Rating:  Summary: Manipulate your message, not your partner! Review: There's a wealth of good plain sense in this book, a rare quality that has a lot of people screaming in anger and giving it one-star reviews. The techniques described will dramatically increase your chances of attracting a mate, and some of them are downright essential. (Those are the ones that successful lovers dismiss as 'elementary' or 'simplistic'. Not everybody knows these things!)Is it manipulative? You can use it that way. But there's nothing manipulative about showing someone that you find them attractive, or trying to display your best qualities -- not the ones you like, but the ones they'll be most interested in. You do the same at a job interview, and finding a life partner is a far more important and serious business than finding a job. The fact is that people are not born with the knowledge of how to start up a romantic relationship, and not all of us were the high-school jocks and prom queens who had all the chances to learn it early in life. Let's be clear about this. Leil Lowndes' techniques ARE manipulative, but it's not your intended lover who's being manipulated . . . it's your own mind, and how you project your emotions. If you are attracted to someone but fear rejection, they will pick up on the fear but not the attraction. It takes skill and know-how to present yourself so that the attraction shows and the fear is muted. Movie directors know the maxim, 'Don't cast one to play one.' Leading men and leading ladies in romantic movies don't necessarily have the hots for one another . . . but they know how to act so that the audience will be convinced. To succeed at romance, you have to do what will convince your audience. The techniques in this book will be an important part of your repertoire.
Rating:  Summary: Is love a game? Review: This is a well written book. No doubt about that. But I doubt if this is the right book for anyone looking for a fulfilling and lasting relationship. The book emphasizes on the difference between the way men and women think, and advises the reader to play mind games. Although her claims are supported by scientific facts, one has to be aware that most of the technics she suggested are only useful to create temporary intimacy. Any lasting and trusting relationship is based on mutual understanding and support of each other. It's who you really are that eventually wins the love and trust of your partner. If one has to put on performance to get love, then that love won't last, trust me. One day, you'll be sicken tired of all this. So many people around us have found love by being who they are, why can't you? Ask your parents how they learnt to love and trust each other. If you are young and just look to mess around, then this book might help. But if you want to find lifelong love, you should look somewhere else. I'm curious how many readers have found lasting loving relationship with the help of this book. If you set out to play games, you can only lose. If this book doesn't help you develop healthy and positive attitude towards the opposite sex, then what would you expect to get from the opposite sex in the end ? In that regard, I strongly recommend the book "10 foolish dating mistakes that men & women commit: And how to avoid them" by Lila Gruzen and Rebecca Sperber. That's the kind of book that deals with the essence of dating relationships. It's about how to better understand each other, not how to fool each other. Stop buying into the "Men vs. Women" syndrome. Instead, look into your own dating habits and attitudes that sometimes ruin a potential relationship. Learn to develop a self-assured and supportive personality. In the end, we all want to love and be loved, we don't want to fool and be fooled.
Rating:  Summary: Nice Read! Review: This book offers some interesting takes on love, mating and dating. I found many of the concepts refreshing and the book made me contemplate the why's and how's people are attracted to certain people. It is one of my favorites along with the classic Stumbling Naked in the Dark by Bradley Fenton. Enjoy!
Rating:  Summary: Excellent book, especially if you want to know the science Review: This is an excellent book. It gives the scientific basis behind love and relationships in a very convincing format. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially someone who wants to have a clearly explained "path" or method to social interaction with the opposite sex. I feel far more confident having read this book because all of the information is supported by studies and science and it falls in line with other information I have read regarding relationships. I suggest first reading "How to Flirt with Anyone, Anyplace, Anytime" (I think that's the exact title) first, because it sets the basics for flirting. This book then goes into detail about why those things work and also gives more information regarding those and new techniques. This seems to be the "universal" book for relationshipss and meeting people if you want a scientific, detailed method to try. I think the outlined "steps" or "tips" in this book give the reader confidence and they also help those of us who are very shy to take a chance based on some scientific facts and clearly defined methods for meeting people.
