To Those of You who gave it two stars, and called it callous.
“It is obvious that those who dissed this book do not know the authors intentions. He did not write it to show you his many disasters in dating. He wrote it to tell you what to do and not do on a date. His main point is that men and women are different. Men use their words for signals, but with women you have to look at the body language and mannerisms along with what she tells you. He gives an account about how while playing a volleyball game he asked a girl for her number. When he went out on a date with her she told him that she was on a dating sabatical. They continued on with the evening, and by interpreting the signs he made a move, and a couple weeks later they were dating. Now this is not a book about how to create long term relationships. It is a book about how to get your foot in the door o you can work your own way into a relationship.”

Decent dating advice, great stories!
“This book was recommended to me by a friend and I'm glad that I decided to purchase it. I'm in a "book club" so to speak, in which we study the social sciences and while "God" isn't exactly heavy on helping one improving their social skills, the book was never touted as such. What it does deliver on is funny, often times hilarious tales of a traveling comedian's dating disasters and the lessons he learns along the way.

Boring and monotonous
“Dragged on and halfway through I couldn't finish it. This guy is the type of guy who thinks he is funnier than he actually is. Many other books out there that are similar and more entertaining. I think a lot of these 5-star reviews are contrived.”

Entertaining but not that insightful
“When I heard this book was by a comedian I was expecting it to be hilarious since there is so much material that can be derived through dating, but it's not particularly funny. The dating advice this book has is decent, although pretty basic (which in my opinion is all that matters but it just isn't that interesting to read). The value this book had to me was that the stories are pretty interesting but they aren't going to shock you unless you and your friends were hermits in college and have never heard slutty stories or anything like that. There's a guy called Max Tucker who has some more outrageous stories which you can get online- just google him.”
