This guy is so judgmental and idiotic that literally every page had me steaming. Cosmo Fox has an aversion to anyone qualifying as "overweight" and, as many women and men have found using the internet as a dating source, it enables one to get to know another person before getting to know what they look like. I understand that it's frustrating when someone is deceptive about their appearance before meeting, but the 'writer' (I use the term loosely--he mentions having had the book proofread but if I were to have a go at the final copy every page would be covered in red editing marks!! Horrible!!) spends approximately half the book insulting his dates (who would presumably read the book) for being fat--and even one for being a burn victim! He considers himself very witty and interesting, and he just isn't. It's a real shame that one of the few anecdotal books about online dating out there has to be written by this jerk. Please, please, someone with some real talent and sensitivity, give us something of quality to read!

My dear sister Heather gave me this book for my birthday. I am an avid internet dater, so this was the perfect gift for me. I guess the best word to summarize Cosmo Fox's book would be: CAPTIVATING. I couldn't put the book down! The next day, I dropped the book off to one of my friends that has been having hazardous dates. I would completely recommend purchasing this book and give it a FULL FIVE STARS! Know someone who chats and dates online? "Online Dating: The Early Years" should be their next birthday gift! Thanks, Cosmo.

Very entertaining and fun to read. It was interesting and kept my attention throughout the entire book.

Contrary to the last post I thought every page contained quite humorous anecdotes. The book had me laughing every page all the way to the end. Sure, he is sarcastic and may have expected too much, but he gives a lot of good advice. A must read for anyone that is unsure of the online dating world and could use some tips on what to do.
