Review: The Rules for Online Dating : Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right in Cyberspace by Ellen Fein, Sherrie Schneider
Fein and Schneider (The Rules, The Rules for Marriage) collaborate once again to give women a highly structured system for online dating that consists of 29 rules and 17 "Extra Hints" intended to turn them into desirable "Creatures Unlike Any Other" (CUAO). They show how to choose a screen name, sift through incoming requests, and sound "light and breezy" in ads and replies.The authors forbid women to take any initiative, telling them to wait 24 hours before responding to e-mail, never participate in Instant Messaging or chat rooms, answer all e-mail in three sentences or fewer of chipper-sounding rhetoric, and stop talking to a man who doesn't ask them out within four messages.
