Review # 1 was written on 2009-06-14 00:00:00 Gate Morel After I read this I made a list (like it suggests in the book) about what I wanted in a lifelong partner. I started dating David shortly thereafter and realized that he had more than the suggested 80% of qualities that I was looking for in a mate. We got engaged 8 months later.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-11-24 00:00:00 Ben Bramley Yes, I have this book. And yes, it's on audio tape. Whilst taking a leisurely drive home from Maryland to New York a few months ago, I stopped off at this depressing little outlet mall in Delaware. They had one of those cheap bookshops and outside, a rack with $1 audio books. Audio books, NPR, Prairie Home Companion, I love it all while driving so I thought I'd take a look. The best thing there was this Dr. Phil book and since hey, I'm a fool when it comes to love I thought why not? Well, after spending 3 hours listening, I'm still a fool but at least one who has had drilled into her head by a screaming Texan that I shouldn't date drunks, emotional retards, drug addicts and homeless people. Thanks Dr. Phil. There was one part at the end though that I enjoyed, where he made you write out a list of all the attributes you would want your ideal mate to have- from the physical to the emotional. A list that goes beyond dark hair and likes kids. It has choices on there that make you really think about who you would want to be with, "someone who plans parties, goes to parties, hates parties," "adventurous, likes to stay home, never know what he will come up with next," etc etc. It may sound silly, but I thought it helped.
