Sorry, but this book is horrible. I can't believe the majority of poor advice given to women. It's as if the person wrote it years ago when women need to just be quiet and be careful of what they say or they may lose the guy. Sorry - I would not recommend it.

Waste of money I meant to return it but missed the stupid deadline Apr 26, Kristin rated it did not like it Shelves: american , never-finished. What a terrible, terrible book with stupid, degrading and dishonest rules and advices! At first I thought the author was ironic or joking - but nope! She's deadly serious - and it's all about faking, lying, waiting waiting and waiting for the guys to come riding on a white horse - madly in love because you have ignored them for ALWAYS for at least 24 hours, NEVER chatting with them online and ONLY emailing them flag Like · see review.

Dec 25, Diane Archie rated it it was amazing · review of another edition. Helpful if you've been out of the dating world for years!!! Things have changed! This book helps immensely! Highly recommended! Internet dating requires a different approach and this book guides you along!

Jun 15, Vân Nguyễn rated it it was amazing. Jan 17, Viacheslav Adamyants rated it it was amazing. Helped me a lot. Got married:. Apr 07, Jill rated it it was ok Shelves: self. I have a work friend who keeps giving me her "Rules" books to read, so I read to oblige. I am disgusted by the encouragement of deceit throughout. The entire book is about pretending not to be interested, whether or not you are.

I recognize and very much resent that the concept of working the Rules is accurate - meaning it is human nature to want what you can't have, so a female tends to up her stock by appearing to be unavailable. It is disturbing how many women have to pretend to have a self I have a work friend who keeps giving me her "Rules" books to read, so I read to oblige.

I have no problem with practicing a lot of what the Rules say, but it's my natural inclination anyway - not to pounce on communication I get that includes men and women. I think I wrote in my last review, I think this book would be particularly useful and helpful for women who have a tendency to be doormats and women who are high-maintenance.

I just dislike the pretense of it all. There's an awful lot of dishonesty and deception - lots of tips about making stuff up. Why must you lie about everything? Why can't you just say you have made other plans - whatever those plans may be?

Personally, I wouldn't want a relationship with someone who can't even tell the truth about the smallest things. If it's all about saving their face, I'm not interested. Again there are ways not to be desperate and needy without having to lie or spill your guts about your entire past. Morals of any kind are pretty well skipped over. Occasionally the authors say, "It's just not right," but that's about it. This really bothers me as well.

Ever since she and Sherrie Schneider began weekly meetings in a Chinese restaurant years ago, lamenting their dating woes and discussing their friends' relationships, the two have been formulating and formatting their rules for dating that have now become so popular.

They have come a long way, having been featured on Dateline NBC and the Today show, chronicled in People, Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post , and USA TODAY and even spoofed in a skit on Saturday Night Live.

Since the success of the first book, there have been several spin-offs, adaptations, and parodies of The Rules, written by other authors, but none have garnered the attention of the original. The Rules for Online Dating is like a mini refresher course in how to behave and handle your love life.

My wife Gretchen played by The Rules and had me at the altar less than 12 hours after we met. The Rules for Online Dating tells women how to post their ads and be successful with men. From Library Journal Fein and Schneider The Rules, The Rules for Marriage collaborate once again to give women a highly structured system for online dating that consists of 29 rules and 17 "Extra Hints" intended to turn them into desirable "Creatures Unlike Any Other" CUAO.

They show how to choose a screen name, sift through incoming requests, and sound "light and breezy" in ads and replies. The most troubling aspect of this book is that it works counterintuitively to the very essence of online dating. For example, the authors forbid women to take any initiative, telling them to wait 24 hours before responding to e-mail, never participate in Instant Messaging or chat rooms, answer all e-mail in three sentences or fewer of chipper-sounding rhetoric, and stop talking to a man who doesn't ask them out within four messages.

Although it makes sense for a couple to go on "date zero" meet in person before they grow too attached, there is a lot the pair can learn from each other by openly corresponding online before dating, the authors' strictures notwithstanding. The "light and breezy" tack will work against a woman seeking a relationship built on communication and trust, and men will feel put off by this seemingly manipulative strategy.

