Perfect!

I thought at first this book might be full of bs. I even started it a year ago disagreeing with the principles. I dated a year without the book and I got plenty of attention. But some of the guys that I really liked seemed to take me for granted and I couldnt understand why. I wondered if I was just too nice to them. Meaning, too available,I would also call and say Hi but they didnt seem to appreciate me. Then I got the book and I realized even though we are in the yr 2007. Men still are very traditional or have a streak or two of the traditonal thinking. When I would suggest going out or initiate a date the guys took me for granted. But when I read the book and let I let them think THEY had the lead well "boom"! I also had to play the game ...like "I am not sure I am interested". GUESS WHAT LADIES....dont be stubborn this stuff works. All of a sudden they are calling me more and asking me out more. Some guys arent swift about knowing we are interested and what is even worse some dont appreciate women who are secure in showing an interest in a guy. Well if they want me to chill and let them do all the work, well guess what I am going to let them.

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!

It really works.....try it!

I saw Lisa Daily explain the Stop Getting Dumped! method on The Other Half and while the audience members tended to disagree with her ideas I was thinking to myself "I totally agree!" everytime she said something. So I had to read the book. Lisa's advice is practical, logical, and it really works. I liken dating with dieting. We know what works, it's just that many of us lack the willpower to follow through. We tend to take the "instant gratification" path, i.e. eating that piece of chocolate cake, or calling that guy. I decided to suck it up and really stick to Lisa's advice and by simply not returning a couple of phone calls, the guy I like is practically putty in my hands. It's THAT SIMPLE. But remember, it's easy to become complacent so you have to stick with it. Even if you think you've already screwed up in the relationship, it's not too late. Please read this book and follow Lisa's advice.

Smart Ideas + Sound Advice + Fun Read= A Great Book!

As a fellow relationship/self-help author I'm always curious what my colleagues are writing about in our unique genre of books. When I first saw this book I thought, "here's a book that the feminists are going to hate....a book about desperate women who have to have a man in order to feel happy and fulfilled."But I was wrong.Here's a book that rightfully (surprisingly based on the book title...but remember not to judge a book by its cover!) teaches enlightened women to take care of themselves, enjoy their relationships, and live the life they've imagined whether it's with a man or not. It's about feminine empowerment and there's nothing that is more feminist than that.As a guy I realize that this book has a certain "girlfriend-to-girlfriend" tone and humor to it. But after all nearly 80% of all self-help books are purchased by women. This book is one that almost all women I'm sure will enjoy and find funny at times.The core of this book is the concept of the "Dream Girl." Lisa Daily has made a major contribution in helping to redefine what a "Dream Girl" is not only for women, but for men as well. I guess she would say that it's about being a "kick-... chick" who's got it together and makes her life really happen in a lot of ways. And as a guy, I think she's right. More traditional guys like myself really want someone we respect, admire, adore, cherish, and value who is smart, sexy, funny, feminine, and in many ways, fearless.I think women readers will find this book very inspirational in a modern "Sex and the City" kind of way. With the pointers in this book a women can have a fantastic job, spend a day each week helping out at a soup kitchen, have a sparkling clean apartment, have the right shoes for any occasion, and also attract the man of her dreams.I'm happy to see that Lisa is teaching women to appreciate the "good guys" who do the traditional respectful things for those he loves and cherishes. We see eye-to-eye on most everything (although we say it in totally different voices and ways) and nowhere are we more aligned than the concept of intelligently separating the men from the boys.For women in search of a great life as well as to attract a great guy as a husband for lifetime passion and intimacy, here's a truly enjoyable book that stands out in our relationship/self-help field. I give this book my highest rating with a big smile.

A very practical advice book for women of any age

Stop Getting Dumped! by dating expert Lisa Daily is a very practical advice book for women of any age or background who seriously desire to find someone to fall in love with and marry in 3 years or less. Daily stresses the importance of not making oneself "too easy" to obtain, and letting the man have enjoy the ingrained desire to pursue and win female affection. Therefore, among the most stringent rules for a an eligible woman are: never ask a man out on a date, never call a man, and never so much as say the word "marriage" to him until he is the one ready to say it. Perhaps the most crucial advice in Stop Getting Dumped! is the importance of building and maintaining one's own life, instead of trying to live "through" a boyfriend or making one's existence dependent on him - which is powerful, sound, and appropriate principle for people of both genders. Written in clear and straightforward language, Stop Getting Dumped! may have some controversial advice, but its core foundation is quite solid and highly worthy of extended consideration.
