Product Description
How many of us never meet the person with whom we could be happy? How many of us limit our romantic choice to the people who happen to wash up on our shore? In Why Mr Right Can’t Find You, J.M. Kearns, Ph. D., shows that finding true love can be a proactive adventure. In chapters like How Men See Women, The Underrated Chance Encounter, and The Truth About Bars, J.M. Kearns lays bare the surprising vulnerabilities of the single male, and the power they confer on women. Men, he explains, are not shallow, not the enemy, and not aliens from Mars. In fact, the good man who is searching for you is your greatest ally, and Kearns shows you exactly how to take advantage of that fact. In the process he overturns the classic dating myths – that destiny chose the "one and only" man for you, that baggage is bad, that all men prefer the same body type – and solves the fascinating riddle of compatibility, with a hilarious and practical guide to the factors that make two people click, illustrated with real-life vignettes straight from the dating trenches. Finally, in a full online dating section, Kearns (who met his partner online) gives clear, simple advice on sites, photo sets, matchmaking, body issues, and that crucial first meeting. Review "If you’ve been on the lookout for ages but still haven’t found The One, this is for you...you’ll be in the arms of your true love in no time!"
—OK! Magazine "A literary MRI of the male brain."
—Georgie Banks, CBC News Viewpoint. "Kearns insists it’s really not difficult to direct the right man to you, whether it’s online, someone you already know, or a total stranger. So read this, sit back and wait for the offers to pour in... Kearns says we should break the mentality of ‘acceptable’ places and realize ‘any time is a good time to meet Mr. Right.’ And sadly, men can’t read our minds to establish our interest, so direct him to you."

 excellent! February 28, 2010
B. Verdonk (the Netherlands)
What I loved about this book, was the theory that I don't need to be fixed, but that there is someone out there who will love me just the way I am. The writer also deals a deserving blow to the 'destiny-theory'. Instead of waiting for love to happen to you, you should create your own chances. I couldn't agree more.

Cute kick-in-the-butt for those who wallow in the self pity of not having a man. Written with humor, which you'll need if you want to have a happy relationship with a guy....they're worth it!

J.M. Kearns has written an excellent book, "Why Mr. Right Can't Find You". I am a man so, I found this book to be quite enjoyable reading. It's actually pretty refreshing to read something from a man's point of view as to why a good man cannot find a good woman. There are plenty of people out there in society but as I like to say, "quality is much better than quantity!"
Now, according to the author, you should hang out in "desirable" locations to meet men and subscribe to online dating sites to meet quality men. I agree that you can find quality men in both these places and what's good is the author basically asks his readers to open themselves to new possibilities. Another key point the author makes is he encourages the single women to seek out & approach potential guys. There is nothing wrong with this; we live in a society where we want equality for everyone well, why should a single woman wait for someone to approach them? If you see something you want go for it.
Lastly, this is written by a man, so it's not gender biased nor is it a book which generalizes men or exploits women. It's just a neutral, informative book that can help anyone find Mr. or Ms. Right.
I hope this helps...YMMV...NEOSOUL

Why Mr. Right...is one of the few--very, very few--dating books that actually gives a girl some good advice. It's got whip-smart advice and, I'd say, it's a bit in your face. No offense taken as it's good to hear this stuff and to realize that by accepting it, then I can work on it. I just can't recommend this one enough. I would also recommend Sexy and Confident: How To Be The Dreamgirl Men Want, Have a Better Life and Improve Your Self-Esteem, too.
