Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Elle romance columnist Carroll's advice on man catching can be boiled down to four mantras: be happy, look good, go where the guys are and just do it. Carroll stretches this advice out over 200 pages thanks to a witty prose style-and a spacious layout design-that usually works. The author tries her best to make this book appropriate for contemporary women, combining watered-down scientific theory about synchrony with advice on exactly what to say when flirting (biceps feature prominently). Readers are encouraged to be proud of who they are, but also to head over to the golf range or racetrack for maximum male populations. The author engages in some typical E. Jean-style (i.e. lighthearted) self-aggrandizing: numerous anecdotes highlight her fabulous lifestyle, her Vivienne Westwood suits, her butter-yellow convertible Cadillac, etc. Overall, however, the book is a fun, quick read, though the underlying theme-that the work of romantic love rests solely with smart, ever-so-slightly duplicitous women-may depress some readers. Carroll delivers a reasonable plan for what she promises, a six-week strategy for catching a guy (though not necessarily the dream man of her subtitle). No one who is familiar with her "Ask E. Jean" romance column would expect any less, or more.

Book Description

The Mr. Right, Right Now! Promise:

If you start following the principles of the Man Catching Theory right now, 6 weeks from today, you will have the man of your dreams.

E. Jean Carroll, the popular advice columnist for Elle magazine, comes to the rescue of bright, high-achieving women everywhere with a foolproof program for finding love. In the first Man-Finding, Catching, and Captivating Manual for successful women, E. Jean provides a 6-week plan for finding the ideal mate.

And here's the best part: Mr. Right, Right Now! is not based on self-help horsehockey. Rather, it's founded on Darwinian principles, cutting-edge scientific research on "synchrony," and ten years of hard evidence provided by thousands of letters sent into the Ask E. Jean column.

The Man Catching Theory in Mr. Right, Right Now! has been tested and confirmed on E. Jean's wildly successful dating site GreatBoyfriends.com.

So, here's the deal, Doll: If you acquire the right attitude (Week 1) and the right look (Week 2), learn to laugh at your fears (Week 3), place yourself where there are hoards of elite and eligible men (Week 4), get out of your own way and let Mother Nature hurl the chaps at your feet (Week 5), E. Jean guarantees you will live happily ever after (or for as long as you can stand it) with the man of your dreams (Week 6).

2.0 out of 5 stars ugh, Jul 11 2004
She's funny but she does NOT make sense! The woman keeps contradicting herself! Her MAN-CATCHING LAW #1: Men want women they can't have and if that man cant have you they'll do anything to get you! She writes this in bold and is the very first advice she gives.... but then she dedicates a section to pretty much chasing men and teaches you strategies on how to ask them out...... arghhhh this book was very frustrating and filled with tips that contradict..... instead of buying this book I would recommend "Why Men Love Bitches" which gives you clear strategies and is VERY VERY amusing but true to the points!

5.0 out of 5 stars IT WORKS! IT WORKS! IT TOTALLY WORKS!, Feb 15 2004
By A Customer
I admit I was dubious. I skipped two of the weeks----I did all the beauty advice (which is FANTASTIC! The Mr. Right Food Plan is genius. I've lost seven-and-a half pounds so far) and then I went straight to Week Four. My expectations were low, but I was looking so fabulous, I decided what the heck? And I was amazed. I 've met two wonderful men . . . and I've just started. (Now I am going back and doing the Six Week Plan from the beginning. I like the whole MIND-SET the author, E. Jean, advises.) It totally works. Totally, totallly works!

5.0 out of 5 stars Truthful Inspiration That's Usable, Feb 4 2004
By A Customer
Mr. Right, Right Now is easy to read and is full of usable advice that encourages women to take action and make things happen. Mr. Right tells you what you need to know and then demands that you use it. The book was a delight. Once again E. Jean provides insight that is right to the point. E. Jean's fabulous style is unique and one that you have to love. Way to go E. Jean!
