A friend introduced me to the idea behind this book so I had to pick up a copy just to see what the heck she was talking about. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it and interestingly enough, I realized that I've been implementing The Four-Man Plan (with slight modifications) my entire dating career.
Cindy Lu's no scientist. She's not a doctor and she's not a math whiz, either. But one thing that can be said for her is that she is courageous in talking so openly about her past relation...more

I was previewing this book for my teenage daughter. What a shock I got after the language and information in just first paragraph! There is some good advise in this book but it is definitely not appropriate for a teenager to read! The author is very outspoken and blunt. She gives way too much private info about how many men she's slept with. It's kind of disgusting to read about it all. Even though my daughter is not sleeping around, the book did reinforce my opinion that she should not have jus...more
Miss Lu does and excellent job of helping us ladies look in the mirror without getting mired in too much self introspective gazing or running out of the room in terror.
Her humor and honesty in relating her own search-for-the-door-in-a-pitch-black-room experiences in the journey to her own brand of co-committed bliss let me relax and have a little fun at my own expense.

my friend went on and on about this book for aaaaaages before I gave in and promised to read it ... and while it's not really my thing - the message is clear & positive ... the principles make sense ... and it also helped me to see into a few blindspots ... next time I'll listen to my friend sooner
Hilarious! And language is questionable, she is frank, candid, modern woman. This is NOT Ms. Manners on dating. Im not sure if I can handle dating more than one man at a time, but I see her point.
This book changed my life and the way I looked at relationships, for the better!

There's some good stuff in this book about respect and finding oneself, but for the most part it's weighed down in (what I find) a highly improbable math-based dating formula and a crass sense of humor that didn't especially strike my funny bone. It was a quick, entertaining read but not necessarily in a way I enjoyed or found too terribly helpful. A very odd little book.
I did, however, really like her focus on the right dating partner(s) being "honest, loving and willing" and her explanation of...more

i borrowed this from renee and it's pretty entertaining...the author has a kinda kicky style; she's really funny and she's been around so her point of view is realistic and authentic...i mean, i'm not dating more because of it but i'm thinking about it so that must count for something, right? ok, maybe not...
Funny how making something so seemingly serious (turning dating into a mathamatical equation complete with theories, postulates and principles) can make it into something light and funny. Worth a boring, rainy day or a day by the pool for those looking for a slightly different approach.

Just really entertaining with some really smart advice on dating. Really does put the fun back in dating (especially if you like to doodle!)
