Offensive and Silly, February 17, 2008
This review is from: Why Hasn't He Called?: New York's Top Date Doctors Reveal How Guys Really Think and How to Get the Right One Interested (Paperback)
Basically, if you hate yourself and want to become a totally different person in order to snag a "man" this book is for you.
If you are a confident, awesome woman who just hasn't found the right person yet, stay far, far away from this book.
The advice in this book is so completely ridiculous that my friends and I have been literally laughing over it. For example:
If you have two cats send one away for the night so you don't scare him away?? (One cat okay, two cats clearly marks you as a spinster.)
Hide all of your books?? (Seriously?)
Limit your sports talk to Sunday afternoons?? (What??? This isn't even human. And what if you don't like football but are a baseball fan instead??)
Make sure you have a fancy, flat screen tv in your living room!
Are these people kidding?
Of course, there is more to this book than those few examples I just listed, but overall, it's a bunch of garbage. It bleeds sexism.
Offensive to men AND women, this book is only good for entertainment purposes.
If you are an actual human being and you are trying to use this book for the purpose it intends, good luck. And make sure to have plenty of fresh-cut flowers in beautiful vases, breath mints and candles all over your apartment.

Every romantic girl needs a slap in reality, September 14, 2008
This review is from: Why Hasn't He Called?: New York's Top Date Doctors Reveal How Guys Really Think and How to Get the Right One Interested (Paperback)
Its funny how us romantic girls just run crazy with one date , one phone call, many text messages. We forget to ground ourselves and we just start day dreaming what our new last name. This books gives girls an edge. Its helps become fun and confident. It teaches them great tricks to have little pick me uppers. I loved this book. I really think you to are not sure about the guys in your life you might want to read this books to begin your process of elimination.

Awful Advice ... and this was from a guy!, February 25, 2011
This review is from: Why Hasn't He Called?: New York's Top Date Doctors Reveal How Guys Really Think and How to Get the Right One Interested (Paperback)
I recently bought this book and was so disappointed. Basically, the advice in this book is for women to strip themselves of their identity, opinion and personality and just cater to men.
I was especially 'horrified' at the chapter that describes what you should do to your apartment to make it 'guy friendly' ... the author advises you to get rid of pets, photos of your family, health food in your refrigerator, and any evidence of religious beliefs for the first time a guy visits your apartment?
So basically, you create a false illusion of yourself and 'snare' the guy and then the real you comes out when you get to know each other and the guy was sold a bunch of lies and leaves you anyway?
One of my best male friends read through the book and told me to throw the book away ... he thought it was ridiculous and it's not how men think. His advice is that a man has to love you for who you are. And that advice is not in this book.
P.S. I did throw the book away.
