Book By: Howard Brian Edgar Jr. and Howard Martin Edgar II
Providing for the boys
When you consider the number of male surfers, it's amazing how few books on online dating target them. The Ultimate Man's Guide to Internet Dating provides a jumpstart for men to get online and find the woman of their dreams.
The book makes some big promises -- that readers will meet "hundreds" of women every week and also that they will be able to find dates on short notice for events or gatherings. But readers first have to follow a carefully planned schedule.
Careful process
The book begins by encouraging readers to first define what they need from the dating process. This can seem obvious, but is all too easy to overlook. The follow-up is to list exactly what is wanted of their perfect mate. Many surfers have the urge to just get out there and see who is available, but this only makes things confused later.
Though understanding one's needs can be difficult, many people are more overwhelmed by the number of dating sites there are. This guide provides ways to assess a site and find the right one. Creating the perfect profile is the next step -- there are many pointers on how to get attention without being gimmicky or overeager.
Once contact has been made, emails form a crucial step towards that all-important but often more forgiving phone call. The book leads men through this potentially tricky procedure, because emails can often convey a very different picture from the one intended.
However, there are always people who will shine in the writing, but not come through as well on the phone. The "phone step" is perhaps the most nerve-wracking -- the one where you know you will be judged by your voice, your degree of comfort, your laugh, and of course what you actually say. Learn how to plan for this stage -- for example, one tip is to have the profile of the person in front of you so that you don't run out of conversation material.
Secret sections
The book also offers some "secrets" such as the section on "reading between the lines of a woman's profile," or of ways to conduct searches for the right women.
As with many authors of this sort of book, the Edgars have found love online. If the correct procedures are followed, men will be heartened to hear that the chances of this happening are high.
The book has some light-hearted moments as well, such as its section on the types of women found online. People who like horoscopes will appreciate the astrology section. If nothing else, it serves as a primer, because star signs are often a topic of conversation.
This book can save many hours of fruitless posting and trawling -- readers have found that they get results in days. Even better, the book is really easy to read. All the information is put across quickly and efficiently, allowing the reader to get out there as quickly as possible.
