Wired Not Weird: A Woman's Guide to Dating Online May 24, 2001

I found Kay & Christy's new book to be the most comprehensive guide to this new option for dating on the market today. It answered every question I had about getting out there, responding, meet & greet & safety issues. Because it is written in a workbook format I was encouraged to actually practice my "banners", profile & responses as I read the chapters on those topics. I never felt like I was reading a "how to" book. Thank you ladies for sharing your experiences with the rest of us.
Plenty of appraising observations to carefully consider October 14, 2001

Wired Not Weird: A Woman's Guide To Dating Online begins with a ominous disclaimer: the reader must assume all responsibility for personal decisions or actions, regardless of whether they are influenced by reading this book. It is an unfortunate consequence of our unpredictable, sometimes dangerous, and unquestionably litigious society that such a warning must be so boldly declared, but the disclaimer also doubles as sound advice for life in general. Wired Not Weird dares to tackle a subject that is at best made light of in vapid comedy movies, at worst demonized with horror stories: online dating. Collaboratively written by Christy Clement and Kay McLean as a guide specifically for women, Wired Not Weird incorporates personal anecdotes, a hefty dose of common sense, and simple, easy-to-understand advice and strategies about what to expect, what to stay away from, and what to say or not say during the first meeting in person. Wired Not Weird's suggestions are also directly relevant to placing personal ads in the newspapers, which is basically the low-tech local equivalent of using the Internet to look for a date. Wired Not Weird is highly entertaining, with plenty of appraising observations to carefully consider -- even if you're not interested in using the Internet to find love.
Fun and helpful, too. June 23, 2001

I just want to say that I bought this book upon the recommendation of a friend. Did not know I would laugh and say "yes, yes" all the way through! It is not just about online dating, but about women dating in general. I plan to try one of the dating sites the authors suggest. I highly recommend it to other women.

I have heard so many stories of people meeting and falling in love online. I have also heard horror stories of people getting hurt by trusting too soon. This book teaches woman how to be successful SAFELY! It offers great advice to any woman looking for a successful, meaningful relationship. It is easy to read, fun-loving and very educational. I recommend it to woman of all ages.

Wired Not Weird is very well written; clear, concise, organized. I found it easy to read, understand and apply. This book gave me the courage to venture onto the web in search of that special someone! So far I've corresponded with several intriguing men and have actually met and dated someone very special! I'll be sending copies to all my single friends for Christmas this year!
