The Complete Book of Rules: Time-tested secrets for capturing the heart of Mr Right

"Exactly the same advice your mother or grandmother might have given you to survive the "dating game" with your heart intact and Mr. Right beside you at the altar. I read and reread the book, then did it all in my very next relationship. Result?? One wonderful man and a proposal of marriage! We'll be celebrating 5 years of an extremely happy marriage next month! I'd heartily recommend this book to every woman who's tired of wasting time on commitment-shy losers waiting to move in and be supported by "liberated" ladies. Guys - if you're reading it and are "shocked", I suggest you straighten up your act if you want to catch (and hold onto) a REAL woman!"

"Clever women will read between the lines of this book, and realise that the central message is ultimately about self-respect. "

"In short this book is about meeting and keeping the right stalker!! I don't think you can apply all of the advices. But the old game of manipulation works miracles and not only in relationship with men, with freinds and anybody for that matter. It is a MUST-READ nevertheless!!!!!"

"Every guy I know has moaned about some ex-girlfriend who he got bored with because she was too nice/clingy. Men like independent, confident women who have their own lives. Ironically, the more independent you are and the less you "need" the man, the more he is desperate to chase/spend time with you. Anybody who has been in a relationship will know this is true!

All The Rules does is try to convert nice/clingy women into independent strong ones.

Most of the advice in The Rules is good - but it goes too far. Yes I agree that we shouldn't be calling/texting guys all the time - but not returning calls at all? That is just rude!

I think The Rules are best for women who are usually doormats and find they are constantly being dumped on. But they can offer some help to women of the opposite persuasion - career driven, wealthly and independent: don't emasculate the guy: let him chase. Apparently he likes it!

Advice: read The Rules then use your common sense depending on the situation. You must modify The Rules depending on the sensitivity of the guy you are with. If he is a nice guy then he won't mess you around anyway. If he is a player then you need to apply The Rules more strictly.

Worth a read just for entertainment value!"

"This book is great. Its not just about getting your man, its also about self worth and beleiving in yourself. I have been breaking all these rules for years, and guess what, im still single, from now on im folowing them!!!! The only problem I have is that they are really hard to follow, when you like someone you want to talk to them all the time, but I think it will be worth it when i meet the perfect man who adores me!"
