Product description

From the Back Cover

"Men may be from Mars and women from Venus, but I'm from the Jersey Shore."—JWOWW

Are you stuck in a relationship with a stage-five clinger? Maybe your date is more like a man-whore than Mr. Smooth. Do guys only call you late at night when they're looking for a quick hookup? The Rules According to JWOWW can change all that.

Famous for both her cleavage-baring tops and her tough-as-nails approach to life and love on MTV's hit show Jersey Shore, JWOWW tells it like it is. And now she's laying down the rules she has learned and lived by on smushing, smackdowns, and standing up for yourself. JWOWW's advice on what she wears to get a guy's attention at the club, how she keeps her man in check, how she maintains her sick body, and what she does to satisfy her guy will have you with a man ready to wife-up in no time.

About the Author

JWOWWW, aka Jenni Farley, hails from Franklin Square, New York. Before her rise to fist-pumping fame on MTV’s Jersey Shore, Farley paid the bills with graphic design work and part-time club promotions. Once she conquered the club scene on Long Island and in much of Manhattan’s outer boroughs, Farley was on to New Jersey, Miami, and Italy! Her current business ventures include a line of JWOWW Black Bronzer and upcoming fitness-related projects such as a workout video, diet supplements, and a sports drink.

Woww! Some really great advice!

Reviewed in Canada on October 14, 2011

Anyone that watches Jersey Shore knows that Jwoww actually carries herself and deals with men in a classy and dignified manner - which is why I was really excited to hear that she was co-authoring a book on dating (with Sheryl Berk). This book is a Jersey Shore version of the classic book, All the Rules: Time-tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right . Jwoww's book covers rules on dating, relationships, beauty and sex.

Her rules on dating/relationships are nothing new, and books such as All the Rules: Time-tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right and Why Men Love Bitches: From Doormat to Dreamgirl - A Woman's Guide to Holding Her Own in a Relationship do a way better job of explaining the dynamics of how a relationship work.

However, Jwoww's rules and advice on style, beauty, body and sex were absolutely amazing. And it's awesome to actually hear about how she makes herself look so damn good. And it gives the reader guidelines on how to look the best that they possibly can. And her recommended workout routine actually gave me inspiration to work out harder and have a better body. I also found her nutritional advice (especially drinking tons of lemon water) to be highly effective in weight control.

Overall, a pretty good book and I would definitely recommend this book and add it to my collection of reference books on how to improve yourself (especially appearance-wise).

It amazed me that a woman this overweight thinks she should be giving advice on diet and exercise. She needs to lose twenty pounds before giving that kind of advice.
Of course this is going to infuriate alot of women but it infuriates me when I see fat girls acting like they are all that.
Otherwise the advice is basically good as far as encouraging women to respect and take care of themselves and insist on respect from men.
She should have stuck to that.

Rule 60: The most important one of all: Every woman has it in her to "WOWW"

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2011

Verified Purchase

I recently became a Jersey Shore fan, thanks to MTV's marathon reruns of the previous seasons. JWOWW has shown she has a pretty level head on her shoulders so when I heard her book came out, I rushed to here to download it to my phone and am currently reading it. She starts off saying this is the life she chooses and it doesn't mean the readers should do the same thing; she doesn't claim to be a role model.
The kindle version has 9 black and white photos of JWOW semi-sexy...there's one in a bikini with a beach ball but another perched on a stool wearing a club dress sipping a cocktail and showing off some great legs. It's pretty clear the book is for young women (18-28) give or take. She uses the "f-word" and other "bad words" but the book is written in such a way it sounds like your girlfriend talking and you hardly notice it and almost want to laugh after you've read it.

There are 60 rules and they are split up into 9 Chapters, Smushing, Beauty, Body, Stylin', It's Over, Relationships, Dating, and On the Prowl. Each section varies in the number of rules it has. In the introduction there is a short vocabulary lesson or "Shore Speak" but if you watch the show you have some idea what words mean but it clarifies some others.

