I was over at my local Planned Parenthood today, getting my 90 day supply of magic happy pills, and I decided to take my $4 in change over to the used bookstore to see what was available. I’ve been looking for a copy of Andrew Neiderman’s “Sister, sister” for about 10 years now. “The Need” would be cool, too, but Neiderman must sell like six books per run because they are impossible to find. Didn’t find it, of course, but I managed to get a slightly less battered copy of Pride and Prejudice. No, that’s not your present.

I found your present in the 50-cent book sale shelf outside the store. “How to Succeed With Women” by Ron Louis and David Copeland. Ron authored a book called Sexpectations, and David leads seminars. They know everything there is to know about getting women, so after we read it together, we’ll know more about men, and more about ourselves. Do you see what we have here? Complete and total understanding of both sexes for a quarter a gender! You can’t get 12 ounces of soda for that price.

They have been mentioned in or have written about dating in Playboy, Maxim, Men’s Fitness, Men’s Health, Gallery, GQ Active, The London Times, Swank, Maxim UK, Cosmopolitan, YM, Playgirl, Mademoiselle, Bitch, Single Times, AVN, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, and many others. They and their book were mentioned in John Katz’s novel, Geeks.

Mentioned in OR written for, eh? Sounds promising. Anyway, the book is billed as a “serious, no-holds-barred answer to The Rules gives single and divorced men a step-by-step guide for romantic success. Covers everything from how to meet women to making romance happen.”

So, I’m thinking about waiting until I can get a copy of The Rules from the library, so that we may compare the Rules to the “11 foolproof icebreakers for any situation” and the “8 great ‘babe baits’ that bring women to you.” Call me suspicious, but I bet they don’t say the same thing at all.
