Summary: My Dating Bible
Review: This is a long and VERY comprehsive book on everything a man could possibly wish to know about dating women. The authors spent four years together on a special mission to learn how woo the women of their dreams and are clearly masters of the art of dating. They have written it concisely and often in point form but it is still long. Get the hardcover version if you can because you will want to refer to it time and time again.

Summary: I spent nearly $100 on books at Amazon, and this is the only
Review: After getting dates every few MONTHS and having them go nowhere, and having not had a steady releationship in nearly 5 years, I finally decided to do something about it: Change. Consulting your friends on "what am I doing wrong?" will only get you so far. So I spent $100 on books here at Amazon on the subject. This was, by far, the best book on the subject. It is bountiful in its knowlege, respectful towards women, wise in its knowing "been-there-done-that" experience, and concise (300+ pages!). When you read this book, there will be constant flashes of "ah-ha!" going off in your head, no matter how much you think you already know about women. What I liked was that this book does NOT tell you to treat women as sex objects, or that the goal is just to have sex. Quite the contrary, it teaches you that women are beautiful, wonderful creatures full of experiences to share with you, and that it is to BOTH of your advantages to do this! One review of this book said that it doesn't give you opening lines. Well it is not supposed to: the author's approach is that if you use cheesy openers, the woman will spot you for the adolescent male that you are and not a real man who doesn't need the crutch of an opener. From pre-first-step to post-last-step, the authors give you a no-bull lesson on how to succeed with women. Of the bounty of books I got at Amazon, they were all junk except for this one (not to be confused with the other book of the same title, which is garbage) and an absolutely wonderful book called "HOW TO MAKE ANYONE FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU", which actually uses scientific studies to show what "triggers" love and you you, too, can trigger it. Please, please take my advice: this is a great book along with "HOW TO MAKE ANYONE FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU" and will leave you feeling de-mystified at how other guys get all the girls while you're left empty handed. THIS IS THE BOOK I WISH A FRIEND HAD GIVEN ME A LONG TIME AGO. THIS IS A BOOK YOU WILL WANT TO PASS ON TO YOUR MALE FRIENDS!...

Summary: Ye Gads,Can I possibly add something useful?
Review: Not realizing 89 other individuals contributed their thoughts and feelings on this book, I'm not necessarily sure I can contribute anything original or noteworthy but here goes: With it's black cover against chilly white lettering,it reminded me more of a Paladin Press/Loompanics espionage/martial arts/revenge terrorist type manual.At the very least some run of the mill humorist schlock. Regardless of one's point of view it is a well thought out intelligently written book by two guys who obviously put much time into researching what women want from men and how men can make positive lasting impressions on women.I personally used the techniques and advice on a lady who did end up sleeping with me while I multiple dated. And I was never much for multiple dating until I grasped the author's reasonings. All the bases are covered from meeting,flirting,the various types of dates, the first kiss,and even breaking off.All in a straight forward detailed matter. Let's own up guys: We all have our strengths and weaknesses and a book like this, with some real life scenarios, is very good at pointing this out. No guy who completes this book will honestly say he didn't learn at least something about improving not just his dating life, but self image. And remember: real ladies were interviewed. Definitely worth the investment and a book you can continue to refer to throughout the period you are single or looking to attract Ms. Right.

Summary: Take Control
Review: I don't agree with the authors that you should use their advice or ideas so that you can "get lucky." I want to have a meaningful, long lasting relationship and I am using their advice just for that. I have discovered in this book and The RoMANtic's Guide by Michael Webb that in order to succeed with women, you need to understand how to romance them. By seeing how women respond to me know, I couldn't agree more. Buy both these books!

Summary: Thank God Someone Wrote this book!
Review: Finally someone has written a book for me that addresses all my dating needs. I am 37 and have been out of the dating game for a long time and have been picking up the other dating guides out there. I have found mostly thin and very narrowly focused dating books that do not address my needs in a step by step manner. This book is the first of its kind. The first to talk about how to flirt, how to dress, how to apporach, how to deal with trouble. Within two weeks of studying this book I had gone on two dates. In the past month I have slept with a few chicks and am interested in more. I am really happy that Louis and Copeland published this book.

