5.0 out of 5 stars This book Works!, July 19, 2005

This review is from: How to Stay Single Forever (Paperback)

I bought this book for myself because it's so funny, and my then-girlfriend took it and read it, and sure enough, we never got married! It has hilarious tips for staying single including: "get along GREAT with his mother." Another good one is "have an image problem" which includes this sample dialogue:

Her: Do you think my thighs are fat?

Him: No, I think your thighs are beautiful.

Her: Then you think fat is beautiful.

Him: Well, if you don't like your body, why don't you start working out?

Her: So you do think my thighs are fat!

Him: No, I think your thighs are beautiful.

Keep repeating this conversation until your relationship is over. (It won't take long.)

4.0 out of 5 stars A Mixture of Real Advice Disguised in Female Humor!, December 6, 2001

This review is from: How to Stay Single Forever (Paperback)

Amongst men, they will say, "Chicks aren't funny." Well, here's a book that a lot of women will buy for the humor, but a good portion of the advice could be very helpful. This is one of the books that I used as a resource for my book. I believe that the biggest problem that most women have in dating is "spooking" men away early. And here's a book that tells women in a woman's voice what might trigger this. I particularly find things like #19 "Use baby talk in bed, #41 "Have a prejudice, #55 Talk about therapy, #69 "Overdress", and #89 "Don't laugh at his jokes," to be very good examples of "spooking." I think it's a fun read that would make for a good woman-to-woman joke, but there's real good relationship advice in here, but not properly contextualized. Bottom line: men get spooked easily....you only get a few chances at the big one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, insightful behaviors that turn men off, July 26, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Stay Single Forever (Paperback)

Jenny takes us on an insightful journey with 101 female behaviors that "turn men off." Men can review these actions in terms of their current partner or check out future relationships before they become a problem.
For those romance, e-mail hopefuls, here is a way of checking out your correspondents in terms of misguided behaviors. For women, this guide is invaluable to the kinds of behaviors that men find disturbing. Men may be unaware that you wearing a bathing suit with a shirt makes them feel old, or feel too insecure to tell you that your intellect is scaring them away.
Easily read in about an hour, and this is where the fun begins. Now you have a handy reference to an important check list. It's time to share some of the insights and use the book as a catalyst for your own list and insights concerning relationships. The natural sequel to the book is what men do to stay alone or lose their women. Can we only think of 101?
