   Ok, this book was difficult for me to rate. I loved the book itself. . . it’s a great read and gives tons of good advice if you’re looking to meet someone online.

   However, I took the book’s advice and ended up meeting someone online (so it DOES work). I met this guy on a site called catch27. com, and he seemed really awesome when I chatted with him online and talked with him on the phone. BUT, when we met in person, he was terrible! Rude, loud, and obnoxious. . . the date was just aweful!

   Now I understand that this was just one experience, but it’s made me question the idea of meeting people online – you can never be sure of what you’re going to get. So, while the book is a wonderful and interesting read, make sure you’re really ready to meet someone online before you take any of its advice!

   I laughed from the first page until the last. It is also filled with intelligent, insightful, useful information on the internet dating scene. This book is worth every penny and will save you time and energy when you decide to take the Match. com plunge!

   Really enjoyed the book. . . lots of humor, lots of great information to help those who are currently online dating or those who have been thinking about it. Bev gives you a lot of great tidbits, lots of things you need to look for in a “dating mate” before taking the “plunge” and wasting your time and your heart! Nothing like getting all excited about the perfect “date” and then finding out later in the dating process that they leave out that little fact of . . . Oh I am married or have a girlfriend, guess it just slipped my mind when I asked you out! Lots of other great info. . . a must to read before going out into the online dating world. !!!!

   As a “seasoned” online dater, I can honestly say that following Bev Bacon’s advice will make your online life much better and easier! I’ve read the other books, and rather than rehash the same old tired, cookie-cutter BS that fills other internet dating books and websites, this book provides a proven framework that you can use to be original, interesting and attractive. Practically every internet dater makes the same mistakes and ends up as just another (boring) face in the crowd. Read this book and learn how to avoid those mistakes, and learn how to stand out from the crowd and get noticed. I love good comedy and not only is the book’s information dead-on accurate, her writing style will make you laugh ’til your face hurts. Here’s your chance, get it and get dates!

   Don’t waste your money. I bought this book and read it cover to cover without gleaming an ounce of useful information. Firstly it is primarily geared towards women, not much useful in there for us guys. That being said unless you are a 5 year old girl or have been kept in a box your entire life, all the suggestions are plain and simple common sense. The book has numerous stories of Bev Bacons’ encounters with dates. There is absolutely nothing funny or out of the ordinary about her dates. It just goes to show that no one is perfect. As one would think the ultimate goal of Internet dating is to find a long term partner I was left wondering why the author spent so many years dating. Maybe it is her that has a problem! The only useful information that I took home from reading the book I gained from reading between the lines. This is that the internet will attract those who like “shopping” for their dates. So if you meet someone who loves shopping run away, run away, because next week when you are out of fashion they will be back on the internet looking for something bigger and better. Alternatively if you are out of work consider doing the same as the author, write a book about common sense things to do, then spend a year dating normal people and write a book about it, then con loads of people into buying it.
