Wherever comedian Ian Coburn is, he seems to have some misadventure with a woman--sometimes good, so metimes bad, but always funny.

You'll la ugh, you'll learn, you'll come away entertained and knowledgeable, whether you're a guy or a woman.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dull, Mistitled Book, November 21, 2007
By M. Drake (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
First, I found the book pretty dull and not funny. (Sorry Ian.)

Secondly, this is not a book about dating disasters--it's a book about pick-up/hook-up disasters. It's a gentler, more palatable version of the pick-up artist genre, and discusses the author's ten-plus year history of casual sex and one night stands.

I actually found the book somewhat disconcerting because the author uses such a reasonable, "nice guy" tone to discuss some pretty shallow, callous behavior.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stick to comedy, Ian..., June 23, 2007
By GMan (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This book was a waste...I couldn't finish it.

Ian Coburn should stick to comedy. Though this book has a few funny quips and a couple of good tips, it is mostly just war stories from his dating life. 80% of the stories are pretty dull. I found his perspective pretty juvenile. Are we really looking to a guy who wooes woman back to his futon as an authority on dating??? God helps us (whether god is a she, he, or otherwise).

Ian Coburn is also very full of himself, which I found painful. He constantly pats himself on the back for his "enlightened" approach to women. "When I'm out...I'm trying to meet the one woman I'm attracted to the most. It demonstrates that I'm not interested in a women's T&A." Puh-lease. Someone get this guy a medal. Or..."Cedric the Entertainer, Richard Jeni, and Robert Schimmel...were very cool and liked my act a lot." Don't hurt your arm patting your back, buddy.

Whether you are looking for some great stories or a book with some dating tips, your time is better spent elsewhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that Hilarious, July 10, 2007
This book has less to do with actual dating and more to do with the sexual escapades of a comedian on tour for 10 years. It has a few funny bits and quips that garner a chuckle here and there, but it's not a hoot of a laugh fest. Hitting on drunk comedian groupies is not something the average guy will relate to. To women, comedians are one-night-stand larks, if he's lucky. Women want serious, introspective, assertive, powerful alpha males - NOT CLOWNS. A man with a sense of humor might serve as short-term entertainment but DOES NOT turn a woman on sexually, unless he's one of the lucky few to have his own hit sitcom. She will go home with the star quarterback in school and the VP of sales in life, before even considering a date with the working "funnyman". Does she dream of wedding the handsome Prince or the Court Jester?

Ian's tales of all the psycho, rude, greedy and manipulative women he tried to bed is pretty status quo in the experiences of the average guy on the prowl. A younger guy who has yet to experience all the mental flavors the fairer sex has to offer might benefit from his stories. Personally I've already met these women and when once I used to grovel for their attention, I now run away fast and far until I find an attractive,independent, secure, intelligent and sane one. Scratch that, I'll just take a sane one.
