Overview

Is he a Leech? Or Mr. Ego? Or The Burdened Beast? Learn the twenty-five different loser types of men and how to send them out of your life!

Sure he's gorgeous, funny, and charming--but early in any doomed relationship there are warning signals foretelling the bad news to come. Studies show that most women will try to justify these signs, excusing them so they don't interfere with their fantasy of having met the perfect man. Unfortunately, such signs are usually all too prophetic--they are the essence of what Drs. Gary Aumiller and Daniel Goldfarb call "Red Flags." The question then becomes how to detect and respond to a Red Flag before it's too late. This first-of-its-kind book will help readers determine a man's all-important "loser potential" within the first three dates.

Each chapter includes a profile of a different loser, a post-date quiz to help you determine if Mr. Right is Mr. Wrong, and important information about the best way to break up with him. Red Flags has all the fun of a magazine quiz combined with the expertise of psychologists who specialize in the techniques used by the police to profile criminals. They know how to spot the rejects--and now you will, too!

"After reading Red Flags you'll never be stuck in a bad relationship again. Thank you, Doctors Aumiller and Goldfarb, for writing the book every dating woman needs!"--Sharyn Wolf, author of Guerrilla Dating Tactics

    Nearly A Dating Bible

    This book manages to live up to its title in a way that few pop-psychology texts I've read have. While not a "Relationship Bible", it comes awfully close if your intent is to steer clear of unhealthy men. The authors rather extensively profile 25 prototypical male "losers" to avoid dating at all costs. We are treated to a thoughtful --and often unnerving-- unveiling of the many seemingly harmless "little" male behaviors we tend to overlook as early as the first few dates. The reader is introduced to subtle and not-so-subtle clues in what the guy in question says and does that can spell big trouble. Advice on how to break loose is also offered. Perhaps you feel vaguely uncomfortable with the person you're dating, not knowing why. This book may be immensely helpful for anyone who is dating a person they feel confused or conflicted about. It is also for anyone who desires a crude method of deciding who (or what) s/he is really dating (and if she wishes to sign up for more of what is sure to come). Take advantage of psychological expertise and sophistication, spiked generously with quirky sarcastic humor! You may find that these dating losers sound like females you've known or heard about too. I think either gender will get an education by reading Red Flags. One could also potentially save years or even a lifetime of heartache and misery.
