3.0 out of 5 stars Very BASIC, October 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Internet Dating: Tips, Tricks and Tactics (Paperback)

This book is good for people with virtually no Internet experience. It is also good for anyone who doesn't always use the best common sense - and I'll grant that there are a lot of those folks on the Internet. The book, however, is not good for anyone who is fairly savvy and just wants some extra tips and suggestions as to how to enhance their online dating experience.

This review is from: Internet Dating: Tips, Tricks and Tactics (Paperback)

I've read a lot of books, and I have written many reviews, but never before have I enjoyed a book on dating as much as this one. In the most entertaining fashion, Roman Griffen leads his readers through the landscape of Internet dating, pointing out roadblocks and hazards along the way. In his insightful manner, he outlines the do's and dont's of posting an Internet singles ad, and more importantly, how to identify the ads that are of interest to you.
This book really 'decodes' Internet dating AND it's a pleasure to read. Insigtful, ironic, and oftentimes downright funny. I'd really like to read Roman writing about other topics as well! Excellent book.

This review is from: Internet Dating: Tips, Tricks and Tactics (Paperback)

This very entertaining book took me step by step through the process of online dating. I've been an 'online dater' for some time, but never got as many results as I would like. Roman's advice showed me how to word my profile and how to keep it coming up on top! More than once I said to myself, "I would have never thought of that!"
I really enjoyed the essay included in the appendix--I searched for more books by Roman Griffen but couldn't find any. I did find his web site though.
This book was an excellent resource, and it was entertaining enough to be worth reading even if you don't date online. A definite hilarious sociological study.
