[.ca] Stop Getting Dumped (ISBN 0452283833)

Unrealistic advice:
While I admit that I am not nearly as experienced as the author, I know enough to realize that while much of the advice is useful, a lot of it is not very good or useful. For instance, it is downright rude to not return a guy's call. He will stop calling if you don't return his calls. Also, in the book "Why men marry some women and not others" statistics show that it was the woman who first brought up commitment and marriage a majority of the time, while Lisa Daily contends that a woman should never ever say the word marriage. Also, most of her advice seems to be based on the fact that "it worked for my friends and me, and we're all happily married" which doesn't seem like a necessarily good basis for judgment. There is some good advice however. The holding out before having sex is very good advice, and her comment that a man should always pick up a woman and pay is useful as well. The problem is, her good advice seems to be mixed with bad. Why Men Love Bitches is definately a better, more practical book.

Just one word: AWESOME!:
I wandered into a bookstore, like "love's refugee", on what seemed like the end of my 2.5 year relationship with a wonderful guy. I didn't know what I was doing to push him away, and I felt so helpless. I stumbled upon this book. I became engrossed and read all about the things I shouldn't have been doing, and immediately started doing the suggestions offered in this book. The changes I implemented were the following: I became busy, I was happy with my life, I spoke positively, I stopped pressuring him to marry me, I didn't even -mention- marriage anymore, I stopped calling him, and I stopped acting possessive and jealous. A 180-degree shift took place immediately. He started acting so happy to be around me. Six weeks to the day after I started using the philosophy in this book, he asked me to marry him. We're planning a March wedding. We're both happier than we've ever been. This book saved me. Thank you Thank you Thank you so much, I can never thank you enough Lisa Daily!

Hey Ronnie Clay of Louisiana, get a dictionary. Your spelling and grammar make you look like an idiot. And stop writing reviews when it's dollar night at your trailer park tavern!!!

Advice to catch a game player:
Her main advice is don't call a man...I understand that men like a little chase, but if you want to continue to play games and/or show a man that you are uninterested (by not calling him back), then buy this book. Her advice is dated.

Fantasy thoughts...:
I read this book months ago and at first I thought it was pretty good but then after reading about how the author and her friends got their men to propose marriage on top of the Eiffel Tower and other "fantasy" places it seemed too unrealistic. Things like that happen but not for everyone. Lisa Daily is in a dreamland. She was lucky to find the man she did who keeps "after her" and she sits back and enjoys it. The tactics in this book work for some people but not for all. This book is similiar to "The Rules" which is unrealistic expectations and if every woman out there thought all of these ideas and manipulations could possibly work she's dreaming as well as Ms. Daily. Some of these authors who experience something fantastic find it helps others if they print about their experiences. Not true for normal people who want normal relationships. I would just like to have my guy spend more time with me and if he asked me to marry him it could be at a beach or on a picnic - he wouldn't have to go through the hassles of flying me across the country to do it. Nice but not necessary. However, this book provided fairytale entertainment that should be considered reading for fantasy wants and dreams.
