Are you tired of dating the same old losers? Do you justify it by saying: "There's nobody interesting in this town. I don't meet any exciting people in my job." Or "All the good ones are taken." You know you're too good for the pool of potential partners you've been swimming in. So why do you stay? You've probably become more discriminating than you were in the past. But just as newly slender people have a "lag factor" before their self-image catches up with a dramatic weight loss, you may be experiencing a lag factor in the quality of partner you think you can attract. Now is the time to make the break and start UpDating! In this unique book, Leil Lowndes gives you rock-solid tips for capturing the man or woman you once thought out of your league.

From AudioFile:

People deserve mates who are not beneath their social class, financial level, or appearance stratum, says the persuasive author, who sounds relentless in presenting her ideas. It's hard to disagree that above-average brains, beauty, and financial security offer clear advantages over the lack of them. Further, Lowndes is extremely confident about her ideas and presents her suggestions with memorable images. But in addition to the unappealing quality of her voice, some listeners will be put off by her high-pressure speaking style. While her suggestions are clever and there's nothing wrong with being proactive, the lesson too often comes across as calculating and self-serving. The segments on developing oneself are helpful but get lost in the barrage of strategies and manipulation. T.W. � AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright � AudioFile, Portland, Maine
