This books walks one effortlessly through the steps of online dating . Who knew it could be so easy! The book is extremely helpful and easy to read. I met and started dating a fantastic man within a few weeks after reading and implementing the suggestions in the book. Well worth $5!

...I will buy a copy of this for everyone whose online personal profile has made me cringe. But then maybe not, because I'd go broke. If you have posted a shirtless photo, ever mentioned your ex in your ad, overthought your username, or wondered if you really should have mentioned that psychotropic drug you're taking the moment someone "winked" at you, YOU NEED THIS.

If you have been trying to encourage your son or daughter to explore the possibilities of on-line dating, this is the perfect book to recommend. Ms. Wodtke charts a course through on-line dating sites with an eye for cost-effectiveness and good advice for safe meetings. This is a great guide for getting their feet wet ...

I saw this book in a bookstore recently and had to write a review. Thumbing through it left me with that same feeling I had the day after the recent presidential election - you know, sick to one's stomach. Ok, it's not just that the premise for the book is idiotic (really if you can't figure out online dating, then you probably need to keep your DNA out of the gene pool), but really, this book is such a waste of paper that I am suprised Sierra Club hasn't protested it. The writing is puerile and the attempts at humor akin to the jokes my preschool children tell. What were the "Learn...for 5 Bucks" people thinking? Save your money and spend the night tweezing your eyebrows, it'll be less painful and is more likely to improve your chances in the dating world.

Not getting a lot of hits to your online personals ad, Ms. Wodtke? The final page cleverly named "About the Author", uncovers the book's real purpose: another way for the author to get her own online personals ad seen. Other than that, most of what's here is obvious, common-sense stuff, that you should be aware of if not before you even venture into online dating then certainly by the time you're in the registration process of any personals site. Most tell you extensively how to navigate their services, which includes information that is in this book. The upside here is that you don't pay more than $5. Yet another downside is being foolish enough (I'm putting myself in this category) to actually pay for it at all.
