Summary: Good insights, but not entirely a panacaea
Review: I found the insights into the "dating game" in this book helpful from many points of view. I guess I've always labored under the famous assumption that "nice guys finish last" and that rakish success that amasses harems was just something I wasn't born with. The book offers better ways of thinking about myself, and does a good job of listing specific skills (like hygeine, approaching the first kiss, and building an encounter into a life-long love) which give me hope that I, too, can actually have a bit of a say in the choices I and my girlfriends make about sex and relationships. But the book is shoddily presented, with lay-out inconsistencies and a large number of typographical errors, and some of it becomes rather repetitive. As part of a "life make-over", this would be one of many useful tools. As part of a "get chicks fast" ploy, however, this would only be helpful to a limited extent. But the book does give me the confidence to build on my own strengths, to believe that some day I may "land" at least one "woman of my dreams", and to reject the mistaken notion that I will always be a victim of the inexplicable whims of womankind. I _DO_ have a say in my own life!!

Summary: A little abrasive, but it gets the job done.
Review: The book is certainly not sensitive to women's issues but let's get real, guys. Who cares about being sensitive if we are not getting laid? This book has certainly helped me accomplish that objective. Like the authors say, to be successful in anything you have to operate with an outcome in mind. I am 19 and I am sure most of the readers of this book are older than me, but the sooner you read this the better. You will kick yourself in the head when you realize all the mistakes you have made in the past, but you will not make them again if you put what you learn from this book into practice.

Summary: Practical and down to earth
Review: I work in a factory in Pittsburg and don't have much time to date. I started using the material in this book right away after buying the book on a dare from a buddy of mine. I hadn't been dating much for years, and was pretty sure I'd be alone for a while longer. I started using the stuff in the book, and actually trying some new approaches, and the've worked for me. The authors aren't to thank, I did the damn work. At 36 I know enough that no one can do the work for you. If you are alone it is your own damn fault and no book can change that. The best part of reading the book was that it got me off my ass and on the field, so to speak. The authors inspired me, but I took all the risks. I think you should read this book as a primer for dating, not for a miracle cure. Those don't exist.

Summary: Doesn't seem to work. And I've tried!
Review: I read this book about 6 months ago. The attitude of the authors is great, and it has completely changed my way of thinking about women. If what it says is true, then a lot of my conceptions about them were very wrong. However, I've tried to follow the techniques, and have not had a result yet. The authors claim over and over that they include everything you need to know and that if you follow their technique exactly then you'll have no problem, but it still hasn't worked. Maybe the rules are different on a college campus. I'm a med student, in great shape, and not bad looking, but I've still never had a date even after trying these techniques. And I still see the jerks getting all the women. Maybe I need a more remedial book.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I loved the tone and the information in this book. I have already used the information to meet women, and it has only been a few weeks. I have seen my courage and confidence with women greatly expanded through reading this book. Not to mention having lots more fun on the prowl. It hasn't just been snapping my fingers and getting chicks, rather it has been persistent work and effort on my part. But now at least I know what the work IS. The authors have finally presented a framework to date and meet women that really seems to work. I recommend it for any man who has been out of the dating scene for a while.

Summary: Did you guys really take an action?
Review: I think it is natural for many readers to be fascinated by the book because it is interesting to read and sounds inspirational. But I wonder how many of those who praise the book actually took an action and got a positive result. It is often the case that a reader feels inspired by a book but does nothing more than that(and still believes his life has changed). In fact, most of those who give a lengthy praise to the book simply dwells on what is written but tells nothing about his own experience. I cannot give 5 stars because I have not actually got a result yet. Let's not forget that we are still a loser until we actually change our lives. Getting inspired per se does not mean anything for our purpose.

Summary: The most powerful book I've ever read
Review: On a goof, two of my friends and I each bought a copy of "How To Succeed With Women". It has transformed our lives. I used to be like "Bob" in the book--full of self-pity, anger and frustration. Now, after making my apartment more seductive with plants and pictures, upgrading my wardrobe, and realizing that every interaction with a female (no matter how nasty) can teach me something, I have acquired a confidence and an attitude which are helping me not only with women but also at my job and in life in general. Although this book is geared toward helping guys succeed with women, it really improves the (male) reader's overall outlook on life--even more than do the works of the esteemed Anthony Robbins, which I have also read in conjunction with "HTSWW". Some of the other reviews here criticize the book for giving supposedly obvious advice that any male over 16 should already know. But for those of us who went to all-male high schools and took upper-echelon majors in college, and therefore were kept away from normal females during our formative years, this basic info is much appreciated. The week after I finished reading the book, all three of us went to bars and got phone numbers from women! And at least in my case, I didn't even ask for the number--she just gave it to me, on account of my newfound MEANNESS! Granted, all the numbers we got were from Fat Chicks, and we never called them, but it's all about practice, baby! This small success having boosted my confidence further still, I will return to the same bar tomorrow night with loftier goals in mind--prepared, as the book's hero "Bruce" always is, for "the next adventure".

Summary: For the young at heart
Review: I feel that Louis & Copeland's book resonates well with young people, say well under 30, has a good understanding of what is important to them and how to manage it for the better. Their tongue in cheek writing is often amusing and makes for a good read. I see it is as a good success book for the social and sexual issues of early life. Its strongest point, in my view, is how much it is in tune with the ways, values and goals of young males. The between the lines suggestion of experimenting to find what works and to boldly go forward strikes me as sound advice. I wrote the other book by this title and felt obliged to carefully read this one because one of the authors was kind enough to recommend my title.

Summary: A true gem for men who love and respect women
Review: This book is the finest work of its kind I have ever read. It is rich in deep understanding of women, what they truly want and how they see men. It has exercises to help men get a better sense of what women are about and how to offer themselves to women in a way that works. It is well written, easy to read and sincere. The Dr. Badalamenti book by this title is a waste. It says nothing but piles up pages of what seems to be fiction for it certainly gives no understanding. It reducers the reader's desire for sex as something shameful and bad, and makes every reader into some mama's boy. I doubt that the stupid and over pyschological ploys in that waste of paper would work and since I am interested in women as persons and not just as organs. I vastly recommend this book over Dr. Badalamenti's tome.
