One Man’s Humorous
Look at Modern Dating
Confessions of a Middle-Aged Babe Magnet
by Chad Stone is a Delightful Hybrid of a Memoir and a
Dating Self-Help Book
Publisher: Soulmate Media
Confessions of a Middle-Aged Babe Magnet is groundbreaking book that succeeds by being
fresh, entertaining and unique. It’s a humorous memoir that tells the story of a middle-aged
man’s quest to learn the dating skills necessary to find the last love of his life. But Confessions of
a Middle-Aged Babe Magnet is also a self-help book, because Chad Stone uses his real-life
experiences to illustrate a series of “Babe Magnet Rules” that provide insightful advice on how
to find, woo and win a modern woman.
As the story begins, Chad Stone is newly divorced after a long marriage, and he is admittedly
clueless about dating in the 21st century. He laments that he doesn’t know if the old rules still
apply. Are men still expected to ask women out? Is it OK for a man to initiate a kiss without
getting slapped with a harassment lawsuit? And what’s all the fuss about online dating?
With a refreshing tongue-in-cheek, self-deprecating attitude, Mr. Stone fancies himself a
“middle-aged babe magnet in training” and pens his first Babe Magnet Rule: “To be a Babe
Magnet, you have to believe you are a Babe Magnet.”
It’s not a short or simple journey, because Stone has a lot to learn about women. Stone writes
about everything from the best way to approach a woman in public to speed dating and
relationship breakups. His observations about online dating are hilarious—although sometimes
politically incorrect. (Crazy cat ladies might take offense.) Stone may step on a few toes, but his
witty barbs are right on target. He also has a vivid imagination, which he shares freely. Some of
the best chapters of the book take place solely in Stone’s mind.
Initially, women may balk at being privy to the uncensored thoughts of a single man. (When they
make a movie of this book, it will be rated R.) But Stone pulls women in with honest advice and
an endearing vulnerability. Any woman who ever wanted to know “What is he thinking?” will be
truly enlightened by reading Confessions of a Middle-Aged Babe Magnet.
In the end, despite the hilarious comments and the Middle-Aged Babe Magnet persona that Stone
wears as protection from female rejection, the author is a true romantic. He discovers that the
realm of dating is one of the last bastions of old-fashioned values, where men are the hunters and
women are the prize to be won. By the middle of the book, Mr. Stone has discovered what we’ve
known all along: he doesn’t want to be a Babe Magnet at all—he wants desperately to fall in love
one last time.
Spoiler alert: The book ends with Babe Magnet Rule #92: “A Babe Magnet knows when to stop
chasing Babes and commit himself completely to the woman of his dreams.”
You can’t help but smile and say, “Atta boy, Chad.”
