Summary: Terrible, Terrible Advice
Review: I can't believe anybody in there right mind would recommend this book. While you're doing all the so-called flirting moves, like the book suggests, on you're potential mate, she's eyeing and thinking about the tall good looking, financially successful stud across the room. Please don't believe this junk works for a second. Totally embarrassing.

Summary: Naive
Review: This book so naive to the realities of dating and the nature of women that you have to wonder if the 2 authors who wrote it ever dated in their lives.The basic premise of theis book is that you if simply hit on a certain number of women, one will probably go out with you. That's like saying that that if I buy enough lottery tickets one day, I can possibly win the lottery. The techinques used to "seduce" women are even worse. One reviewer nailed it on the head regarding the techniques:the only thing they'll help you do is help you look gay. This book does not illustrate anything else to help seperate you from the other 500 guys trying to compete for the same woman. In fact, this book will not only not help you keep up with the competition but will help eliminate you all together. Get real.

Summary: As Stupid As They Come
Review: This book is a waste of time and money. The advice is awful and not realistic. Women want men with style, cash, and some degree of looks. This will only make you look weak, desperate, and pathetic.

Summary: Life Saver
Review: Thank You Ron and Dave,
You guys have turned my entire perspective around. I was really stuck in a rut before I read your book, but now I am realing with motivation, confidence and hoards of women. I have never felt so good and so at ease about women in my life. Great book.

Summary: Good Theory, Poor Application
Review: This book is extremely focused on statistical evidence to suggest ways to meet and pick up women. Unfortunately it is mostly a summary of the statistics, and seems to suggest that all women are mindless robots who all behave in the exact same way. The book is focused mostly on sex as opposed to relationship building or dating. It certainly has some good pointers, and does a great job of summarizing the key points to each chapter. The material is extensive and well-organized, and as long as you're not expecting to figure out the age old secrets to love and happiness from reading a single book, this will provide you with a useful perspective and things to keep in mind next time you're hitting on that cute blonde at the end of the bar.

Summary: The BEST BOOK on the subject. PERIOD.
Review: I wrote a review on this book a couple of months ago before I had even finished reading it. I gave it 5 stars because after the first few days I started reading it I saw lots of resutls. Now that I'm done with the book, if I could give it 25 stars I would. Now, please let me make it very clear that this book will only be great if you have a decently satisfying and fulfilling life other than your dating scene. This includes your financial situation (no need for millionaires, but just stable enough), looks (not a Mr. Universe, but at least not 150lb. overweight), and most importantly, motivation.
This book will lead you through every step of the way to getting where you want to get womenwise. If all the above mentioned conditions are met, then you are bound to succeed with this book. I went from no sex at all, except for some desperate women, to having more gorgeous quality women than I can handle. And by gorgeous I mean seriously gorgeous.
If you have these things I mentioned above, but just feel you've been doing the wrong things all along, then this is your book. If you have self-esteem and lifestyle issues aside from your dating life, you need to work on that first. And I don't mean to be rude, I've been there done that myself.
If I had known how this book would have changed my life, I would have paid thousands for it. NO JOKE.
One piece of advice (the authors mention this, but not enough): EXCERCISE. Do some kind of workout. Go to the gym. No need to become an Arnold, but working out is the single strongest self-esteem booster.
Finally, you do not need to follow this book as a user's manual. Take what you need and what applies. Most of it is written like a true Bible on the subject, but this is not a college textbook, so use what you see fit.

