About This Book
Targeted primarily at single women looking for a clear formula that
leads in the direction of marriage, Love Smart also aims to refresh
current marriages that feel a bit lacking. Whether readers find it
helpful will depend partially on their sense of humor?Dr. Phil titles
one chapter "Bag 'em, Tag 'em and Take 'em Home", a pretty fair example
of the rest of the jokes and the general attitude of the book's advice.
Marriage is what it's about, and the dating game has specific rules
that, once learned, any "player" can use to succeed. While not quite as
strict as the infamous The Rules, this is a manual that treats marriage
as a prize, winnable only by those who regard old-fashioned rules as the
only possible set.
An early exercise suggests that women make detailed lists of the
qualities they're looking for in a mate; five broad categories cover
everything from social skills to physical appearance. Once a clear
picture is formed of the ideal partner, it all boils down to marketing.
Dr. Phil discusses conversation skills such as developing "icebreaker"
questions and even digs up some of the old-school techniques that
suggest checking headlines just to offer up-to-date topics, and making
sure to ask questions about your date, rather than revealing much about
yourself. Suggestions for internet dating are included in a separate
chapter, and later chapters go into specific questions that cover
personal background and relationship history in great detail.
The combination of new school humor with old-fashioned advice will
appeal to women who are looking for both a plan for partnership and
goofy jokes to lighten the pressure. Dr. Phil offers both in spades.
