Like 'The Rules', half of this book is common sense, and half is sexist claptrap. It's the 21st century. The idea that women need lives of their own is no longer revolutionary. If you need to be told this, you don't have a man problem, you have a major self-esteem problem.As for the rest, it's basic game playing. I'm sure it works, but what kind of prize do you win? I don't know a single decent guy who would repeatedly call a woman who didn't return his overtures. There's a difference between gallantry and stalking.That being said, the book is cute, so it deserves a star for the message's presentation.
