4.0 out of 5 stars Whose values???, July 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Playing for Keeps: Dating, Seducing, and (Maybe) Marrying the Modern Man (Paperback)

I was so interested in the "Psyscho-Babble" review that I actually re-read the book. As far as I can ascertain, it remains an excellent, inciteful, current approach to an age-old subject. Very well written, easy-read. Although, I could see where it might pose problems for those who felt that the only proper family value system was theirs. Good job, Judy!

5.0 out of 5 stars A humorous, yet practical dating guide for women, September 4, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Playing for Keeps: Dating, Seducing, and (Maybe) Marrying the Modern Man (Paperback)

Unlike many other guides to dating, this does not so much set rules, as establish general guidelines and set up a way of thinking about dating that can help you catch a man (or decide whether or not you really want to keep him at all!) Marriage is discussed as a goal for a woman in a relationship but, refreashingly, its not considered the only valid one. A sense of humor is required equipment in the dating world, and Ms. Cole is able to dispense it along with the kind of advice that usually comes from a trusted friend who's really on your side. She uses both true-life stories and fractured fairy-tales to illustrate her advice, keping the book entertaining as well as helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Advice plus wise fables on how to find your love, February 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Playing for Keeps: Dating, Seducing, and (Maybe) Marrying the Modern Man (Paperback)

Judy says that you must first know yourself and love yourself; then truthfully decide on the sort of man who'll be able to make you happy...regardless of profession or status. She also uses clever fables to illustrate the do's and dont's of starting and maintaining relationships. Honesty is very much the best policy, here...as against game-playing...in order to reach genuine intimacy. Clear, useful, fun read on how to find love.
