Rating:  Summary: wish I would have read this book years ago Review: You can look at this book as a rulebook or maybe an advanced technique book. Just as knowing the rules to football will not make you a star player, this book wont turn you into don juan. On the other hand, without knowing the rules, you will have a much harder time. I only followed the recommendations I felt comfortable with (about half) but I eliminated all of the things that I was doing wrong. I went from striking out every time to hitting a home run after reading this book. Well worth the money (and then some)
Rating:  Summary: Lots of pages for little money, and there's a reason Review: This book is terribly written. The authors may have intentionally loaded it with grammatical errors just to draw your attention away from the lack of true substance. Have you ever watched one of those half hour info-mercials on late night TV? This book is written that way. The book continues to advertise itself, even when you're almost done with it. "By studying the techniques in this book, you will learn how to overcome a woman's biggest fear" belongs in the introduction, not on page 380 something! They spend page after page telling you how important it is to, for instance, dress right. Then it's only two sentences telling you what "dressing right" is, and they have no concrete suggestions in them. And, like the info-mercial, it leaves you pumped, but without having really done anything for you that will help in your quest. How many books do we need to tell us that women don't really enjoy us farting around them? For this advice you think you should spend money?Here's a top notch suggestion from the book. To paraphrase: "You've probably been in abolutely gorgeous homes, ones in which it would be easy to seduce any woman. Your income may not support such a home, but it is easy to decorate your home inexpensively and achieve the same effect." Then they tell you to keep it neat, and that the kitchen can be messy as long as she does not have to see the kitchen until after the seduction. That's it. And that's how deep most of the real suggestions are. And the authors claim over and over that they have researched the subject, but there's no evidence here that they did any research at all. Based on what they've written, everything they recommend comes from anecdotes they've heard. From that perspective, this book is dishonest in some very important literary areas. The publisher should be remanded for allowing it to get out its doors this way. Unfortunately, there aren't any truly good books on the subject. Far too many of them, like this one, treat women as if they were a commodity. NONE of them help you find the woman you really want, but just target the vacuous, superficial type. I wish I could recommend another book. Anything by Ross Jeffries could get you into legal trouble; that man has some serious self-esteem issues that he tries to ameliorate by figuratively flogging women in public. I just received "A Man's Field Guide to Dating", and a quick scan shows some promise, although I don't think it gets down to any specific techniques. Zero stars
Rating:  Summary: The bottom and I don't mean derriere Review: How does junk like this get published? This book says nothing that a 13 year old, of either sex, would not find objectionable. There is no concept, just a lot of low life deception that would turn off a girl of 15, not to say 24. The idea of there being a technology for relating to women is about as destructive as you can get. So where are these guys coming from?
Rating:  Summary: The best book ever written on dating Review: This book has changed my life forever; not only with women, but with myself and the way I view my interactions with women. This book is the most comprehensive dating book I've read and really digs into deep issues about meeting and dating, but also about building confidence as a man and having a powerful life. I really thank the authors for the contribution to my life and to other men's lives as well. The information contained has helped me date more, flirt more, and feel much better about myself when I am around women.
Rating:  Summary: For pigs and jerks Review: I love the part about mindgames with a chick who stands you up. Wait a week or so, call her to apologize for standing her up and see what happens. Yea, man, this is real thing. Lying, cheating and double dealing.
Rating:  Summary: Where's the beef? Review: This book reads like a badly written high school essay. Maybe the authors were high on their porn web site when they wrote it. I tried real hard to find something in there but I couldn't. Maybe their ultimate wisdom is that you don't have to know or do anything to succeed with women. Maybe it's that being a selfish pig works.
Rating:  Summary: They know their stuff Review: Simply wonderful. Practical advice you can digest slowly or put together and use all of it in one all encompassing swoop. Most books on this subject are horrible, this one is plainly the best there is. If you buy only one, this is it. So packed with information I keep it as a reference as well. If you buy only two, I also suggest "How to make anyone fall in love with you". Every man should have the technology presented in these books. Especially this one!
Rating:  Summary: How To Succeed With Sales Clerks Review: Within this book are the systematic instructions for bedding a woman--a great peptalk for men who need some blunt advice to get them back on the saddle and in the sack again. However, the book falls a little short for me because there is something lacking in the spirit of the advice. The authors suggest you "date" a woman up until she starts to get too serious, and then...let her go. Why? Because its all about getting sex, and not really about forming a loving relationship with woman. Call me old-fashioned, but I have always had a hard time pursuing one without the other.
Rating:  Summary: I read it, I went out, and went home with a beautiful blonde Review: I am not kidding. I looked bad, had a bad attitude, tried some of the stuff anyway and still ended up back at her place. The only reason I didn't have sex that night was because I only got through half the book that day and made a lot of bone head mistakes. I got her number anyway, she is thinking of me now and we're going out for dinner this week and I have another date next weekend with a different woman. A dark haired 26 year old musician. I cannot even begin to tell you how great I feel. After being in a draining 3 year relationship, I feel I understand what makes a woman feel special and how I can help her feel that way and help me to get laid. Now, when I want to settle in for a relationship it can be without me sacrificing my entire existence to her emotional life. I have seen the light and it is this book. The only reason I cannot give this book 5 stars is because some of this stuff I don't have the balls to say or do. Yes, Goddess of Toys is stupid and so is winking but that's just not my style of talking or dealin with anyone.
Rating:  Summary: Very informative Review: I'm still reading this but I'll say its very informative. The authors reliance on this "super flirt" Bruce dude though is a bit too much. You use his tactics and you'll be labeled "corny". I think where this book succeeds most at is bridging the communication gap between men and women. I know I learned a thing or too on how women think/perceive things. That alone makes it a good buy.
