The Rules? Puhleeze Any real black woman can tell you that when it comes to African-American men, The Rules is about as good as Monopoly money in Macy's. Waiting three days to return a brother's phone call will get a black woman nothing more than a warm spot on the couch by herself with an empty bag of corn chips and the remote.A sister needs her own special set of rules for finding a brother even when it seems that there just aren't that many good ones to go around. Millner says they are out there but sistahs need to drop their materialistic, brother-in-the white-Benz fantasies and pick up the right vibes for finding a genuine brother who's worth keeping around. The Sistahs' Rules gives black women commonsense guidelines for landing in a healthy relationship with a makes-your-toes-curl brother, including: Get to know his mama, get to know him Use what you got to get what you want Girlfriends are everything, but they don't know it all With warm stories and practical advice from black mamas and papas who've been there and done that, and sistahs and brothers in the mix, The Sistahs' Rules is a sassy, hip, step-by-step guide to finding Brother Mr. Rightand having fun in the process.
Some of the people that wrote they didn't like the book obviously hadn't read it all the way through. Unlike some said it is written to empower a woman enough to get and stay with a man. The first part of the book solely focus' on the woman and getting herself together before she goes out to look for a mate which is what a woman should do before she tries to enter a relationship. The book was wonderful and the people that didn't like it are either bitter and alone or they don't feel like working on themselves first and therefor don't find the book relevant.
Terrific

This book is wonderful. I really enjoyed reading it and I recommend it to anyone looking to find a good black man.
This book was funny, down to earth, and hilarious!

As a well-educated African-American woman (NJ attorney), I am appalled by the readers whom attempted to review a book they obviously didn't read. It appears from reading their review (3 women and 1 man) that they simply read the chapter titles, misquoted them, then proceeded to write their review. For example, there is no chapter entitled "work the booty". If the readers had actually read this chapter which is correctly entitled "Celebrate the Power of the Booty", they would have quickly realized that this chapter deals with the self-image of the African-American woman and overcoming society's narrow beauty standards. I read the book and I enjoyed it. I thought it was witty, though-provoking and entertaining.
YOU GO GIRL!!!!

Obviously Millner has done something right to be writing a book like this. She picks out really great points in her book and also informs women how to respect their bodies and such. And what we need to do is sit some of these BROTHERS down and let them read this book. They may learn a thing or two!!!
i liked the sistahs' rules

Denene Millner was right on the mark with the Sistahs' Rules --- it was refreshing and entertaining. When it comes to dating and meeting men the criteria is different for black women --- thanks Denene for telling it like it is.
