Great book

I read this and found it was one of the few books out there that give some useful information on this topic. Nice job!

Terrific book for anbody for wanting online dating advice

I met my beautiful bride-to-be Cynthia via an
online dating service . . . consequently, the subject
of online romances has fascinated me ever since . . . and so
when I came across I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M BUYING THIS BOOK!
by Evan Marc Katz, I just had to read it if only because of its
subtitle: A COMMONSENSE GUIDE TO SUCCESSFUL
INTERNET DATING.

I was curious to see whether the author used some of the
same techniques I used to catch Cynthia's eye . . . also, I wanted
to see if the advice he gave others was as clever as his
own personal ad: "Funny Guy with Killer Body and Money to
Burn Seeks Woman Who Doesn't Believe Everything She Reads."

I was not disappointed . . . I CAN'T BELIEVE is a terrific book,
not only for those seeking an online date--but for just about
anybody needing to market a product or service . . . in addition,
it contains a lot of advice that could be used for those job hunting.

Katz presents much useful advice in a humorous fashion that
had me laughing--and thinking at the same time . . . he went
through every step of the process and what he says
is applicable to both guys and gals.

There were many useful suggestions; among them:
You can apply this to anything that might initially seem specific.
"Sports, community service, and travel" may give a reader a glimpse
into your interests. Contrast that with "I've been ice-skating since
before I could walk; twice a month, I volunteer to cheer up residents
at an old-age home; and I just returned from two weeks on a guided
back-packing tour of the Amazon Basin." These kinds of specifics
not only make you more interesting, but if a reader can find some
connection with you in your essays, if what you write sounds like
you're talking directly to her, she's more likely to feel that you're
what she's looking for. With just a few extra strokes on the keyboard,
you've now piqued her interest. If you've written her first, it will at
least be enough to get her to write you back so that you can open
up a dialogue.

There are those who maintain that they simply cannot imagine being
discovered by anyone they know seeing their face on the Internet.
To these people, I say one thing: "If someone is looking at your
picture on an online dating website, then, guess what? They're online
dating themselves." In short, there's nothing to be embarrassed
about. The perceived stigmas attached to online dating are gone.
(And if they're not, boy, am I going to be embarrassed when this
book turns into a best-seller and Oprah wants to interview me and
I have to admit on national television that I'm an "expert" at online
dating. How horrifying.)

What will ultimately differentiate you from everyone else who is sending
her email is your comment on her profile. Find something that stood
out in her essays and give a quick but thoughtful one paragraph response
to it. From this, she'll know two things: 1) you've read her essays and
2) you have something in common. Congratulations. You've just
leapt ahead of 80 percent of the other emails she's received.

I can't believe so few follow his advice

I was skeptical that I could learn much from a book on this subject, but I'd been dissatisfied with my profile for long enough that I needed to try something different. Much of the book said fairly obvious things, but the examples in pages 36 through 39 of how to turn dull text into something informative and entertaining were exactly what I needed. Careful rereading of those pages as I rewrote my profile has helped me turn it into something I'm almost satisfied with.
Now if only some guys that I would find interesting would follow his advice so I could distinguish them from the crowd...

Good book

The book was well written and very hopeful. I brought up some really good point I'd never have thought of. Also the best part, was that it was really, really funny.

Funny, smart, down-to-earth and "get to it!" guide

Being in and out of online dating for some years, this book was a great find, and it will be for many more. The author provides a clear guide for everything related to online dating, like selecting a website, the photo, writing essays, and more. His style is funny and realistic, which makes it a less hard blow on one's ego when you read all your mistakes and why they don't work. Some of the most common mistakes the author mentions in some sections I've learned the hard way, save yourself the trouble and get this book. Many examples (for both good things to write and the no-no's) will help you on your next adventure in the world of online ads.
