Summary: Much Better than R Don Steele's Nonsense, However......
Review: John White writes under the phoney name of R. Don Steele and this book is far superior in every way to John White (Steele's) hopelessly foolish fluff (unless you want a fat girl like White is married to). Louis and Copeland are young enough to know what works, however......the book is about 100 pages too long. And advice like pretending not to have called when she leaves her phone off the hook is baaad! Best advice here is that a man should have a fulfilling life, which leads to having a good paying job which naturally makes a man a much better catch.
This book is full of ideas, one should realize that not every strategy is worth using or right for your own personality type. I suggest listening to Tom Leykis's national talk show (and check out blowmeuptom dot com), and the book "A Man' Guide to Women", available just enter the name in your search engine.
At least the authors do not resort to posing as women in their online group as John White (R. Don) did in his infamous "Jane Thomas" episode that reduced his group's membership by 90%.
Overall, this book is a C plus.

Summary: Really a life saver
Review: For me, I've gone through my life really intimidated and scared of women. I've really struggled since high school to approach women and date. I've had very minimal success. I am now 30, and am embarressed to say that I've dated very few women.

Last year I read the work some other dating guides for men and even bought some expensive tape courses, but none of them worked for me. I felt like I had to lie to get women and that really slimly and really manipulative.

I bought this book hoping it would help me. I thought that if it was so long it might actually have some substance to it. I have been very surprised at how useful and practical the advice in this book has been. And I've made some good steps towards meeting women.

In this book the authors actually break down the steps required
to meet women. Is the information always easy to apply? No, it can be intimidating, but not because of the authors easy to read style, but because new skills are scary.

I was able to read the book pretty quickly and I immediately began to change my flirtin habits with women. And I was really suprised that the techniques worked. Within the first few weeks I got a few phone numbers, and then after a month I had my first few dates. I've really worked this program, moving from priming date to seduction date. I've really worked on my skills in talking to women and in how I view dating in general.

This book was the best investment of ... I've ever made.

Summary: Not Worth It
Review: This book basically tells you how to lie and act to get someone into bed as fast as you can. It's not going to help if you're looking for a lifelong partner rather than giving into your shortsighted desires.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Book - Stupid Title
Review: This isn't a perfect book on woman but it does provide a lot of insight on how to be more successful when dating and dealing with woman. I would recommend it to most guys as a good dating primer if the title was better. Unfortunately, the authors chose the title it has and guaranteed that most guys won't read it or show it to any of their male friends.

A better title would have been 'A Mans Guide to Dating the Modern Woman' or something. I hope the authors read this review some day and rename the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book
Review: I'm in my twenties. I have never had a girlfriend. I felt it was about time to learn the tricks of the trade. I read the book cover to cover. Two weeks later, I got a girlfriend. We are going on two months now. Enough said. Get this book.

Summary: You get what you want out of it...
Review: Someone said this book is properly titled "How to be a playa". This is true, though I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. The advice in it IMHO seems sound, though a bit cold; I'd like to give it four stars but I strongly suspect a lot of the case histories are shallwesay less than true. Saying that it stereotypes women is a bit harsh, though, as the "stereotyping" is much more elaborate.

The writing style is rather loose (Eric Raymond's Sex Tips For Geeks page gives a lot of the same advice much more concisely), but entertaining; these guys obviously know how to write an instruction manual, even if they're blowing smoke some of the time. Also, despite their "this is the only way" idea, it does seem as though a lot of what they say can be pick-and-choose -- if you're not too comfortable with the mass dating thing, you can still use some of their techniques.

I do recommend it, though only to those whose personalities are not very conducive to being hit on. Quantity to find quality -- that's a pretty exhausting (and potentially messy, if not flat out ugly) way of doing the job, but it will work eventually. As for whether it's changed my life... not yet, but I got some issues to work out that this book can't help me with before I get to the good part.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Possibly the best book ever written!
Review: This may be the best book ever written... on any topic! It takes a topic that is a mystery for many men (and most psychologists) -- the art of meeting women -- and gives a clear, step-by-step approach that can't help but improve the odds for most guys. This book is better than most of the relationship books from well-known authors that are on the bookstore shelves! There isn't any one key to success... It's all in the details, and this book is chock full of them; nearly 500 pages of details, tips, and examples. The authors have really done their homework.

The book has one controversial aspect, and I'd like to take a stab at explaining it. Some have criticized the book as being a book for "players", because the authors recommend dating several women at the same time. Well, when you are trying to meet women and create a relationship, that probably isn't a bad idea (and the authors have some very good logic about why it is a very good idea). Once you develop a solid relationship, that part becomes unimportant, replaced by your new partner. I think the issue is just that simple.

