I sent a copy of the book to my dad, not really expecting him to read it. My dad is a terrific guy and recently divorced after 32 years of marriage. I talked with him last night and he mentioned that he was ready to get online and start dating!!!! For my dad to say that is HUGE!!! I’m actually flying out next week to help him set up the computer I am giving to him. I don’t
know if he has ever been on the Internet. He said the book made so much sense and made it sound so easy that he was ready to get out there.
Thank you, Judsen Culbreth, for writing a book that will help my dad find someone just as great as he is.

I enjoyed reading this very much . . . there is a lot of good information about the online dating experience with resources and ideas. It was a lot of fun to read . . . . Judsen has an irreverant sense of humor and a quick wit so that you don’t take it all so seriously but can get serious about trying it!

This is a great book and I highly recommend it if you are in your mid-40s or beyond and looking to find the man of your dreams. Despite the title, the book is geared to women. It’s a great primer to online dating, helping you find your way through dating internet sites, preparing a profile and the steps between getting a “wink” and getting married.
What I also like about this book is that Judsen takes time to help you reflect on past loves and determine what went right and what went wrong. She also takes you through all the steps of setting up your profile and responding to emails on dating sites, as well as “dos and don’ts” that will help you get noticed by the men you really want to attract.
If you are dating, get this book.

The title understates the scope of this book. It is a comprehensive relationship guide for Baby Boomer women who want to find a husband over the internet. Judsen Culbreth was successful in finding her husband this way and her stories throughout the book remind us of her success. There is much useful information on internet dating. But first there are a series of questionnaires to determine if you are “relationship-ready. ” Her chapter comparing the features of various online services is very helpful. Her guidance for developing a profile, carrying on e-mail correspondence, and safety tips are very good. She even has a chapter on “chemistry and sex” which is geared to the needs of peri-menopausal women. The final chapter recommends a schedule for a year of dating before sealing the relationship with marriage.
A great deal of this information is useful to men, but the audience is clearly intended to be women. For general relationship guidance along with a lot of information about online dating, this book is a good choice for Baby Boomer women.

Culbreth’s book is more than a how to for internet dating. It forces us to reflect on who we really are and what we really want from a potential mate. For those who have been too timid to try online dating, Culbreth offers warm persuasive and encouraging advice. For those who have tried online dating, Culbreth gives you a road map on the best way to sell yourself. If you are over the age of 35, and want to be with someone, read this book. Trust Culbreth; it works.
