highly recommended
Very interesting and useable helpful hints
Very interesting hints and points how to meet people who match with
your intrests
and needs.
Wonderful
I am a Christian, and although this book is not writ
ten from
a Chrsitian viewpoint, the advice is hopeful and excellent!
I read a lot, and this is a substantial (not fluffy) book. Buy it!

Non-sentimental, good advice
It
will probably
make you want to break up with the person you are dating...which may be
why
you are reading the book. I thought the first half of the book was the best part and had some very good points and was insightful. The second half of the book--less interesting. But I did buy it for a few girlfriends who needed to read it.

Step one, find a huge group of availble partners
If you really don't know how to attract a mate, are subconsciously avoiding finding one, or
ten
d to make poor choices....this book is for you. On the other hand, if you would
love
to find the perfect
life partner
but are limited by the number of available people of the same sexual orientation, age, attractiveness or social class, this book
will
not help you. It depends heavily on
your having
a reasonably large dating pool. She makes it sound like everyone has enough people in their social circle to create an endless reject list if necessary.
OUTSTANDING!
I bought this book in 1990 and
still have
my copy with multi-layers of highlighting. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I learned so much and, to this day, I still use the term "psuedo intimacy" in discussions about relationships. (I also refer to "psuedo
love
" which SP does not use in her book but which is clearly inspired by her and inferred.)
From Chapter 6: "Understanding the distinction between pseudo-intimate games and real intimacy is the best defense against getting deeply involved with a person who cannot open up to you, become vulnerable, and share closely in the way a
life
time of living together demands." "...now, a relationship can move from formal to friendly to sexual in the course of one evening. ... The (Closeness Game) game looks and feels like genuine intimacy but leaves you feeling empty in the end."
From Chapter 10: "...if you are still
single because
of a lack of self-awareness and self-acceptance, then all the strategies and techniques in the world won't be very useful to you. A good relationship with
your
self is a prerequisite for a successful relationship with the person you love. If you don't love yourself, you
will place
an unfair and impossible burden on your partner: you will try to get him or her to make you feel good about yourself. ...self awareness is an ongoing, ever expanding process."
That
and much, much more is contained within the pages of this book. Highly, highly, highly recommended. Life-changing (for the better).
