Gail Rubin’s “A Girl’s Pocket Guide to Trouser Trout” should be required reading for every single female in the dating pool seeking to catch ‘the Man of Her Dreams.’  This fun and witty book is filled with dating analogies comparing men and their dating styles to fish in the sea and ‘downright good advice’:

Ladies, we’re not talking about seafood here. Identifying your catch.  Is your man a?

Rainbow trout?  Energetic man with an active lifestyle

Or a Sea Slug?

Parks on your couch, watches TV and snarfs up your snack food

An Eel?  A slippery fellow with questionable morals

Or perhaps a Flying Fish?  Who swings between emotional and energy highs and lows

Take Rubin’s trouser trout quiz to identify ‘your catch’ and determine where your man lands on the scale.  Is he a keeper?  Or a catch and release?  To take the quiz online, visit:  www.trousertrout.net.

Not to be left out, for women currently unattached, but desiring to enter the dating pool Rubin has many tips to offer, including:

Angling Etiquette

Casting Techniques

Wading Wisdom

Finally, once you’ve landed your trophy trout, “remember the joys and tribulations of trouser trolling are all part of the ebb and flow of life.  May you always have a lunker on your line.  Happy Fishing.”

Author Gail Rubin practices what she preaches.  After thirty years of “casting for a keeper, she landed a trophy trout and married again in December 2000.”  The book won an award in the category of Humor Writing as well as for the category of Independent Publishing.  What are you waiting for?  Read this Pocket Guide and bait your hook!

The following review was contributed by WARREN THURSTON Fear and loneliness lead people to live quite negative lives. These emotions hold back the emotional growth of a person, no matter what their age. Life is a short time frame given to us to enjoy creation. One needs to take full advantage of this situation. There is a fear of change, of going taken outside one's comfort zone. The unknown always conjures up images based on myth rather than fact. Keeping an open mind about...