Eve Hogan's Virtual Foreplay is a more reliable choice for information on online dating. CUAO looks a lot like ciao, which is what most decent guys will say to a woman following this misguided advice. Jeanne Larkins, New York Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc. E-mail and The Rules for Online Dating E-mail has become a universal part of relationships these days, whether a relationship starts online or not.

Millions of women around the world are "e-dating," whether they meet men online or in a local bar. In the last two years, we've seen a rapid shift in our consulting business -- today about 50 to 75 percent of the calls and e-malls we get concern relationships being conducted on the Internet. And these women have been asking us for a book of Rules for dating online. As many of you know, our first book, The Rules, spawned a worldwide movement. Readers began -- and continue -- to set up free online and offline support groups around the world and visit our website www.

com at the rate of over , hits a month. But when we wrote The Rules seven years ago, little was known about online dating-many even considered it dangerous -- so we did not even include it. By , when we wrote The Rules II, there was a little more interest in online dating and we wrote a short chapter telling women the pitfalls of this chat-intensive dating method, how to best apply The Rules, and how to play it safe.

Back then, there were only a handful of dating websites. By there were more than 2, Internet sites devoted to matchmaking. And the numbers are still climbing worldwide. Today, busy professional men and women think nothing of placing an ad and photo online and coming home every night to dozens of e-mails from desirable members of the opposite sex.

They spend hours on the computer every day in online relationships or chat rooms or just answering their e-mail. The only problem is that online dating has become a little like a bad bar scene. Women are making serious mistakes in the way they meet and talk to men online, Women need to know: how to write effective ads how to answer e-mails how to act in chat rooms how to set boundaries with men online, and how to weed out the good guys from the bad.

And we're not just talking about women who use online dating services and chat rooms an online forum where people can converse with each other by posting messages in real time.

Today, virtually everyone uses e-mail; it's as common as a phone call. More men are simply asking women out or asking them about their day by e-mail instead of or in addition to calling, whether they first met these women through love aol, personals, yahoo.

com, or at a party at a friend's house. These days, men and women meeting for the first time often exchange e-mail addresses -- sometimes before they exchange phone numbers! Women meeting new men at business conferences, birthday parties, or clubs give out their e-mail addresses and also take men's e-mail addresses, and then find themselves in an e-mail relationship with a man. These women are just as prone to making the same mistakes online as women using online dating services and chat rooms -- mistakes that can ruin their relationships.

E-mail courtship has made dating more hazardous than ever. With e-mail, women are tempted to let their guard down, let it all hang out, Instant Message men all night, and have cybersex not The Rules!

But we believe you cannot e-mail with abandon, without thinking, without Rules. You must watch what you say, how often you say it, no matter what or how often he e-mails you, otherwise the relationship becomes so casual that it can go poof! What many women don't realize is that an e-mail is just like a phone call-it does count! Women are making the same kind of mistakes online they make on the phone, mistakes that allow an e-courtship to become too easy. But these mistakes can be easily corrected with a set of Rules do's and don'ts.

Hence The Rules for Online Dating. In this book, you will find out, among other things: Why you must let a man e-mail you first, regardless of how you met him Why not to answer men's ads How to create a good screen name or ad name The right way -- and the wrong way -- to write an online ad How and when to answer men's e-mails and Instant Messages How to do The Rules in any relationship that uses e-mail, no matter whether you first met online or offline How to prevent the relationship from becoming too casual How to not let online men waste your time How to set up the first face-to-face meeting with your e-mail guy "date zero" How to evaluate the quality of an online relationship as it develops Potentially life-saving safety tips You may be wondering at this point: If the premise of The Rules is that a man must pursue a woman and she must be mysterious and challenging, how is that premise going to work on an Internet dating website where you have to post a photo and describe yourself in an ad for all the world to see?

You can definitely retain your mystery and keep yourself from being too available on dating websites and even in chat rooms. Read on, and we will tell you exactly how to apply the basic Rules premise to online and e-mail dating for the best possible results. Read more.
