The Rules: Time Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right
- Book Review,
by Ellen Fein

Amazon.com
An unexpected bestseller, this self-help book for women who want to hook a man seems to have struck a chord with desperate American women. Fein and Schneider, whose main credentials seem to be that they are married, lay out the rules to be followed for successfully snagging a dream hunk. And these rules are hard as cast-iron--Rule Five: Don't Call Him and Rarely Return His Calls. The idea is to return to pre-feminist mind games, exploiting the male hunting urge by playing hard to get. The result seems unliberating--Rule Seventeen: Let Him Take the Lead--but it seems to be capturing female minds. Rules Girls are eyeing the phone with steely resolve, and Rules seminars are springing up nationwide. Curious bachelors have been observed studying The Rules, some frowning, others with the supercilious smile of the hunter.

Time, Elizabeth Gleick
The Rules is not just a book; it's a movement.

The Rules: Time Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right

FROM OUR EDITORS

This little book is filled with advice to those looking for, getting the attention of, and creating a bond with that special man (and some tips for holding on to Mr. Right if he's already in your life). The "Rules" are solid, waste little time, and get right to the point -- some readers may think they're a little old-fashioned. Read it and reap from it some rules to think on...Some examples of the Rules (which are fully explained): How to Act on Dates 1, 2, and 3; Stop Dating Him if He Doesn't Buy you a Romantic Gift for Your Birthday or Valentine's Day; Don't Accept a Saturday Night Date After Wednesday; Be Honest But Mysterious; Be Easy to Live With; and more, including advice on dating in high school and college; dating tips for women with children.

ANNOTATION

A simple set of dos and don'ts, this book will lead readers where they want to be--in a healthy, committed relationship. Whether the reader is 18 or 80, a beauty queen or a woman with ordinary looks, The Rules will work for her. As seen in Cosmopolitan, American Woman and Woman's Own magazines.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Following the success of the New York Times bestseller How to Marry the Man of Your Choice, The Rules is a blunt, effective, controversial, funny, and definitive guide to marrying the man of your dreams. The Rules will be featured on an Oprah show, set to air close to Valentine's Day.

SYNOPSIS

You are a creature unlike any other (Rule #1)--that's why you need . . . The Rules. A simple set of dos and don'ts, The Rules will lead you to where you want to be: in a healthy, committed relationship. Unlike today's haphazard dating customs, The Rules recognizes certain facts of life. That men know what they want. That a man is either attracted to you--or not! That men want a challenge, not an instant or easy victory. When you follow these commonsense guidelines, you treat yourself with respect and dignity--and demand that men do likewise. Although they sound old-fashioned ("Don't see him more than once or twice a week"), they encourage you to lead a full, satisfying, busy life--outside of romance. Although they seem tough ("Don't talk to a man first"), they will teach you how to accept occasional defeat and move on. And although they require discipline ("No more than casual kissing on the first date"), they will bring out the best in you and in the men you date. The goal? Marriage, in the shortest time possible, to a man you love, who loves you even more than you love him.
