Ellen Fein and Lance Houpt
Ellen Fein, an author of “The Rules:
Time-Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right,” dresses like a
Rules Girl — in miniskirts that show off her slim legs, scoop-neck shirts,
high heels and long blond hair as straight as taffy...
The most important rule, they say, is never,
ever call a man, since it takes away the challenge, and without a challenge
his interest will plummet. “Trust in the natural order of things,” the book
advises. “Namely, that man pursues woman.”

The all new dating rules for single
women
'Because many women are successful go-getters in business they mistakenly
assume they can be aggressive with men too,' adds Schneider. 'They want to
ask him out, buy him dinner and sleep with him on the first date but,
instead, we say women should disappear between dates and be very
mysterious.'

Find lasting love with The
Rules
NEVER chase a man. We've heard that advice a zillion times - but does it actually work? Well,
Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider think so. The authors of bestselling dating
bible The Rules have made a career out of advising women never to make the
first move or be too available. Their '35 Time-Tested Secrets for
Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right' caused controversy on its release back in
1995. Yet it's still going strong today, with celebs like BEYONCE as fans.

Romancing the vote - and the wives - on camera
In OBAMA'S biographical video, he
rehashed his Rules courtship with wife Michelle. He said he noticed she
wasn't wearing a ring when they met. "I offered to buy her ice cream." Be
still our voting hearts.
The message got through - at least to some
in the romance business. "It's wonderful to have a husband that says his
wife is a big part of his life," says Sherrie Schneider, co-author with
Ellen Fein of the best-selling dating book, "The Rules." "It's life
affirming and it's love affirming."
It's also good for the dating business.
"The Rules" authors now run a dating consultation service ($300 per e-mail
consultation), and singles who see a public figure doting on his wife - be
it Michael Douglas or George W. Bush, Schneider said - are often prompted to
get in touch. "I want that," they say. "Everyone likes the knight in shining
armor that gets the girl." |

 For
most of my life, I was not a Rules girl. If a guy called, I called
right back. There was no intrigue. Then, about 10 years ago, I read
the book and it became my bible. —

Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider tell
In Touch that overeager Jessica Simpson broke every rule in their book.
"She needs to be more subdued," says Schneider.
1. SHE CALLED TOO MUCH
Men love a girl they can't get, Schneider says. "Wait 24 hours to return a
call or text. When guys get instant gratification, the intrigue is over. If
there's no chase, there's no challenge. It's too easy."

The Publishers Weekly article
The Authors of the highly successful series of
Warner titles called
The Rules, Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider, have
become consultants in the area of women's relationships, offering seminars
and naturally, a busy website. Out of the latter they have gained the
realization, in the past two years, that a vast amount of the the activity
connected with such relationships is now conducted online, via a large
number of sites and chat rooms. Hence their new title:
The Rules for Online Dating (and /or Just E-mailing Men). Agent Mary Tahan
at Clausen, Mays & Tahan sold world rights in the book at auction to Pocket
Books senior editor Mitchell Ivers. The plan is to publish next summer, as a
lead title in Pocket's new original trade paperback publishing program.

If you play the dating game, then you'll
want The Rules II... the follow-up book to the original dating bible.
—American Woman
There
is a certain kind of woman who is given to long tousled hair, sheer black
panty hose, and acting maddeningly elusive to every man...She is breezy,
confident, and independent, as well as coy, manipulative, and very, very
hard to get. She is a Rules Girl.
—New York Times
Waiting
around is certainly not what Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider have in mind.
Their message is clear: It’s to the battlefields. Arm yourself and become a
full-time Rules Girl! Practice them! Memorize the book! Make him pursue you
until you catch him! And live life happily ever after. Amen.
—Detroit News
A lot of good advice...Friends should read the book
together, discuss The Rules and the reasons for them and encourage
each other to stick to The Rules. They may laugh at first, but if
they follow The Rules, it will take a lot of stress off themselves,
allow them to be happier in their lives, and pave the way
for a lasting relationship with a man who does the pursuing—and feels
rewarded when he catches the woman he adores.

...I fully admit to loving that book
The Rules—that's my handbook on how I got married. Dating is nothing but
a game. So the advice you get in some magazines, 'Never play games, tell him
how you feel, be vulnerable and show your heart’—it's so bogus!
— KIMORA LEE SIMMONS, model, fashion designer and wife of hip-hop
mogul Russell Simmons, in her new book
Fabulosity.
If you ever want to know what it
feels like to be completely pursued and appreciated, just ask Steffi ...I
was persistent, let's leave it at that. tennis great
ANDRE AGASSI
to
People magazine, which noted that Agassi "long admired" the tennis star
but waited until he was divorced from Brooke Shields and she was out of her
seven-year relationship to make his move. Now they are married with a baby
boy.
Don't
ever call! If he's interested, he'll call....I just finished reading The
Rules. That is the best book ever,
I'm old-fashioned. He's got to call. He's gotta
open the door and pull your chair out.
You've
got have a life besides marriage, because you don't want your husband to get
sick of you hanging around the house all day. It's part of the rules. You
follow The Rules?

Being

First lady LAURA BUSH didn't
want to date a politician (The Rules!!), but a builder like her father, but
for George it was love at first site. When she didn't return his calls, the
future
prez hopped on a plane to Texas and popped the question.
(Vogue Magazine)
Men say they like being pursued, they claim
they are eager to respond to women who are assertive and call them. Forget
it, my complete experience has been, if you call them, it's as good as over.
They think your hungry, they don't treat you well, they become too cavalier
and take your presence for granted, even if you are beautiful and talented!
The guy's gotta find you, come on to you, it's the only way.
