From a Woman in the North with Southern Parents...

My parents are Southerners but I was born in Detroit, so I missed out on the social flirting and courtship flirting part of my "Southern education". I gleaned what I could from my mother and grandmother, but since my parents divorced when I was young, I didn't often see the many ways to flirt. I took it upon myself to learn, but the only thing I noticed was seductive flirting. After reading "What Southern Women Know Flirting" I learned which flirting technique to use in what situation (social, courtship, and seductive). I don't feel bad about it because I know what is and what is not appropriate, which is really important for a girl who's about to enter the workplace. For the GOOD STUFF: I've gotten more than a few dates using Ms. Rich's courtship techniques and of course, I call them honey, sugar (sugah), baby...they love it. I love it too! Men love to be men and treat ladies like ladies, so let them. My Grandmother laughs at me now because she never thought she'd live to see the day I'd call a man "sugah."

Feminism as an asset!

This is a lovely book written in such a charming manner! By putting into practice what is suggested by this book, everyone wins. Ronda Rich's writing style is very easy. I recommend this to every female, because since I have read two of her books, I notice a change not only in myself, but in those around me. I also have noticed that I get a lot of perks and extras.

Fantastic, as always!

After reading the first "What Southern Women Know," I had to pick up this book! The fine art of flirting seems to have been lost in today's society..but applying the principles Ronda writes about can bring it back for sure! I wish every single woman would read this book. There are so many single women these days who dive headfirst into a relationship, much too fast and with all our hearts. Ronda teaches us that the fire needs to start and build slowly..the rewards are well worth it. However, this book is not just about enhancing your love life..these principles apply in all areas of your life! As always, well done, Ronda! I highly recommend this book for all women!

Southern Women have always been the experts!

Fun book about a unique topic! Who could imagine a book written about flirting?! I love Author Ronda Rich's comment, "In business, flirting is as important as a good calculator and dictionary." My favorite page had to be Page #207, entitled, "What Guys Know About Savvy Flirting Girls"...YEP! Thanks for a light-hearted, classy book! Author Ronda Rich gives the readers excellent examples of how to put this flirtation into motion. All I can say is in romance, business and everyday life....look out people! You aren't going to know what just hit you!

BRAVO!!!

I read about this book in the newspaper and thought I'd give it a shot since I'm a 32-year-old single career woman. Wow! I got much more than I bargained for. This book gives plenty of good advice on achieving success in life in all areas -- personal, professional and social. It is divided into three sections: Social Flirting, Courtship Flirting, Seductive Flirting. In social flirting, Ronda Rich talks about the courtesy and friendliness that draws people to you and makes them want to associate with you. Quite simply, social flirting, she says, is the art of making others feel good about themselves so that they feel good about you. Hmmm. Simple concept but so true. The book was well worth the money just for the tips it gave in that section. Then, the book becomes a progressive guide for flirting. In Courtship Flirting, Ronda stresses that moving quickly into an intimate will sabotage long-term success because men are born hunters and lose interest if they capture the game easily. Makes a lot of sense to me. Of course, the section of Seductive Flirting doesn't need alot of explanation but she makes a major point in this section that may rattle traditional feminists: Baby your man and he'll baby you. But, not at the cost of losing your power in the relationship which she cleverly explains in the chapter titled Rule The Roost But Pamper The Rooster. I enthusiastically endorse this book from the first page to the last. Perfect for single women and those who want to climb the ladder of success and those who want to be the best wives possible. Every woman can benefit from the advice in this book. Don't miss this jewel!!!