The chapters are set up like this; you first read the rule then get the reasons behind the rule. She goes into detail talking about the kinds of guys you can come across and the best way to handle them. While she says who she would go for, she still keeps an open mind about if this is the guy for you. Sprinkled throughout the book are "Dear JWOWW" letters that she responds to giving advice.

Topics covered in book include:

Guys we meet: the man whore, the Guido, the cheater, Mr. Smooth, The cocky a**hole, the virgin, the nerd, the drunk
JWOWW favorite clubs in Miami, Jersey Shore and Long Island
Women we deal with: the marriage wrecker, the hippo, the extreme faker, the drama queen
Five body signals to show interested
Five body signals to show not interested
Recipes for alcoholic drinks (2-3)
Six signs he's a cheating scumbag
Six signs you're a hook-up
Five red flags that he's a control freak
Five ways to fight right (not physical)
A few Italian meal recipes (2-3)
Six ways to survive a break up
How to get over a breakup... in three easy steps
Questions to ask yourself if you think you might want to get back together
Ways to get back at him (all seem to improve yourself but are still kind of low, then again when you hurt, you want him to hurt)
The elements of Guido style
How to go from casual to club in ten minutes
Exercise routines to work specific body parts
Her healthy eating plan (only gives a plan for one day with three options for each meal and snack suggestions. This is because she plans on coming out with her own line of exercise DVD's and pills)
The elements of Guidette Beauty
A glimpse at an hour by hour timeline of how she prepares before hitting the town
Advice on nails, hair extensions and make up (including permanent make-up!)
Tanning Tips (and tricks when you screw it up)
Hair removal (advice on the many ways you can remove unwanted body hair)
What to do if the sex sucks
Ten physical things that turn a guy off
Ten nonphysical things that turn a guy off
Ideas to spice up the bedroom
Advice on STD's and being a virgin or gay or bi

Overall this book reads almost as if it's a big sister to a little sister. The honest conversation mom would kill the both of you if she found out. The advice is good and reads sincere with jokes and stories that will make you smile, maybe laugh or remember watching it on TV. An example would be she talks about drinking and advice on ordering drinks and drinking too much and the time she punched a roommate while totally drunk and how she later regretted it. She says what she chooses to do but also gives the other options an equal stance. She doesn't say this way is the ONLY way and others ways aren't worth her time. It reminds me of reading those teen magazine sections about advice only more adult and less candy coated, and bible stamped. While she never gets too graphic and doesn't openly offend anyone, some people might not like the swearing and a few descriptions of large women with bad attitudes at clubs being labeled hippos and or grenades; but everyone is going to be touchy about a subject that is sensitive to them.

The only thing I didn't like was that it seems short. Maybe I am just a fast reader. I wish it was longer but what other advice could she give? She covered a lot. I also would have liked the photos to be less sexy and maybe more natural photos or photos of make-up applications or cute outfit ideas but I suppose if she did that it would cross the line into something aimed at teens and it is very borderline, teen/young adult. YOU might not WANT a teenager reading this book but it would be a book a teenager would want to read and possibly enjoy reading. Reason number is it accepts the reader is looking for a guy, having/had sex and possibly having one night stands in a drunken stupor. So its aim is for the college aged ladies but the advice could reach down to the teens and up to the single 30's.

I rate this book 10/10 as I am a HUGE jersey shore fan.
I am so inspired by snooki and jwoww and would describe them as my role models.
I think this book was more than entertaining and I will be reading it again sometime soon, the advice and words used are excellent.
If you are a jersey shore fan I guarantee you will not be let down one bit!

Brilliant - Worth my time

I was never a Jersey Shore fan up until last summer. And I was immedialty hooked and JWOWW caught my attention right away. They don't sell her book where I'm from, so as soon as I purchased my Kindle, I bought the book. And I fell in love with it pretty much from page one. I read it twice in a matter of a week and I would totally read it over and over again. I got good tips that I would have never thought of but some of her tips are a no brainer. So if your a girl with no boyfriend and whatnot and would like to get some tips on how to hook up with a mint guy, how to get all dolled up to go to a club, how to take care of your body, etc., I would totally recommand this book to you. Kudos to you JWOWW!

Definitely a keeper!
