"Without giving away too much of the book, I do want to share some great quotes that I pulled from Stanger. She's a very successful, beautiful and smart individual. Listen up, ladies!
"As soon as you say, 'I'm not going to date for a while,' the bus unloads. Don't go out with them, but make sure you take reservations. Remember, the best restaurants are booked weeks in advance, why not you? You're worth waiting for."
"Think of yourself as a great wine - you're only getting better and more valuable with age. When the right occasion comes along and that wine is uncorked, it will be the best, most delicious nectar the lucky partaker has ever experienced. But that will only happen if happiness is a major ingredient."
"If you feel sexy, you're more inclined to look sexy. Sexy is a confident, fun loving, happy, sensuous, approachable state of mind that no man can resist."
"Don't think of him as the prize for which you're competing against hundreds of other women. YOU are the prize, and HE needs to please you just as much as you need to please him.""
"Patti Stranger is indeed strange. I don't like her attitude towards men (personally, I think she has issues with the opposite sex rooted in a firm resentment) -- but what I did like was some of the advice she gave regarding how to approach the initial days of dating someone new. She encourages women to let the men behave like men and to expect that from them and nothing else. In that regard, it's worked for me.
However, it's not all the greatest advice, but some of it is practical. You can tell it stems from her matchmaking service, which I don't think is a fair representation of the general population (but some population is better than none if you're going to draw some conclusions). Because of this, I think she is focused too much on superficiality instead of reality.
My main problem with this book is her focus on "getting the ring." She assumes that every woman is out for a diamond ring first and foremost. I think there is a very big difference between finding a lasting partnership and hunting for a guy to buy you a diamond ring. I'm not sure if the author really grasps the difference in that."
"Though I'm already matched, I was tempted to read this book after watching Patti's Bravo show. In my opinion, Patti's 'rules' are more logical and easily applied than other major bestsellers in this category. This is a fun easy read that made me appreciate all the more what a perfect husband my spouse is."
