Product Description
Most single women have spent an evening doing Raw Cookie Dough Time (after theyve been dumped), and when theyre really desperate, have even dated men from The Recycling Bin (What did you hate about him? You dont remember). But for anyone needing a translation, or just a laugh, Diane Farr offers a whimsical guide to dating vernacular. Some well-known, some newly-minted, these are slang terms for the different stages of love and dating, for body parts and common sexual experiences, and for all the ways of making up and breaking up.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for All Women -Single or Married, October 20, 2002

By	Tracy Choma "Tracy Choma Geagan" (Rocky River, OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

THE GIRL CODE was my saving grace after calling off a wedding. Newly single and back in the dating scene after 4 years was a bit scary. This book made me laugh out loud for the first time in months. I had a series of bad dates and THE GIRL CODE helped define each situation/guy perfectly. Every single friend I know has received a copy from me. THE GIRL CODE also make a great gift for a bachelorette party. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Rules for Women, January 28, 2001

By	"conniecalvert" (Port Royal, SC USA) - See all my reviews

As a former co-host of MTV's Loveline, Diane Farr has the qualifications to dish out helpful and amusing advice on the opposite sex. In this book, she manages to convey lively and clever tidbits of information about relationships and advice for women on how to play the game. Very cute book, although it was a little less substantial than I would have liked, but still a great little read for the plane or poolside.
