I'm forty something I'll. Be fabulous and fifty next year! This book is for all ages because the dating game does not change no matter what age you are.  Picasso said" it takes decades to be truely young"  dating and sexuaility is vibrant at any age! Ian and his wife have given great insite on relationships and intimacy. They are wise before their time. I read this book in three hours! That's only because I went out for dinner. Lol

I watched my life unfold in the pages! I laughed out loud ! Something I haven't been able to do in years!  I identified with each and every scenario and made use of the information as it unfolded my growrh thruogh my life being single.

There are helpful suggestions and points to take home. If you read with closed eyes, mind and soul. Well you'll miss the underlying message and experience of the points Ian and his wife bring to light.

It was more than a good read and I will read it again. And use it as a reference point!

GREAT JOB IAN

Thanks,  to the both of you.

It doesn't matter if you are 16 and just starting out or 60 and starting over...this book not only will give you purpose and direction to dating, it will help you find the joys of being single! Divorced myself, I have learned some of what Victorya has to say the hard way, but you don't have to. This book has been perfect for me in my journey to finding God's best for me, and I am sure anyone who reads it will agree.

I was looking for a book that would help me increase my self esteem, inspire me, and lift me up. Over the years I found that most other things that have that effect, vacations, counseling, etc. are expensive. This book cost so little to change my life and give me a new outlook. I was finding that most similar books were designed for young girls and preteens. I'm not at the age where I'm in the situations presented in the other books. I needed something for independent adult women who are a little young at heart, perhaps. After reading the little excerpt here, I was sold. I wish I'd heard of Wild Sister Magazine sooner.

My favorite part of this book is the way there are so many small chapters so you don't feel like you have to commit to reading the whole thing at once. There's short articles and long articles in many different subject areas, so you can pick up and read even if you have a busy life. I feel like this book recharges me. It's a little bit of gas in the spiritual/emotional gas tank. Sometimes that's all we need until we get to the next station in life. I don't know how else to say it but this book really spoke to me. I feel like it would be a wonderful gift for a woman in your life; a mother, a friend, a daughter, a girlfriend... (I asked for mine for my birthday) I've already recommended the book to 3 people I know. I'd lend it out but I'm not letting mine go!

It's also long... I checked the length before ordering just to assure myself I was getting a good value. It's about 400 pages long and the size of the book is still petite enough to put in the purse or take with you on travels. It's simply perfect and I love this book! <3 I'm trying to keep it nice but I'm loving it to pieces.

I actually bought this because of the title, for women over 45 - this is a really good book with great tips, ideas, information on makeup, clothes, dressing for your figure and age while still looking great and not "old".  I shared this book with my friends, we all love it and pass it around. It is very easy reading and a fun book.

I turned 40 a couple of years ago and found myself single for the first time in 15 years. I wish I had read this book when I first started dating again! Now two years later have learned a lot on my own but this book is helping me understand much more such as some simple red flags to look for if a man is really interested or not.  It's an easy read and makes me think about what I really want.

The book is truly interesting for all women no matter their age, that are dating.  There is sound and helpful pointers for women that are married as well as single.  Steve inserts advice for the teenager that is dating up to the senior citizen women (cougars)that are dating, for the smart intelligent (college degrees/independent) to the down right stupid and ghetto women, for unattractive to the most desirable women and lastly for the saved (christian) to the straight up hooker (lady of the evening/red light special women).  I am over 50 and some of the advice I figured it out by the "games" that were already played on me but it is inspiring to know that I was on target with some advice as well as learned some new advice.  I like the fact that Steve's book cover and suit are white because "the game" has no color!  Thanks, Mr. Steve Harvey from K.D. Morton in NJ.

Super fun, quick, easy read with lots of excellent tips.  Didn't feel it pushed the cosmetic line that much, just encouraged us all to take care of our skin and add a touch of make up!  Fashion ideas were pretty good, too... it's easy to go out looking frumpy, but if you think about what Dimitri is saying, it's not that hard to amp it up a bit and wear something cuter.  Why not?  I loved this book and I'm almost 60.  I think it's great for any age.

If only I had this book years ago when I first got divorced. It was not easy dating let alone with all the different social media! This book touches on every situation a newly single person will need to know out there.  What I love most about this book is it doesn't just guide you in dating it also helps show what you may be putting out there in a relationship and what your actions might be telling your partner. Overall Antonio and Theresa did a beautiful job writing this book I am thankful I found it!!

