Summary: Hand Puppets? LOL
Review: Ive only half finished this book but I had to write this review because I can't stop laughing. First of all let me say this is a good book, with some good advice but way overdrawn. A lot of common sense, and some stuff that's useful. Don't grovel, put all your eggs in one basket, dont get validation from women, how to deal with rejection, realize dating is a numbers game, all good, practical advice. I about lost it though when the authors started talking about tools to meet women. Carry around a stuffed animal? OK. Go to yoga classes? I've got a better idea, put on some panties and a dress. The kicker though is a paragraph entitled "Hand Puppets". These guys are actually suggesting using a hand puppet to pick up chicks. Yeah!! Why hadn't I thought of this earlier? I'll walk around the club with a puppet entertaining the ladies. DONT DO THIS. ... They must have put that in there as a joke.
Anyway, all in all a good book but after youv'e read it I would suggest checking out "The Art of Seduction" by Robert Greene. That's a masterpiece. Nothing about puppets in it either.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Readable, comprehensive, good practical advice
Review: Of the several books I have read which claim to teach you how to succeed with women, this is clearly the best. It is written from the standpoint of two apparently normal men who discovered that being "nice" wasn't the answer and have developed a number of strategies to deal with the various situations that can arise. The core of it is to play the numbers game and not narrow your focus to one woman too early, otherwise you will appear needy and weak. Obviously written from the male point of view, so most women won't be too thrilled by it, any more than men are by "The Rules". You'll learn more from this book than the others put together.

By comparison:

-Ross Jeffries seems a nasty and twisted little twerp.

-Anthony Badalamenti has his head up his backside (sample: "They see in it the stuff which promises and guarantees that they can trust the man who is getting to her. They want to feel that they are creating in you the wish to offer to worthwhile ends the strength and power which men see in it." Great, Anthony, don't call us...)

-Shwartz and Graff (The Rules for Getting Laid) have written what appears to be a cut-down rip-off of the Louis and Copeland book. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

-R Don Steele has a wealth of practical advice for men over 35 wanting to date young women, but I felt uncomfortable reading his book, partly because of the cradle-snatching slant, and partly because he comes across as a disappointed old cynic who would love to be happily married again. By the end of the revised edition he is married again, but the photo of the happy couple turned my stomach.

Summary: This book is a must read for any guy....
Review: First of all to all the doubters, I was in a bookstore the other day and asked the salesman at the counter about this book. He said the women there had read part of it and laughed at it(mostly because of the usage of the compliments such as goddess of the store, ect ect. I must say that for anyone with any amount of intelligence(and there are a lot of morons out there) if these things are not said with the right inflections in your voice, a bit sarcastically, then yes they are going to sound corny. I had a lot of girlfriends back in high school(and it only occured to me after reading this book) that I used anchoring on about all of them. I didn't get the ones that I wanted because I had an inferiority complex, but now because of the info in this book, I know that I am well on my way to the women that I want. I use the compliments and other sugestions in here on women and it works wonders. I joke on them, I compliment them, and I know from past experience that if I show up often and keep talking romantically to them, they start becoming attracted to me and it is noticable. The point I am making is that these guys know what they are talking about and if some people are too blind to see it, that is there problem.

Summary: A Must Read For "Losers" and "Nice Guys"
Review: This book changed my life. I wish I had read it when I was 14...it would have saved me 23 years of miserable failure after failure in my pursuit for romance. Within 24 hours of reading this book, I had one good-looking girl's phone number and I steered another hot woman's budding "friendship" into a budding romance. This book answers the question nice guys like me always wondered about: why don't we get laid more often? Why do all the girls we're interested in only want to be friends with us?

Great practical advice which, when applied, will not only score you girls, it will boost your self-confidence umpteen times as a result. Plus, the quest for chicks then becomes a worthwhile "hobby" which can divert you from your otherwise boring existence. I found myself thinking less and less about my problems as I became more involved with meeting more women. And, for those of you homebound couch potatoes, it will motivate you to get out more and to get yourself in shape.

