Having met my soul mate through online dating over five years ago, I was interested to see if any of the advice contained in this brief handbook reflected any of my own experiences. While the author sometimes comes across as playfully crude, I have to admit that many (if not most) of the "assumptions" he lists in regard to gleaning information from profiles is accurate. I dislike generalities, but it remains undeniably true that the person who chooses not to post a photo on their profile is likely to be hiding an uncomfortable truth. Lothario outlines an exhaustive online dating strategy that, apparently, worked for him.Personally, I entered the world of online dating with no expectations and communicated with the women in a straightforward and honest manner. That method resulted in my finding the woman with whom I plan to spend the rest of my life. But that’s just me. Nonetheless, I found this short book to be highly amusing and entertaining, and well worth the purchase price. I’ll give it four stars for that reason alone.
