Read it for a book club...not something I'll venture into again. No idea why I even bothered.
Read this on the recommendation of a friend. Parts of it made sense and parts of it offended me. Not sure how I really feel about it.
Do yourself a favour and stay away from this book.
The advice in here cost me a perfectly good relationship (I blame the book at least partially though my own insecurities that lead me to following this advice are not blameless either).
Yes, it is important to set boundaries in a relationship, but commonsense will serve you much better. I can now see that this book is full of internalised misogyny. Very unfortunate.

Not quite applicable to where I am in my life right now, but still an interesting read that will probably guide my romantically inclined actions in the future.
This is the most ridiculous advice I've read about dating. I read this book mainly out of curiosity and I was not disappointed - I couldn't stop reading as it got more and more ridiculous. The whole idea that men won't be interested if the woman is too accessible - man/hunter, woman/prey - is pretty old-fashioned and I really hope I am right in thinking that a relationship can work if the woman dares making the first move or texting back within ten minutes instead of waiting 3 hours!!! I found the whole chapter on appearance very judgemental as well. I get that you want to look good if you are going on a date, but really, a "uniform"? With hoop earrings being the most recommanded jewelry because it's sexy?? And hair longer than the shoulders ("get extensions if you have to")? Skirts have to be above the knee, or else wear skinny jeans? I would hope women who wear anything else than this have a chance as well. Guess if there are still single women out there, it must be because they text too soon or have forgotten to wear lip-gloss. And to straighten their hair as curly hair looks messy and men don't like it.
Anyway. Read this book if you want to feel angry, don't waste your time if you actually need the advice.