Summary: Where is the beef?
Review: This book was reviewed alot here and I really cannot understand the positive reviews. The book, as do most of these, spends 1/3 of the book telling you why it is great to be what they will teach you how to become. They use stories to back up every argument that are obviously fictitious and just serve to question one's intelligence, much like the infomercials selling you the next great home or exercise gadget that does not work. By page 170, you realize that these people have only addressed a terribly small portion of how to approach women in the first place. At this piotn they are already moving onto dating when they haven't even covered decently how to get the phone number. For example, they tell you to keep your clothes and apartment clean and to say "hi" a lot. They also stress not to take rejection seriously...to make it a sort of game. The odd thing, is they seem to contradict themselves as well. They acknowledge that jerks seem to do better because they do not seem to care about the woman's feelings. Then they spend huge portions of their book seemingly implying that the woman's feelings are what matters most. If you are having trouble meeting women in the first place, this book is clearly NOT for you. Just stay clean and say "hi" a lot and you have saved yourself the time and money on this book. They offer few reasonable ideas on how to initiate conversation with a woman. For example, they say you can meet women in a bookstore, but don't make any suggestions how to start a conversation. They also do not address one of the biggest issues, which is starting a flirtation when other people are all around you. Like, could you call someone the "goddess of cosmetics" while there was a line of women behind you at the counter? That is a phrase they use constantly, "goddess of..." this or that as part of a flirt. The book starts good, gets very long winded in its justification, and dies slowly as it disappoints. Save your money.

Summary: Don't have to follow every point. Can learn a lot from it!
Review: This book teaches you from how to get yourself ready to have a relationship, to what about men that women are attracted to, to how to win her heart, to how to break off with a woman who's not your ideal, for example an emotionally unbalanced girl. And lots more. To tell the truth, I only accept the things that fit into my personal value (my integrity), like the strategy to get a date, to make people like you, but I just discard some of the other stuff that don't fit my values. YOU DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW EVERYTHING THE AUTHOR SAYS LIKE ITS A CULT RULE! Most of the strategies on how to get dates are really practical and useful. I've used some of em before I got this book and they worked perfectly, but now I know WHY and HOW they really work, what's essential and what's idiocyncratic. So I can refine my dating and social skills. Evrything in life needs a STRATEGY. You need a strategy to get good grades in school, you need one to earn money, and you need one to get dates! If you don't need strategy, you'd be able to get dates in your pyjamas and smell of morning breath! Women have strategy to get dates too- they put make up, wear their best, be polite. But what do men do? This book will show you how. It will also show you how to get rid of the fear of failure and rejection. Cos I understand many guys, ESPECIALLY NICE GUYS with a heart who're looking for real relationship are afraid of rejection, and that's why they don't take action, and the jerks do (sorry to the jerks out there). Read this book!

Summary: way off the mark
Review: Very bad misinformation. You men are fooling yourselves if you think that attitude and opening lines will work on women. It is all about looks and money. The authors hint at as much in the beginning of one of the later chapters when they say that women reserve their scorn for us (men) who were not born with movie star looks and/or inherited wealth. Also, a recurrent theme in this book is that women are afraid physically of men when first meeting them. Does anyone ever remember seeing a woman act/behave afraid when receiving flirtation/attention from a pretty boy or rich boy? I remember countless examples of women locking eyes with pretty boy and rich boy ( i.e. man driving expensive car ) in the hope that he will look back. Women dont seem to have to much fear of them, do they? I will say that the advice the authors gave about having more to your life than getting lucky with women is sound and worthwhile. This book is very entertaining even if one does not agree with it. But lets face it; without looks or money even most average looking women will have cold\indifferent attitudes toward you. A closer to truth book would be Matthew Fitzgerald's SEXPLOYTATION. As for my own experience, I own a cheap economy car and a large sports coupe. The attention that women give me when driving the sports coupe compared with econo-hatchback is literally NIGHT and DAY. Go figure that one out!

Summary: The best of it's type
Review: This book has made me sucessful with women. In just a few weeks I have had incredible experiances with women who I totally figured were out of reach. Before I had even finished the book I had several women in various stages in the dating process. They won't kid you, sucessfully dating IS work--sometimes hard, embarassing work. But it gets easier the more you do it. If you have the modivation to simply follow the info in this book it WILL work. I am so glad that I bought this book and corrected the many mistakes that I had been making, and learned so much new things - even basic priniples that I had a flawed understanding of (i.e. being a womans therapist will get you sex - this is a myth). Right now my game is years ahead of my competion, because I know exactly what to, and not to do. You have to have confidence and modivation, If you don't have confidence this book will give you a realistic way of gaining it. Its not filled with pseudo-phychological theories, just good solid, concrete information. Its not for a "sensitive new age guy" unless your willing to modify your view, in the same breath it doesn't degrade women, it simply aknowledges that women like sex, you like sex, so why shouldn't you be the one to give it to them. I intend to recommend it to my friends, and I now enjoy being a wealth of knowlege to my friends on this dating stuff. Oh and a note to all thoose people who attack this book as teaching guys to be manipulative -- I know from personal experiance just being a "nice guy" typically dosen't work in forming a long romantic relationship, Do you really think that the most sucessful daters don't have a plan on what they want to happen, that they just "go with it", they do have a plan just as everyone has ulterior motives to do certain things -- dating is no exception, this book just lays it out the steps in black and white instead of just being in your head. It works.
