The
Online Dating Rules For Women
Many people have probably heard of the
bestseller “The Rules,” a book written by Ellen Fein and Sherrie
Schneider in 1995 that taught women about the do’s and don’ts of
dating. However, with the trend in people turning to online dating,
Ellen and Sherrie have come up with yet another hit read, “The
Rules for Online Dating.” This book is a must have for any girl
looking for Mr. Right on the world wide web – after all, finding
the man of your dreams in such a monstrous frenzy has literally
become like trying to find a needle in a hay stack!
Answers For All Questions!
Online dating can
be extremely daunting, especially for those new to the scene. “The
Rules for Online Dating” answers many of the questions that come to
mind when we think about online dating, including questions such
as: Should I post my picture? What should my ad say? Should I try
and force the relationship from email to phone? What’s a good
length of time before meeting my match? The book goes through a
series of do’s and don’ts that will hopefully cull out the
“maybes”, revealing the right man for you.
The
List Of Rules
All online dating rules listed
in the book are based on three premises: A man must initially feel
a spark for the woman; the man must pursue the woman; and all men
love a challenge. There are sixteen rules in all, including how to
create a good screen name, post a smiling photo, wait 24 hours to
respond, and never email someone a second time if he neglects to
respond to your email initially. All rules are explained using
scenarios as well as offering advice on what to do in those awkward
situations.
Could
This Be The Secret To Success…?
“The Rules For Online Dating” book appears to be
based around traditional methods of using basic male courtship to
cull out the winners. However, in the 21st century such a method
may also allow one to skim over Mr. Right based on the more
feministic view of the equality of the sexes. For instance, say a
potential Mr. Right happens to be shy. A rule such as “don’t offer
your phone number first” may eliminate the possibility of a meeting
between your ever taking place, since he might be waiting for you
to offer your cell number to him! Because of this, keep in mind
that “The Rules for Online Dating” book may not be fool proof.
However, it may offer suggestions to help online daters to cull out
the weirdoes, the rude, and the down-right obnoxious.