A real eye-opener. Highly recommended.

(Oh, and make sure you have it well-hidden when your date comes over!)

Summary: How to be the lowest type of male
Review: This book teaches males to be stupid [prostitutes]. It teaches males how to deceive and manipulate women. This is not "success," it's horrible. The book tells males that because they have the urge they should indulge it and to not do so is somehow bad, which is nonsense. Having sexual urges is normal for men and women, but that doesn't mean that you should make it your life's work to indulge them, as the book recommends. It particularly doesn't mean that you have the right to manipulate and deceive. The book teaches males to [work on] and debase courting gestures, and reduces women to sub-humans whose only function is to provide fleeting gratification. The book actually tells males to literally have "a piece on the side."

Being a successful man is no different from being a successful woman. It's about being an adult, which is based on self-discipline and integrity. Respected adults do not indulge every whim, nor do they intentionally manipulate and deceive with a "detailed seduction plan," as the book would have its readers do. Further, the idea that saving oneself for someone you really love and care about is absolutely not outdated or restricted to women. I'm not suggesting total celibacy, but there is such a thing as having enough pride in yourself that the gift of your body is given only to someone you really care about, who honors you. This applies for men and women.

I do encourage women to read this book (don't buy it though, don't give the authors any more money) so that they can avoid these males like the plague that they are. I would also encourage male readers to try "The Way of the Superior Man" by David Deida.

Lastly, I will remind male readers to consider that at some point you may want a serious, long-term partner, and she is not likely to want an undisciplined slut for a partner, nor will it be ok that "in the past" you used the techniques in this book to hurt, debase and deceive women.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thankful Reader
Review: An even better title would be "The Steps to Getting What You Want and the Foundation of a Good Relationship." This book teaches you EVERTHING you need to know to date and meet women, and most importantly, how to please them. Its my bible and there isn't a man who shouldn't read this!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Must-Buy
Review: Very helpful advice, especially for the clueless guy. The only problem I have with the book is that it promotes the idea of one-night stands and such. Otherwise, a good book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Its All About Attitude
Review: This book isn't just a guide but a real eye-opener to the way you can and should your life. Yes it gives all the techniques and tools to use with women on dates and how to seduce but the most valuable tool that I learned from the book was gaining a positive outlook on life.

Let me tell you before this book I always wondered why I never got girls. I always blamed them and always felt uptight with them. After this book I was able to relax, smile and not care what happens. Soon after I didn't even have to approach girls, but they saw how combfortable I was with myself and immediatly gravitated towards that. Pretty soon I was dating multiple women and having the time of my life. Not only did the women come but I landed my dream job and saw my entire life begin to improve. They stress in this book that you must find validation out of your own life before women begin to enter your life. So if you read this book and are still complaining about not getting women and giving this book low ratings, you need to check your negative attitude at the door and solve the issues within yourself.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Reader from the West
Review: This book is a great start for guys who have little experience with women. I don't recommend this book for guys who already have the ability to approach women and set up initial dates. I think guys would benefit most from the "myths," "habits of effective seducers," and the "confidence" sections of the book. I think there's a process in dating: initial encounter, getting the number, setting up the first date, maintaining interest, getting physical. From my experience, this book is great at helping guys through steps one to three. But the tools/techniques advised will not help with steps four and five.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: THE BEST STUFF EVER!!! (not really)
Review: Although the authers honestly believe that they are preaching the truth, they do not give real examples with real people. They have two made up characters, one is a "ladies man" because he follows the authors' techniqes, and the other one screws everything up because he does not follow their techniques. The one that does everything wrong is Bob. The one that has great success with women is Bruce. After the authors tell you what to do, they show you how Bob screws it up and Bruce does it "right." Everything is meaningless because they don't show how real people use the techniques they teach, they show how good their fictional character Bruce is at picking up girls using their techniqes. I and many others have a feeling that if Bruce tried these techniques in the real world, he would not get so lucky.
