Synopsis

Janice Lieberman brings her vast shopping expertise as well as her personal knowledge of the dating marketplace together to tell you how to shop for the most important 'purchase' of your life - your spouse. How to Shop for a Husband uses smart shopping principles to formulate rules that will help women select a spouse and 'close the deal'. This savvy shopper's guide provides a checklist all women can use in their hunt for the ultimate bargain, and also highlights potential pitfalls. It covers the rules that include the following. Ignore the Packaging - are you too picky for your own good? Learn how to discriminate between legitimate reasons for crossing a guy off your list and those that will lead to 'buyer's remorse'. Avoid Scams and Sleazy Sales Pitches - look out for false promises and hidden fine print. Is he a master of the gesture but not the follow up? Still Can't Find Anyone? It's Time for Some Re-packaging - if you find the dating process dragging on with no end in sight, it's time to get to work...on yourself.

Media Reviews
While far from romantic, this common sense dating guide from NBC's Today show consumer reporter offers some charming--if simple--advice for spotting good deals on the dating market. For example, research on marital success indicates that shoppers should seek someone as similar in social status and background as possible; Lieberman makes this her Mirror-Image Rule (i.e, Be Sure to Use the Mirror in the Dressing Room ). A chapter on Good User Interface asserts that the killer app when it comes to guys is good communication. Some may be turned off by the hyper-practical (some might say traditional ) tone: Marriers are guys who like to be married. They need a woman who will coordinate their social lives... their homes and just generally provide support. Still, Lieberman provides enough hints and data to prove she's done her comparison shopping; a careful analysis of modern methods for mate-finding (online, group events, professional matchmakers, flying solo) is exceedingly helpful and demystifying; the shocker is that face-to-face speed dating is the best option for busy professionals interested in high-quality dating candidates. Though at times familiar, this rational dating primer makes a solid, sound and self-aware alternative to The Rules. -- Publishers Weekly