Rating:  Summary: BUY & USE as long as you're somewhat confident. 8-) Review: I was too embarrassed to attend Leil's recent workshop of the same name here in LA, but when I saw the bookseller had a copy her book, I couldn't resist. Leil offers great advice that's based on behavioral studies and personal experience. These communication (or mating) techniques, however, will not work for you unless you can summon up the courage to use them. I've been told I'm nice looking enough, but because of a thick buildup of psychological scars, I find it terrifying to look most people in the eye, let alone a handsome stranger. I have no doubt that Leil's techniques will work - they just make good sense - no matter how much my inner-feminist complains. I appreciate Leil's upbeat, authoritative style that makes for a fun read. Use it and enjoy the results. I hope to do the same very soon. Note: this book is for adults due to the mature examples cited.
Rating:  Summary: Don't fall for it! Review: If you buy this book -- as I did -- then you deserve the lesson that I learned. Some people just aren't going to fall in love with you, just as you aren't going to fall in love with everyone. If you learn that lesson and learn to be comfortable with it, you'll save yourself a lot of heartache. Don't try to make that one special person fall for you. That person may not really be all that you image him or her to be. However, some of the lessons in this book will make you a more lovable person, and will increase your chances of finding an attractive human to fall in love with you.
Rating:  Summary: "15 ROUNDS AND STILL THE CHAMP!!!" Review: "John Gray needs to move to Mars or Venus! Leil Lowndes is THE GODDESS OF LOVE on this planet!!!" --Chari Krishnan, RESEARCHKING It's been over two years since I first read Leil Lowndes' HOW TO MAKE ANYONE FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU, and after reading the pretenders to the throne like MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS, DATING FOR DUMMIES, and even her closest competitors HOW TO SUCCEED WITH WOMEN, SURVIVAL OF THE PRETTIEST, LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, and THE EVOLUTION OF DESIRE, HOW TO MAKE ANYONE FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU is still the best book I've ever read about Sociobiology!!! Here's what makes HOW TO MAKE ANYONE FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU #1!!! 1. ORGANIZATION!!! I never knew a woman could write like this!!! Not only is this the best book I've ever read by a woman, it's the best organized book I'VE EVER READ ABOUT ANY SUBJECT!!!--A LOGICAL SYSTEM BASED ON RESEARCH ABOUT HOW TO GET A DATE!!! 2. LEIL TALKS ABOUT LOOKS!!! No writer confronts the issue of physical appearance more than Leil does, and in fact I even challenged Leil about her title since part of her system is to use the Bo Derek 10 scale to only pursue people within two points of your looks, so I said to her, you can't really make anyone fall in love with you!!! (BUT I STILL LOVE THE TITLE--IT GOT MY ATTENTION, AND LEIL HAD GUTS TO USE IT!!!) 3. CREATIVITY!!! From the cover and the title, from the premise to the system, Leil has written an entertaining book, and she really impressed me with her unique approach!!! JOHN GRAY NEEDS TO MOVE TO MARS OR VENUS!!! LEIL LOWNDES IS THE GODDESS OF LOVE ON THIS PLANET!!! 15 ROUNDS AND STILL THE CHAMP!!! Chari Krishnan RESEARCHKING
Rating:  Summary: Awesome love guide! Review: This is indeed a very fun book to read. It contains some scientific prenote to the whole love process, how our brain releases a chemical and what triggers the chemical reaction. Then, the rest of the book is more concerned on ways to make someone fall in love with you through a series of techniques, improvements and tips. I really like this book because its not one of theose self-help books which they tell you this and that has to be done, dont pity yourself, give confidence and blah blah blah. Its more a book that shows you a few ways that can attract your potential love partner and what your opposite sex views certain things, and what appeals to them. This book also talks abit about psychology and alot of techniques to manipulate your first impression. Overall, this is a great book and i would recommend this to everyone.
Rating:  Summary: Another great book from Leil Lowndes! Review: Just bought this book and loved it.Forget the men are from mars type books this is what you need.This book is for men and women.Great advice.Now I know why we fall in love. For men I also recommend these books: 1)"U.S.S."by Leil lowndes.(means undercover sex signals or women's body language). 2)"How to pick up beautiful women:secrets every man should know".By John Eagan. 3)"Date out of your league:for men only".By April Masini. You can find more titles under "dating" at amazon.com
Rating:  Summary: Not so flaky... Review: As you might think. Rather a play it safe or maybe play it real book. Is this a sell out of our dreams? I dunno... Having been in relationships where the balance is grossly unequal and felt the peace of looking at someone I knew was the same as me... Just maybe I agree with the author. An interesting & thought provoking book.
