Bylaws

Often humorous, but entirely useful, this book sets out to codify the "Rules" of social engagements between men and women in these modern times. It should be required reading for anyone in their 20s and 30s who's on the dating scene.

This book is a masterpiece of concision and scholarly expertise. I cannot think of a single resource more valuable both for the modern single person out on the "dating scene" and for the serious relationship professional who wants to keep abreast of the current psychosexual mores in our culture. At the clinic where I work we stock the "Green Book" in our supply cabinet. One small quibble: I feel that the use of humor in this book, while it undeniably succeeds in creating a symphony of mirth that I literally could not put down, somewhat detracts from the sense of urgency that properly attaches to the American Dating Association's mission.

I'm ashamed to admit this, but I've now decided to adhere to all the regulations of the "Green Book." It really lays out a blueprint for how a REAL relationship should work. And I won't waste time with men who can't be bothered to follow these simple rules. After all, if they can't follow a set of regulations listed point by point in a book, how can I expect them to understand something as complicated as a woman?

The copy I received was missing pages. One page had the print running off one side, as a document might appear if it had been misfed through a photocopier. In another place, page 23 followed page 21, which was then followed by page 22. The quantity of sample language was a disappointment.
