Nice Guys Sleep Alone - Dating In The Difficult Eighties

My copy is falling apart at a rapid rate but I still love this book. Some parts fall flat but when this book is funny it more than makes up for the dull bits. Types of daters (Sudden Death, Power Player - "chances of dating one - great as long as you're Sting and your records are still selling"), songs to hear when you got dumped, greatest lies of breaking up ("I just have to be alone now"), and the one about never dating a yuppie. Not only is this book still funny but the hopelessly 80s references (yuppies, certain stereos, the clothing worn by the cartoon characters) charm rather than grate (and I seriously doubt that the Sex & the City 90s New York references will be half as charming in 20 years)Far funnier and much more honest than Real Men Don't Eat Quiche - this book is a great addition to any library.

I am on my 5th copy of this book. Everytime I loan it out it gets 'lost'(not returned). It may not be a perfect guide to dating but if he shoe fits why not wear it? It has saved me more than a few sleepless nights and benefitted a number of friends both men and women. This one is worthy of a reprint.
