Whew! So true it's scary
Everybody has dreamed of dating better people. But after reading Updating, the dreaming is over and it's becoming a reality. Having the typical "You gotta show me" mentality we have in Missouri, I needed proof. Not to sound arrogant, but I read Updating and now I'm convinced that I can get the best -- and I know how to do it. The author gives studies which back up everything she says. And one of them is that people always underestimate their ability to attract.

As she wrote, because of many reasons, especially lack of self-esteem, we SUBCONSCIOUSLY shy away from making a 100% effort to go after what we want. We only go after who we think we deserve. It's so true. Now I know where to find and how to appeal to the men I want -- and know I deserve. My self image and my love life have improved spectactularly. Read this book and you will soon be hanging with a better class of people too.

a mere 20 pages forced me into writing my first review ever
i was unfortunate enough to stumble across this piece of garbage at the bookstore i work in. i have no words to express the appallingly shallow, ridiculously ignorant and (what i thought were unheard of levels of) calculating inhumanity...

to think that there are actual human beings searching for a checklist on which to tally up the amount of class or classless-ness(?) they possess, or who are willing to buy into a 3-tier caste system of the best MAGAZINES to PRETEND to read in order to convey their social status to the good-looking people they are trying to trick into wanting to be with them...well, i read about 20 pages of it during my break and its very memory is like a razorblade shredding its way through my soul.

is this what all self-help books are like? perhaps they are. perhps i am naive and ignorant for thinking that the majority of the population are not searching for the insincere and joyless existence that this book offers them.

although i assume that such sentiments would be wasted on anyone who would be searching for this title anyway, i just had to find a place to vent my frustration, a place where there was *some* hope of the pointy-faced shell of an imbecile i spied on the dustjacket to actually be forced into thinking for a moment about the evil she has unleashed into the world.

i hope you are happy with yourself "leil".
you have completely obliterated the last speck of belief i had in mankind's inherent goodness. if i live to see this book make its way onto softcover, well, you shall find me a grave man. (or woman. but i'd prefer the term "girl")

i am dumbfounded and disgusted that this pathetic excuse for a human being is a best-selling author teaching people how to FAKE class (a concept she clearly does not understand and never will) and provide a model for other devil-people to base their lives on. and i will (if i'm lucky) still be writing reviews for amazon.
but at least this was sorta fun and cathartic--

i don't think "leil" has had any fun in a looooooong time.
anyway, now i have exorcised the demons and can go write my 3,000 word essay. thank you, amazon.

Wow, this book is terrific! It's a "10"
I thought Leil's "How to Make Anybody Fall in Love With You" was tops. But "Updating" is even better because it's not just how to make ANYBODY fall in love with you. She tells you where to hunt, and how to get, a spectacular partner.(Way out of your league?) What I like is that "one size doesn't fit all." In different sections, she gives you get realistic and researched techniques to win a different type of superior man or woman. Do you want someone who is:
1) Very rich?
2) Famous?
3) High class and discriminating?
4) Gorgeous?
5) Creative and interesting?
6) Ethical and honorable?
She tells you what type of person each is looking for, and why they respond to different approaches. "Updating " tells you where to find each particular type and how to win them over. I happened to want a beautiful and refined woman (they really ARE different than average women,) and her unusual techniques worked. I am now dating a classy 10!
