So after watching a few episodes of the Matchmaker I thought I would check out her book. I must say I really liked the book, and it isn't your typical dating advice. I really think it is from a male perspective, a few men in my life would say she was dead on in many areas. I liked many aspects of the book.
I liked that she went into what a guy wants physically, and yes, it is a variety, but we should always try to look our best, not to wear enough make up to look like a clown, and apparently you need to add in wearing high heals, and having longer hair. I wouldn't have given serious thought to the last two suggestions.
I like that she asks you to work through your old baggage, and not to bring it to a date. Guess what, we all have our own baggage, but we really should deal with it, and not make someone else carry it around. she asks us to not talk about bad previous dates, or really talk about anyone badly, because that is a reflection of ourselves.
Other good points I thought she had was not having sex without have an exclusive and committed relationship, and giving it 90 days before having sex. If you think about it, it is sound advice, many people you date you shuffle though long before 90 days, and well it eliminates booty calls. It also helps seperate out the relationship minded men, and the those who aren't interested in a long-term relationship.
Many other good points in this book. Definately worthwhile. Follow her advice and you will eliminate a lot of needless dating, and save yourself some heartache. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is dating, male or female.
