About this listen
How long should I wait to respond to his text message? Can I friend him on Facebook? Why did he ask for my number but never call me? /p>
When The Rules was published in 1995, its message was straightforward: be mysterious. But for women looking for love today, it's not quite so simple. In a world of instant messaging, location check-ins, and status updates, where hook-ups have become the norm and formal one-on-one dates seem a thing of the past, it's difficult to retain the air of mystery that keeps men interested.
Now, with help from their daughters, the original Rules Girls, Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider, share their thoroughly modern, fresh take on dating that will help women in today's information age create the happy love lives they want and deserve. Whether you're a 20-something dating for the first time, a 30-something tired of being single, a 40-something giving advice to your daughter, or a 50-something getting back in the dating game, this book has the answers you've been waiting for.
The new Rules include:
- Stay away from his Facebook profile
- Make yourself invisible and other ways to get out of instant messaging
- Stop dating a guy who cancels more than once
- Text-back times chart
- Don't just hang out or see him 24/7
- TTYL: Always end everything first - get out of there!
- And much, much more!
Providing the dos and don'ts you need to stop making mistakes and start finding romance, Not Your Mother's Rules will revolutionize dating today just as The Rules did nearly 20 years ago!

Steve Harvey can't count the number of impressive women he's met over the years - the many incredible women who can run a business, have three kids, maintain a household in tiptop shape, and chair a church group all at the same time. So when it comes to relationships, why can't these same women figure out what makes men commit? According to Steve, it's because they're asking other women for advice when they should be going directly to the source.

No woman can change the reality that any man, no matter how interested or invested he may first appear, can potentially pull away and lose interest in her at some point. Although this is the reality, a woman can, in fact, change the way she deals with such situations. While you might not be able to control a man's behavior, you can control your own. Being in control of your emotions, especially when a man's behavior threatens your future with him, will make it easier for you to influence his heart and make him see you as an irreplaceable, high-value woman.

You pretend to be working on yourself, but you secretly hope and wish that Prince Charming will fall in your lap. You make the excuse that it's not you, it's the men, but there is something inside of you that knows the common denominator in all of your failed relationships was you!

Story
A guy who rejects or breaks up with you should no longer exist in your life. Contacting him or allowing him to stay in touch with you will make you work harder and harder to convince him that you’re worth his love and attention, and it will compel you to play that ugly and unwinnable game called Chase-a-Man. The best way to avoid this ugly game and break his spell over you is to cut the guy off (cease all communications and interactions) for a set period of time, or in some cases, keep him cut off out of your life indefinitely.

Did you know that men secretly use texting as a way to "pre-screen" a woman’s romantic value? A woman’s texting habits can reveal a lot about her self-worth, confidence, intelligence, and even her level of class and emotional maturity. Because guys covertly appraise a woman’s relationship potential this way, many women often have no idea that the way they communicate via text is actually sending the wrong message and thus, they unknowingly end up chasing men away.

Men give their undivided attention to those who respect them. If a man doesn't feel respected communicating with you, he'll find the respect he needs elsewhere. The woman who knows how to communicate with men can influence the man she wants without resorting to "that mini-skirt he loves." A man craves the attention of a gracious woman who knows exactly what to say to him, when to say it, and most importantly, how to say it to get what SHE wants. Men love being gracefully influenced by the woman they adore.

In the tradition of Cynthia Heimel and Chelsea Handler, and with the boisterous iconoclasm of Amy Sedaris, Julie Klausner's candid and funny debut I Don't Care about Your Band sheds light on the humiliations we endure to find love - and the lessons that can be culled from the wreckage. I Don't Care about Your Band posits that lately the worst guys to date are the ones who seem sensitive. It's the jerks in nice guy clothing, not the players in Ed Hardy, who break the hearts of modern girls.

After years of dating, many women fall into relationship ruts. As serial daters, they are attracted to the same type of man time and again. Clearly something's not working. But the problem is not that he's just not that into them - the reality is he's just not their type.