I procured this little book nearly two years ago and while I was loving it, it was simply too bulky of a read for me to keep pace with for where I was mentally at the time. However, when I picked it up again, I dove right into All the Single Ladies and enjoyed the whole thing! This lovely little book consists of Traister situating single women within America's history, culture, and society. This means that at times, it can feel like reading a socio-cultural textbook, which may be too heady for your interests (in definitely was for me two years ago), but if you parse it out instead of trying to read straight through in a handful of days, it's a delight!

Traister recounts historical moments and movements related to women gaining independence and sprinkles in lots of wonderful interviews about women claiming their piece of the pie and how partnerships (either romantic or friendship-based) can help or hinder their goals. Traister wonderfully captures a variety of women's experiences across race, age, sexuality, economic resources, job interests, family dynamics, geographical location, and beyond. I especially loved her chapter on lady friendships (Chapter 4: "Dangerous as Lucifer Matches: The Friendships of Women") because that is a topic that always makes me feel giddy, thankful for my amazing friends, personally empowered, and inspires me to continue watering my friendships with love and support. This chapter alone is everything that I had hoped  Text Me When You Get Home would have been.

I thoroughly recommend reading this book, then sharing it one of your besties, and then showering each other in appreciation and support and encouraging each other to achieve your goals!!

This book is so great for those of us out here still trying to find a mate.....I am a divorced woman over 50 and this is a great refresher course, especially when you are dealing with sex-starved men our age who came from a loveless marriage.  Most of them, not all, are just dying to have a playmate!  If you are looking for more, this book really helps weed them out!!! Thank you Greg and Samira!

Being thrown back into the dating world, I figured it would be helpful to get some advice in reading this book that had been showcased on an Oprah show. I had some pretty good chuckles and a few gasps (self-professing - OMG I DID THAT! moments). I agreed with most everything they said - particularly that our singles world needs to slow down!

I am a believer that women and men should read this book. It reaffirms that boundaries need to be set and chivalry needs to come back into our lives.

A good, lighthearted read!

"Middle-aged" women should not be written off as being dull and boring. Lots of life and fun is still in us!

I am currently reading this book now, And I love it! The book is broken in to topics that are wonderful for women of any age to relate to. I am not in to self help books, but I am learning and growing as a women and as a Christian because of this book! Topics include Personal growth, Encouragement, Change, Relationships, Struggles and Hardships, Reflections, and Mediations. Under each topic are short(usually a page or two) little stories( about her life, life in general, and how it relates to each of us.) Joni offers unique quotes to ponder as well as bible quotes related to these topics to mediate on. I usually take one a night as I lay in bed to help me relax, and reflect on my day. I am glad I bought this book, and I plan on getting copies for my sisters, friends, and niece. Yes, her insights are right on, and I can relate to them, and parts of her insights make me laugh. If you are looking for a book to help you get through" life's little or big bumps"  then this is the book for you!

As a middle aged woman who recently left a long term relationship to be alone, I found this book to be a huge help.  It's a little scary, but to read how so many other women handled it, and did so with strength and courage was fantastic! The writing style is not boring and all research-y, it is readable and full of anecdotes.  I recommend it for those of you who choose (or end up) to be alone.

No Plus One is definitely an anthem text for single woman everywhere! However, I would also say that it's a great read for women who are in relationships because ultimately this book is about being strong, knowing who you are, and taking care of yourself. Those tasks could be done when your single and when you're matched up with your prince charming! No Plus One was a fun and quick read, the homework challenges are also super fun and encourage the reader to possibly step outside of their comfort zone and try something new in order to reboost their sense of being a strong single woman. Each of the lessons at the end of the chapters would make the best refrigerator magnets as constant reminders that being single is not synonymous with being alone, unworthy, or boring. Being single CAN and should be synonymous with being fierce, confident, and true to your awesome self, No Plus One provides stories and a guide to get all of us single girls to that point!

This book had me laughing from page 1, nodding along, sighing, and yes, there were a couple of "Ah ha!" moments.  I love knowing that I am not alone in being sometimes perplexed at this aging thing, and it's great to hear the opinions and experiences of the many women whose comments appear in the book.  It'll be next to my bed for years to come, a warm and useful resource for reassurance and wisdom.  As a woman in my 50s, it's heartening to hear that many other women are similarly confused & bemused by this strange stage of life.  And I think men might find it useful too - a little window into our world!
