Customer Reviews

Date men by understanding them.

This is a great read. It's about becoming a more confident woman and being able to really get out there and find someone special. Written by a matchmaker, there are a ton of good tips and lots of great insight to go along with the advice. It's a great read about how to understand men. I would say it's a must read, as well as Menu Dating: Taste-Test Your Way to the Main Course.

Most of the advice makes sense save a few notable exceptions

I don't happen to agree with her advice that it's okay for a woman to ask men out on dates. She claims this will make you seem confident to men. I disagree. I think it makes a woman seem desperate instead, and it takes away the "thrill of the chase" for the man. A truly desirable woman doesn't need to ask men out. She's too busy getting pursued by them. The author also says that if a man has your phone number but doesn't call you again after a date, then you should call him. WRONG. If he doesn't call you again, it's because he wasn't that into you, and you should take the HINT and move on. By calling him, it just sets you up for further rejection. Who needs that?

More awesome advice from the #1 dating expert!

Well, all I can say is Janis has hit another home run with this book - no wonder it is a bestseller in the relationship category already! Janis' wise, funny, honest, and down to earth advice will be heaven to anyone who is panicked when the doorbell rings and "Mr. First Date" is on the other side. Moreover, Janis takes you by the hand and leads you right through the first date and down the aisle...this book should go directly into your Fendi Fanny Pack and STAY THERE until you have met and married Mr. Right!

Another great bestseller that will also improve your looks and your love life is- How to be a Super Hot Woman: 339 Tips to Make Every Man Fall in Love with You and Every Woman Envy You Both books are a total MUST read. If I had more than two thumbs to put up, or 5 stars, it would get them all.
