I finished it last night. Even if some of her advice sounds stereotypical (i.e., men aren't into redheads or short hair), I think she's pretty wise. Also, her writing partner is Lisa Johnson Mandell, who wrote How to Snare a Millionaire, which is also a great read if you can find it. The book is great! I finished it last night.

And hilarious!!! It's nice to watch the men get chastised for once. And this show makes me glad I don't live in LA.

I think all the male/female stereotypes are inaccurate. I don’t buy #1. I think all the male/female stereotypes are inaccurate.

Of course, I definitely think location has something to do with it (hello, upscale LA hotels), you aren't going to be mistaken for a hooker eating potato skins at Chili's. The important point was that she considers it a good way to meet men. I am not endorsing, just passing on the message...:) Singlutionary,

Number 6 (Get happy), is so what the singlution is all about. I truly believe that if you get happy, not only will you not care if you find mr. right but the chances for meeting wonderful happy people (without even trying) multiply exponentially. Yay for taking responsibility for your own happiness and realizing that your life starts NOW, not after marriage or falling in love. Oh and PS.

Patti might be a little Strange but there is a lot that she says that rings true. #2: People reveal themselves within the first three months. Is this why I've never been in a relationship which has lasted longer than 3 months? I never gave myself credit before for calling it quits so soon but now it seems that I was making the right choice (and not just being impatient or overly critical). #3: Majority of bachelors are virgos. I can second this strange fact. Most guys I've dated are virgos. A virgo here, a virgo there. If I meet a guy and find out that he is a virgo (or a scorpio), I typically go running in the other direction. #5: Eat out Alone. I had no idea that eating out alone EVER implied that you're a prostitute. Wow. Glad someone informed me of that because it might still be assumed in some more conservative places. Although I am pretty sure that I am not likely to be mistaken for a prostitute with my cargo pants and tshirts. Plus, who can afford to go out to eat at a nice place once a week? I guess if that is really fun for you, great. But one thing I love about NOT dating is getting to eat a home. I am addicted to this show also and I found these points fascinating.
