Never Kiss a Frog: A Girl's Guide to Creatures from the Dating Swamp

Never Kiss a Frog: A Girl's Guide to Creatures from the Dating Swamp This is dating humor and advice from someone who's been around the swamp! As a licensed psychotherapist and counselor, I see a lot of women who keep kissing these frogs and can't figure out why they don't turn into princes (To be fair, guys encounter froggy girls, too) Even if your particular frog might turn out to be someone else's prince, he's not going to transform for you. Anderson's advice -- livened up with her own illustrations -- is to jettison that frog! This book is fun, yes, but it's also really helpful to women who just can't seem to get that the guy they're fixated on isn't good relationship material. By describing the different kinds of frogs, and how to handle each one, the author is doing a great service - and making it fun, to boot! This would be a great gift for a girl party --the whole group would be laughing and sharing stories in a moment!

This book is both funny and serious, and very well-written. Advice with a side dish of humor. A must for all unpartnered ladies. Loved the tale of the diet freak, the misadventure with the makeover man, and the bit about the "sword." Bravo, Marilyn A.!!

Are you single? Do you constantly find yourself going out on dates with men closer to frogs than princes? If you answered YES to both of these questions, Marilyn Anderson's adorable book, NEVER KISS A FROG is right up your alley. Marilyn has jumped into the trenches, has dated her share of frogs and now offers us her sage advice and experience in this illustrated, humorous book. You'll learn of the types of frogs that are out there. You'll learn how to detect and bypass frogs to set you on the right path to finding your prince. Most importantly, at least for THIS young single woman, you'll learn that you are not alone. There are many of us out there, searching for love and unfortunately, we do have to kiss a lot of frogs before we get rid of the warts and find the 'one' for us. Let Marilyn take you on her funny, endearing journey and just maybe you'll learn a few things to help you in today's insane dating world. This book is DEFINITELY a great treat! ~~ Shon Bacon, co-founder/editor of SisterDivas.org, where REAL women congregate and author of "LuvAlwayz: The Opposite Sex & Relationships" and "Draw Me with Your Love"

Wow! Marilyn Anderson has given us girls the best new primer on dating ever. It's called "NEVER KISS A FROG: A Girl's Guide to Creatures from the Dating Swamp." This book should be on every single woman's bedside table...right next to the telephone so the next time one of these "frogs" calls she'll know exactly what to say!My entire dating life passed before my eyes (not to mention my funny bone) as I read this terrific book. There, between the pages, were all the dead-end guys (frogs) I have spent half my adult life dating... and wasting my time on. All I can say is, "Marilyn, where were you when I needed you!" I could hardly stop laughing long enough to call up my latest "boyfriend" and tell him to go take a hike, or as Marilyn might say, "Go jump back into the swamp, you slimy frog""Never Kiss a Frog" is chock full of laughs, brimming with great insights and overflowing with common sense suggestions that most of us (certainly me) probably overlook. For advice, there are Wart Warnings and Ribbet Snippets - smart, savvy and funny. There are also toadally clever names of frogs every girl can relate to like The-Really-Nice-Guy-But-Really-Bad-Kisser Frog, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Frog, and the Horny Toad. Oh yeah, and if I were you, I would slip one of these books into your boyfriend's briefcase or backpack and hope after reading it he may turn into that prince you've always been looking for. A definite recommend and five stars from me.

The subtitle to this book is "a girl's guide to creatures from the dating swamp." I would add that men could learn a thing or two about frogs reading this book, as well -- and have fun doing it. It's clever and witty, with surprises throughout that tickled my funny bone. I've recently discovered it also makes a good gift, warts and all, when I gave it to a friend of mine, a woman who has known me in both human and frog form. However, we still disagree on what category of frogs I fall under.