Face it, your attitudes about marriage and the path to marriage are probably wrong. Some you've inherited, some you've simply bought - hook, line, and sinker - and some you've made up yourself. They have translated into bad action (or no action) in dating and relationships. But it's not too late; you can break the cycle of dating dysfunction and learn to honor marriage, marry well, and live intentionally while you wait.

When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn… Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

Updated revision from the original
I read the original The Rules in college 27 years ago and it worked (married for 25 years) so I listened to the newest version to help my teen daughter navigate the dating world. I appreciated how they incorporated their own daughters for more updated rules for the younger generation (example over 30 years old wait longer to respond to a text than a twenty year old). They stand by their original method of playing hard to get but easy to be with once the guy got you, just adapted it to a modern world full of technology.

Yeah, it's still my mother's rules
There really isn't anything new here. The authors, Fein and Schneider, have written several books that all say the same thing: Don't be too easy. Men will treat you like a free hooker if you treat yourself like a free hooker. It's a tough message for both young women today, the primary target audience of this book, as well as older, professional women who are used to going after what they want and not waiting for a man to make all the moves. But that's the message, and it is uncomfortable, irritating, and true with some men. There is no research support for their frequent anecdotes, but there is a great deal of marketing for their rules-dating consultation business. Lastly, relating to the audio version of this book, what were they thinking bringing their daughters in to read? The authors' reading was tolerable enough, perhaps 3 stars. One daughter was only young and unprofessional. But the other daughter was incapable of enunciating clearly. It was horrible, waiting for her little reading to end so my torment could also end. Her reading is a glaring statement against the dangers of nepotism. However, with all my criticisms, which are sincere, I still will make sure my daughter reads this book before going to college. Many young men will not give young women respect; they must demand it. That is the strongest, best message of the book.

Good content but SHOCKING audio
As much as I wish the content was just some kooky 50’s housewife fever dream - it actually makes a lot of sense. Oof. I found myself literally facepalming because of all the things I’ve so clearly missed the mark on in my dating approach.
I had a couple “aha” moments and it helped me understand why guys I’ve been super into have gotten scared away, while guys I didn’t even notice were super into me.
BUT - the audio was just painful. One of the narrators is basically Lois from Family Guy, and the “daughters” voice is so bad I though it was a joke at first. Think - someone who could easily be cast as the annoying, whiny, ridiculous pre-pubescent valley girl sister of Cher from Clueless. And the daughter’s input was silly, superfluous, and obvious. “Who even calls these days anyways?” (Read that in a high-frequency whine).
All that said - I (reluctantly) still got something out of it

Common sense that's not so common.
This book is full of logical and practical advice. It comes across a bit harsh, but if you listen and understand the reasons behind the actions, it makes perfect sense. So many women I know (myself included) have wasted so much time and heartache. Setting proper boundaries and respecting ourselves, our time and our lives first is a must! The narration is just okay and the "daughters" voice was quite annoying. Still a "must read" for every teenage girl or newly single woman!

Good primer for self preservation
Great for women who keep getting hurt over and over again but not great for attracting a HEALTHY, SECURE relationship. My takeaway: don’t try too hard to impress a man, name the babies on the second date, and have your own life (hobbies, friends, job, don’t move for a guy or see him all the time). But if you rigidly follow “the rules” you will likely find yourself in “relationship” with an avoidant man and unable to be your affectionate self lest you “scare him off”. I was unsatisfied with the men I attracted doing “the rules”. It was still a helpful bridge step from that sad, hurt woman I was in my early 20s.

Sound Advice
If you follow these rules on a guy you like the chances of success are much higher than doing it on your own. I observed men who think I'm "mean" vs. those who think I'm nice... Mean = rules. Rules relationships are waaaaay better than the "nice girl" relationships. Trust me, FOLLOW THE RULES!