Just as Mars and Venus was a breakthrough in relationship books, this book is a breakthrough in CREATING relationships. The authors are tremendous humanitarians to share their knowledge with the rest of us.

In case it isn't obvious, I loved the book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Life Changer!
Review: Imagine being slapped in the face - hard and without warning - and awakening from a dream to a world you don't recognize. Suddenly up is left and the sky is green; everything you know is wrong. You now appreciate what I went through when I discovered this book, which my friends and I now like to call "The Bible."

Bookstores are lousy with books on "dating tips." Some aren't bad, but few do much in the way of addressing how to avoid being pidgeonholed as a "friend" by women you're attracted to. After years of struggling and floundering in the darkness, I found the answers I was looking for here. The advise is practical, detailed, and to the point, and rich in useful examples. I'm not convinced all the examples given are based on real events, but they make their point. The "dialogue" in the hypothetical anecdotes gets cheesy in spots, so I don't recommend quoting it word for word. Other than that, the book's advice is detailed and spot-on. If you follow this book's guidance to the letter, your love life and life in general WILL improve. End of story.

Some have said that this is a book about how to be a "player." I would argue that this book teaches men - ALL men - how to take control of their love lives, as opposed to being at the mercy of the fickle winds of Fate. For that alone, this book accomplishes its objective, and earns my highest possible recommendation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I wish I bought this book 30 years ago!
Review: This is the best book I have ever seen, read, or heard about about being successful with women. For Decades I have wished for a great book that could explain how women think and how to understand them and be able to give it your best shot with them if you are really interested in getting to know them and if you like them how to get things heated up. I've dated a lot of women and even with your long time girlfriend or wife it is difficult to get them in the mood for some passion play. I am not a player. I only want one great women at a time and will give the relationship my best to make things work out before moving on. However if I had read this book when I was a lot younger it would of saved me years of making stupid mistakes. Why re-invent the wheel when you can save yourself years of painful trial and error with the thousands of useful tips in this book. I am very spiritual (not-religious) and I am using this book in a positive way to find a soulmate not to get handfuls of women to have sex with and ditch. In addition to this book I suggest books on expert kissing, G-Spots (yes it is real) and WOW it turns women real hot and you into a rare expert with your finger, also a great book on giving great oral sex, also how to keep it up longer, also a great book on NLP to build extra rapport with anyone. If you are offended by this book you are taking it too serious. Not every guy wants to be a player. I figure most just want one great woman who is frequently really hot with them and loves them. Many parts of this book can help you do that. If you just want tons of women and sex this book can help there too until you decide you want real love which when you find it the lovemaking turns into estasy. Making love is way better than having sex. I know I've been in serious basically long term love with 5 great women in the last 9 years, one at a time, and had sex with many great women in my life. Still I needed tons of info. this book has. It lets you still be a very nice person and greatly increase your desireability with women. If you don't buy this book it is better for me as I've have less competition. If women find this book offensive then maybe they can write a detailed description of how to understand them and what makes them hot or how to get them in the mood basically every date or a few times a week if they know themselves that well and give it to every guy they are considering dating or they can keep their negative comments to themselves until they lighten and loosen up. Women should come with cautions and instructions. They don't so just buy this book and if you don't like it give it to a single male friend and he will owe you bigtime. Remember you still need to buy some other books to make you the hottest lover she ever had. Forget about the subliminal tapes and trying to hypnotize women or putting them in a trance as some websites suggest. That is demeaning to women and men. I don't want to encounter women's bad vibes leftover from jerks who abuse women. If you abuse women get some help or get your self-committed. Whatever you do buy this book and work on getting balanced in a loving way.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This has hit and miss advice
Review: On my on-going search for that right book on what women like from men when it comes to dating and how to make love to them the way they like it, I read this one. It's a near impossibility to find the kind of book that gives the kind of information that women think will work, instead of what men think. Although this does have some good pointers, much of this is just common sense.

My biggest complaint about this is that the authors say you can't turn a friend into a girlfriend, and, if you talk to her about her problems, she will then not want to be your girlfriend, because she will associalte you with her problems. This is the usual garbage you find in these kinds of books. That's why it is so hard to find a GOOD book on what women think, instead of what men think. But, for the price, it's still worth buying. It does offer some good pointers on how to succeed with women, to a point. For this big book, you just have to go through all the typical nonsense first. Well, my search goes on....
