Product Description
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.

 One funny Book for GUYS to read, about women!, 2008-08-05
This is a funny book, because Women wrote this book and its about HOW a woman suppose to act dealing with men and in relationships. You can tell this is a 1970 femeinist group who wrote this book, but its funny, because some of the advice and rules are BOGUS and stupid. A good humor for best. Any woman with a rational brain would use this book to level her coffee table.

Love In The Proper Places, 2008-08-02
These are the "rules" some women attempted to follow to find and marry Mr. Right, not knowing that in actuality, there is no such thing. If the marriagable woman does as she is instructed in this little nonsensical manual, she must follow a simple working set of behaviors to make her irresistible to the right kind of men, not just anyone.
This book claims to be "networking" for success in making a real, lasting marriage and not just loveless mergers. These suggestions may have come in handy back in the Forties and Early Fifties, but not today. We women are liberated individuals and the men are not as worthy of our attention as at that innocent social time. We must be careful just whom we choose and whom and how we love him. Stick with a real man and you won't be disappointed in any way. Sex is not love, but men need it more than the wife. Be accomodating to a point, but be your own person and demand your "space."

Required reading for men!, 2008-07-31
This book is an amazing five-star book for men and should be required reading for all high school males.
Why?
So they can be on the look out for the predatory and highly deranged women that actually use and believe this garbage. I think the only thing they didn't cover in the book was the exact process with which to properly prick a condom with a sewing needle.

Great Ideas, 2008-07-02
I lived by this book when I was single. My best friend and I actually made a pact that we were going to follow the 'rules'. We both met our husbands while following The Rules. They seem a little old-fashioned, but I think they are valid.

I SHOULD HAVE READ THIS BOOK SOONER, 2008-06-28
This book is the best relationship book you'll ever invest in. I always had dead end relationships. I felt like all the guys were using me. When I read this book, I saw all the mistakes that I made with men. I called too much, I was available for last minute dates, I returned phone calls within mintues etc. I did the opposite of every rule in the book!! All my relationships never worked. I almost gave up on love altogether until oneday I went to the bookstore. I was checking on the relationship section and that's where I saw this book. This book is a life saver. Girls, this book is not about game playing it is human nature and we must act accordingly. If you want a satifying relationships that leads to marriage then this is your book.
