NoMarriage.com - Majority of American women have Histrionic and Narcissistic disorders
i read this and laughed aloud for a good 5 minutes, despite the fact that i'm sick again and my head feels like it's in a vice. the reason i found this post?
it was in a reader's review of the book the rules. roomie and i were talking about funny xmas books to get ppl, and i suggested he get me this one, given my hysterically failing love life. here is the reader's review:
Personality disorders, November 23, 2004
Reviewer: J.J. - See all my reviews
The concepts behind The Rules explain why more than 50% of marriages in America are failure. The authors apparently mistook being rude as being interesting, and playing hard-to-get as being snobbish. Unfortunately, they did summon a flock of followers. Sad but true, women who suffer from personality disorders tend to buy in these Rules concepts. See more in the following link.

Overall, this book misleads women into thinking Mr. Right should be submissive and obsessive to them. In reality, quality men aren't like that. Successful men and women are too busy and occupied to deal with the immaturity in these rules. Playing hard to get is an art of seduction. Seduction techique varies depending on the individuals. It is far from prudent to name a set of rules for all. I recommend to bypass this illy written book.
**note: and in case you've never heard of this book, my fellow male readers, i'd highly recommend it. because if you find a woman who is playing these games, dump her b*tt asap.
