Publisher's summary

"If you've ever found yourself picking off your nail polish, sitting in your sweats with an empty carton of Ben & Jerry's, wondering, "Where are all the good men, and why isn't a gorgeous one standing shirtless in my kitchen mixing me up a pomegranate mojito?" I hate to tell you this, but it's your own fault. Not to worry - I'm here to help you make that fantasy a reality, with one major addition: you'll be sipping that mojito with a big, glittering diamond ring on your left hand.

"Sounds too good to be true? It isn't. As a third-generation matchmaker and the president of one of the world's most elite dating services - the Millionaire's Club - I've put myself in the enviable position of being friend, confidante, and relationship counselor to men and women the world over. I know what the good guys want in a wife, and what sends them screaming into the night. Now I'm sharing their secrets with you.

"I've compiled my best tried-and-true advice and I'm going to tell you the things that even your best friend doesn't have the courage to break to you. If you follow my formula, the man of your dreams will appear in your life, and you can be in a committed, monogamous relationship with him in less than a year. Get ready - I'm about to show you how to make all your relationship dreams come true."

must have, must read

This is a must-have book for any young woman and any woman for that matter. I wish I would have had this book many years ago. As I sit here listening to it , still single and 50 years old I see all of the things I did wrong all of the red flags that I should have seen before they turned into disaster. Even if you're in a relationship this book can help you to deal with issues that may arise or to see issues before they become big issues.
After listening to this audiobook I am purchasing the hardback so I may have all the references and lists that she suggest that you make. Must have

loved it!

Patti knows how to attract the perfect mate. great advice,
loved that she is the narrator!

BEWARE The Title is misleading

Any additional comments?

I was disappointed in a positive way. The title made me think the book would be more gender neutral. I like Patti (Author) so don't want this to sound to negative. This book was written by a woman for women. FEMALES: If you are looking for a book that tells you step by step how to go from meeting a man to marriage, this is book is well written with lots of stories. MEN: Patti knows what she is talking about, for both men and women. The book is worth the read/listen to. Especially if you want to know that the other side is being taught. As a man I did get some ahha's, but had to pay attention because it was all aimed toward the female... Hope this helps.

Fell in love with her

Her voice, literally and figuratively, were a joy. She's just a doll! And a hardass- love it! Dating detox began when I started the book on Friday. It's now Sunday and the book is done! But I'm ready to execute the best tips ever. Thank you, Patti!

A Funny and Entertaining Listen!

What made the experience of listening to Become Your Own Matchmaker the most enjoyable?

Patti Stanger is such a hoot, she can make anything enjoyable, and she doesn't let you get away with anything.

What other book might you compare Become Your Own Matchmaker to and why?

Honestly, I don't know, this is the first book I have read that was even close to this.

Which character – as performed by Patti Stanger – was your favorite?

Herself, although some of the voices she gives people are hilarious.

What did you learn from Become Your Own Matchmaker that you would use in your daily life?

I defiantly took away some great dating advice, some of it is not my style but its all a good theory.

A good read

This was my first book on relationships and I found it to be surprisingly funny, easy to follow, easy to listen to and in some instances even easy to relate to. She establishes some "rules of the game" that range from common sense to absurdity (If you are unlucky enough to have been born with curly hair and are not willing to straighten it regularly... sorry! You might as well have signed a contract for maidenhood with the universe!).

My opinion: it is a good audiobook for all of us who find themselves without a loving partner (my husband died and now that I am ready to face the dating world again I find myself without any idea of what do to or how to go about doing it) but wanting to find one. Just be prepared to laugh at a few of just plain outrageous statements and just pick the advice that suits your personality. She does give good advice and good ideas! Overall I recommend this audiobook.
