know what's going on inside a mans' head before your first date together? And what about afterwards? How about just trying to understand what goes on inside a mans' head in regards to dating, period? Don't put all your eggs in one basket, ladies! Have the guys lined up to take you out and you'll fair much better in the dating game. Don't take things so seriously and have fun. If one doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right...there are plenty more where that came from. Don't even focus on finding Mr. Right! Live for the moment and learn from your dating experiences. Confidence is a big factor and dating lots of eligible men will definitely give you plenty of that! Can't find lots of men? This book will tell you how.

Summary: Happier than ever
Review: This book was given to me as a joke after several failed first dates. I read it, studied it, and followed it. Now not only am I in a relationship with a great guy, I am happier than I have ever been in all aspects of my life. I strongly recommend this book to any woman who is serious about changing her dating life.

Summary: This Is Way Too Much On What Men Want
Review: This book, for the most part, is about meeting a man's needs. Well what about us. We are part of a potential healthy relationship also. Yes, it is a book about how to succeed with men, how to be more attractive and sought after, but it has virtually nothing on how a woman should be her own person. Having a relationship with a man or getting married is not a priority with many women. This should have been included in their writing. This book also contains things an older woman (I'm forty.) already knows. I found myself just skimming this book. There are some things that I found helpful, which is why I gave it three stars, but most of it was common sense for me. For better reading on this, read I Love You...Will You Marry Me?! It's filled with a lot of good advice that is more than just about what men want. It is a great book that also explains why it isn't neccessary to get married. This is far from the mainstream of other books. I found this to be the most helpful of all the books I have read.

Summary: How To Succeed With Men
Review: This is just a reworking of the authors earlier book "How To Succeed With Women", leaving out the sections on how to seduce a woman. While there is a little bit of good, common sense advice, I found that most of the book was to try and make women into little "Stepford" girlfriends. The authors seem more interested in having a man's needs met, rather than helping women get a relationship that's fulfilling for them.

Summary: Down to earth and really useful
Review: This is the first time I've taken the time to review a book (though I count on these reviews a lot when making purchasing decisions here on Amazon). This book, however, made such an impact on me, I had to tell all the other smart single sisters out there about this puppy! ... One of the best things I got out of this book is the idea that the quality man of my dreams could be anywhere. The author made it so easy to figure out how to start a conversation in any situation and turn it into a date. ... Does it make any difference where you meet the man of your dreams if you end up living happily ever after? You CAN meet great men anywhere if you know how to do it (and if you read this book, you WILL know how!) Now then, here is the review I logged on to write . . . FINALLY!!! A book that makes sense, it's so funny, and it teaches you how to find the right guy for YOURSELF--without any tricks, games, rules or changing the way you actually are. I still can't believe how well and how quickly my love life has become the way I always wanted it to be. Maybe even better! I'm making all my bud's (male and female) read it too. Don't worry, it's so funny, you'll fly right through it in one day. The weird thing is that I didn't even have to "try" to implement what I learned, I just sort of changed from the inside out, and suddenly it really did (as the author puts it) "Start raining quality men!" GET THIS BOOK AND MAKE ALL YOUR FRIENDS READ IT! I really think the author will be successful in her hope to not just help people hook up, but to get into healthier, happier relationships that really last.

Summary: It's Changed my Life!
Review: When I first picked up a copy of How to Succeed with Men I was skeptical. However, there was someone whom I was extremely interested in who worked with me but didn't know that I existed. I was ready for a new plan of action. After I began reading this book I could hardly put it down! The tips, ideas and 'game plans' that they outlined made complete sense to me. I realized that I had been following the same old pattern for years now. And, I learned new and easy ways to change my way of thinking. For the first time in my life I became the proactive one in pursuing the men whom I desired and not simply settled for the others who would chance to look my way. And, these new plans were simple and easy to do! Not only did I get my prospective date to notice me. And, notice me he did! But, I became the hot commodity at my workspace. By implementing these techniques, I was asked out on wonderful dates by the men that I hand picked. Men that I thought were way out of my grasp were following me around the office like love struck puppies. It was awkward at first but I soon got over my shyness and now my nightlife has never been better. I also have to mention that not only did the men at my office start to see me in a new light but the men that I encountered in my every day activities would begin to flirt outrageously. It was amazing what the tips and techniques from these authors and from all of the men that they researched and interviewed did for my dating life. I am now involved with the man whom I was interested in at work and I have never been happier in a relationship. I recommend this book to every woman. Whether you are seeking to enter into a new romance or are currently involved in one. The information in this book is timeless and relevant to each phase of a relationship. Next, I will get to the 'commitment conversation'!
