Description
In Dating for Fun and Profit: A Girl's Guide to Useful Men, Cynthia James delivers a handbook that answers the million-dollar question: what makes relationships work for women? The short answer is: to get back at least as much as we give. If you've already settled for a BUM (Barely Useful Male), she supplies ideas for motivating or exchanging him. If that doesn't work, here are some ideas for finding new UMs (Useful Males), including the highly prized PLUMS (Platonic Useful Males). James clarifies what's needed in order to have relationships we benefit from - whether with one Useful Male (UM) or many. You'll find spreadsheets to assist you in calculating the possibilities and take a quiz on what you learned. If you're interested in commitment, use his Usefulness Quotient (UQ) to calculate his long term potential. This book revises your definition of Mr. Right: he's the guy who gives you what you want and keeps on giving!
