The book offers practical, down-to-earth coaching-presented from a woman's point of view with flair and a sense of humor. It uses the analogy of shopping for a new outfit to guide women through the steps in finding the right man, from cleaning out her emotional wardrobe of old relationships and old ideas to deciding just what kind of man she really wants, and even scouting the likely places she'll find "him."
"The smart woman is the ultimate educated consumer, the one who knows what she needs and won't settle for anything less-especially when she is shopping for a man," according to McDonald. Some of the chapter titles suggest the kind of shopping trip she takes with her readers: Cleaning Out Your Closet, The Shopping List, Window Shopping, Your Personal Shopper, The Marketing Plan, Buyer Beware!, The Fitting Room, Shopping Online, Going Out of Business, Alterations, Cash or Charge?, and The Final Purchase.
Some of the places Lynn takes her readers in search of the right man-after they've done their house cleaning and homework-include the Jiffy Lube on a Saturday morning, boat shows, wine tasting events, the Harley-Davidson dealership, Toys 'R' Us and the Porsche showroom. The book's orderly approach to finding a mate is sure to give women the confidence to accept only the best man for them.
She suggests women network with family, friends and business acquaintances to narrow their shopping list and schedule brief 15-minute coffee breaks that could develop later into first dates. And she offers extensive lists of questions for women to ask themselves and others before making a final "purchase." Throughout, the author's warmth, wisdom and practical common sense help make it easy for women to follow her suggestions.
"How to Use Your Shopping Skills to Get a Man" is good advice, and good medicine, for women of all ages including the never married, widowed, and been-there-done-that cynic. It empowers women to use a methodical-but fun-approach to what may be the most important decision of their life.
As a special bonus, purchasers of the book are eligible for a free, no-obligation, one-month trial membership from PerfectMatch.com(tm) -- a $59.95 value.
