There is nothing new in this book. Steve, a former model, tries to write in a self-deprecating style. "Oh, I'm so handsome and chicks find me irresistible. But, for a model, I'm really short. Oh, I'm going to include a story about a girl I met who's still my friend! I'm not a himbo, really, but I have had my share of women! In fact, I'm really a shy guy!" On and on. Every example includes a story of a girl he met using one of his techniques. The relationship doesn't last but, hey, they're still good friends! Shouldn't that count for something? I think this book is really for the over-30 crowd. His suggestions for meeting men are old. For example, go to the supermarket. Make sure you're neat and presentable with make-up and hair, no sloppy sweatpants or t-shirts. While walking the aisles, glance at what's in the man's basket. If he has diapers, he's married (DUH!). If he has frozen dinners, he can't cook. If he has vegetables and fruits, he's into healthy living. Always remember, if this is what Steve is suggesting you do, then that's what the guys are doing, too. They're also checking out what's in your basket. Other places to meet men include the health club (I'm not kidding), the home improvement store (especially the lumber section because women tend to go to the paint section and that's where most men troll), and nightclubs (seriously? Aren't we a little old for that?). There's a whole chapter on how women should look even if you're going to the corner store for a newspaper (see note above). Steve complains that women usually dress for other women but if they took the time to dress for men, then we'd all be hooking up! Really? Dress for men ONLY? I am a teacher. I DO NOT dress for men because I teach hormonal pre-teen boys! And, no, I don't wear jumpers. Never have and never will. I dress professionally because I think a lot of people in my profession have forgotten how to dress. I wear skirts and heels. I feel I'm showing my students how to look neat and presentable. If I dressed for men, I'd be wearing tight jeans, a v-neck t-shirt, and stiletto heels, which some of the teachers DO wear. Really, Steve? That's what you want EVERY WOMAN to wear to work? Unless you're required to wear a uniform or work at a job where it gets a little sloppy (construction), I think we should all be entitled to wear what makes US look and FEEL good about ourselves. Steve also tells us that women must be in good shape, which includes some sort of exercise regimine. And, once we get the guy, we should maintain our figures. No mention of why men are allowed to swell up to the size of a whale once. There's even an entire chapter on personal grooming and what works for men. Yes, I'm going there because HE did! Seems we should all be waxed with only eyebrows, eyelashes, and the hair on the tops of our heads (which should be long because ALL men love long hair). Hmmm. Personally, I think all men should shave their armpits since that's where bacteria rests and plays all day long. I'm tired of seeing little deodorant balls hanging from pit hair. As I stated before, this book tells us nothing new. It's all surface crap. When talking about men, women tend to say, "It's not what's on the outside but what's on the inside that matters." Men, on the other hand tend to be visual and if the outside of the house is not maintained, they don't want to take a tour of the inside! This book screamed ME, ME, ME! As the saying goes, "Enough about me ... let's talk about ... ME!"
