As I experienced it, when finding yourself alone, maybe even for the first time in your life, you can embrace one of two strategies: the passive one...waiting for someone to drop out of the sky into your life, or the active one... figuring out what sort of guy you want to spend the rest of your life with and then searching for him! This book equips you with the skills to master the search process that has the highest probability of success ...internet dating.

Don't let pride ("I'm too good for this"), bitterness ("all men are jerks"), denial ("I'm perfectly content spending the rest of my life alone") or ego ("I have a Ph.D...I can figure this out on my own") keep you from taking advantage of the sound wisdom contained in this book. Culbreth, in a style which is both witty and warm, walks you though the fog of fear and self-doubt that we inevitably encounter when faced with the daunting task of finding a mate at this stage of our lives. It may have been a long time since you did any thinking about who you are and what you really want. Culbreth helps you through this. You may have difficulty remembering what men are looking for... Culbreth helps you remember. As women we have been socialized to be self-effacing. Culbreth helps you overcome this tendency in order to construct a personal profile which illuminates the strengths and qualities of your unique being.

I know Culbreth deeply believes there is someone out there for you...and I do, too. So take a deep breath, buy the book, and enjoy your search.

This is a well written book but very improperly titled. It should be titled, "The WOMAN's guide to online dating."

Guys if you're looking for a book that answers guy specific questions, look elsewhere. There are no answers here!!!

Culbreth's book is more than a how to for internet dating. It forces us to reflect on who we really are and what we really want from a potential mate. For those who have been too timid to try online dating, Culbreth offers warm persuasive and encouraging advice. For those who have tried online dating, Culbreth gives you a road map on the best way to sell yourself. If you are over the age of 35, and want to be with someone, read this book. Trust Culbreth; it works.

The title understates the scope of this book. It is a comprehensive relationship guide for Baby Boomer women who want to find a husband over the internet. Judsen Culbreth was successful in finding her husband this way and her stories throughout the book remind us of her success. There is much useful information on internet dating. But first there are a series of questionnaires to determine if you are "relationship-ready." Her chapter comparing the features of various online services is very helpful. Her guidance for developing a profile, carrying on e-mail correspondence, and safety tips are very good. She even has a chapter on "chemistry and sex" which is geared to the needs of peri-menopausal women. The final chapter recommends a schedule for a year of dating before sealing the relationship with marriage.

A great deal of this information is useful to men, but the audience is clearly intended to be women. For general relationship guidance along with a lot of information about online dating, this book is a good choice for Baby Boomer women.

I am not sure where the author got such statistics as "60 percent of men versus 40 percent of women sign up for online dating." Other online dating books don't support this claim at all.

However, I admit that some of her advice was practical and helpful. She suggests learning about men by listening to them at "the source." Turn on Imus in the Morning radio show or watch ESPN Outdoors, where you get to hear men "banter" and joke with each other.

She also wants readers to complete "exercises" in order to identify and find the person who meets their needs. The first exercise requires 20 examples of relationships that stand out in your mind. (I haven't had 20 relationships even going back to grade school!) And then you have to answer six questions for each. (I might have been more inclined to do this if I had not bought the Kindle edition!)

I know that successful online dating requires some preparation, but I wasn't ready for this much. I wish I had gotten the book from the library so I wouldn't feel like I wasted my money.

This is a great book and I highly recommend it if you are in your mid-40s or beyond and looking to find the man of your dreams. Despite the title, the book is geared to women. It's a great primer to online dating, helping you find your way through dating internet sites, preparing a profile and the steps between getting a "wink" and getting married.

What I also like about this book is that Judsen takes time to help you reflect on past loves and determine what went right and what went wrong. She also takes you through all the steps of setting up your profile and responding to emails on dating sites, as well as "dos and don'ts" that will help you get noticed by the men you really want to attract.

If you are dating, get this book.
