Trap a Mate Reading "How to Marry the Man of Your Choice"

While visiting one of the Chicago neighbnorhood libraries, I ran across a book that brought a big smile and "Is this for real?"

"How To Marry The Man Of Your Choice" tells where to look for eligible men, how to talk to them, and how to dress for success with them.

Don't waste effort and energy going out or dating just anyone in pants, but sift through your prospects, Margaret Kent advises. How? Simply have a five-minute conversation, seven minutes top. If you can't figure out a man in this length of time, you need to review Chapter One's 20 guides to male behavior.

A few of these are: 1. Males are influenced by women. 2. Men base their sexual worth from their high school years. 3. Men have enormous, but fragile egos (So learn a lot about this.)

Chapter Two covers dressing for men (No pun intended). Did you know you're dressed properly when you're not paying attention to your clothing? In other words, T-shirts and jeans. The tighter the jeans, the better. Nothing frilly, overly sexy, and only basic colors! (Burn those plaids.) The chapter goes on at length about the "right" type of shoes, pants, hair, even eyeglasses!

Now that you know how to dress you must say hello to every man who isn't a criminal or weird. (In Chicago?!) Start a conversation with him about himself by asking questions that require an explanation. If he passes, (as in he did great) let him know how he'll see you again. If he doesn't, say bye ASAP.

You can also ask him to name three people, dead or alive, that he would like to meet. The responses (or lack thereof) will tell you a lot, and you'll learn a great deal about him.

The 20 best places to meet men includes on the job, bookstores, supermarkets, laudromats, libraries, bowling alleys, airport waiting rooms, doctors' waiting rooms, school, and special interest groups.

Speaking of jobs, the author points out, it can make a difference. Were you aware that flight attendents, waitresses, and nurses have the best access to men?