Summary: One guys success story.
Review: First off, i think that anyone who rates this book 1-3 stars simply hasn't read the book or has read it and hasn't learnt from it and incorperated what is being said into their own lifestyles. The simple fact with just about any book is that 80% of the content you desire is in 20% of the text. You glance over this book...or just read it casually without noting, processing and analysing what is being said, then dismiss it. I feel sorry for all of you, your pesimism makes you fail before you even start reading the book. I think your main problem is that you are looking for some sort of magic bullet, you expect to read the book and then somehow on some sort of unconscious level you start using what is being taught. WRONG IDEA FELLAS!
Has anyone actually tried going up to several women and just saying "hi" to them? anyone tried keeping and maintaining eye contact? Now i'm currently going out with my great 19 year old girlfriend and having sex with an equally great 22 year old hair model (i met her when Jo and i were dating - and she knew i was dating a few girls at the time). She does some shampoo commercials in our country as well as a few other commercials. My girlfriend does know i'm having sex with this other girl and doesn't mind (because me and my girl only get to see each other on the weekends and she knows i'm a horny guy who needs sex) she doesn't have sex with anyone else cos she's a "nice girl" she knows i love her and that the sex with sarah (the hair model) is just that, sex and nothing else. I wouldn't have gotten over my break up with my ex and met anyone new if it wasn't for this book, getting me started. It was hard at first but trial and error, learning from my mistakes and here i am, feeling better than ever. I am currently unemployed, living with my parents (though i spend alot of time at either my girlfriends of sarahs house),and studying to be a relationship counsellor. I personally think that money or looks have NOTHING to do with succeeding with women. For some it might help but i think women are more interested in someone who can make them feel the way they want to feel. If you are a little shy, trying to bounce back from a relationship or just interested in getting that part of your life called "understanding women" to a good start then this is a GREAT book. It's a great primer and for some might be the one and only text you need. GET THIS BOOK NOW!
READ IT, LEARN IT, PRACTICE IT.

Summary: Only makes sense to those with no common sense
Review: or those who have had NO experience with women. I found this book atrocious. It is a 450 page book with about 3 pages of real substance. Some of it is repeated fluff. Some of it is common sense... These people tell you to ask the girl if she wants to get ice cream if you get her in bed and you aren't attracted to her. When talking to the bank teller, these geniuses instruct you to say, "Thank you, O Banking Goddess." In fact, calling a girl a "goddess" seems to be a recurring line in the book. Rest assured, girls will think you are a creep, loser or psycho (or all of the above) if you say, "Thank you, O Banking Goddess." Even worse was their list of ways to meet women. Among the suggestions were going to a Renaissance fair, reading romantic poetry at a coffee shop, volunteering for causes, doing card tricks in the line for a movie, carrying a large stuffed animal in a shopping mall, borrowing a friend's baby, and USING HAND PUPPETS. I am not kidding, folks. If you do these things, a girl will not only have no interest in you, but she will probably also think you are gay. Their sure fire tips for bagging babes are pathetic. They believe the law of averages applies to women in that if you flirt with every woman you see, one will be interested. That is absolutely ridiculous. The only thing that will accomplish is people avoiding your annoying idiotic self. Plus, NO woman will be interested in you (even with the law of averages) if you use the corny dialogue they promote... Use your common sense. If you are a fat slob, start working out, buy some nice clothes, clean your house and car. Read men's magazines for fashion tips. If you need a little extra help picking up women, buy _The Guide To Picking Up Women._ It's a quick read and is very, very useful...

Summary: I feel pretty stupid buying this book.
Review: I would give this book one star but there are probably some guys out there that do not know the amazingly simplistic things these guys tell you. If you don't know to go to the dentist, not to wear sweatpants in public (see Seinfeld episode), and not let your hair grow down your neck, then buy this book. Other facts, such as good places to meet women, i.e., bookstores, coffee shops, are common knowledge. Some advice, such as first dates should be short and are best at coffee shops are intelligent but again should already be known. Bottom line, I don't have "game," and if you don't have that you aren't going to meet womeon. This book helps you in the conversation department. Other obvious directions are give up the cancer sticks and talk to all women. I guess that works. There is no magic pill guys, and this book won't help you.

Summary: THIS BOOK MAY NOT BE FOR ALL, BUT GREAT FOR SOME
Review: I think some people who have looked at this book say that it is a waste of time because it is common sense. Well, all success in life to some extent is exactly that! Common sense. One person reviewing it said women chased after him once he became healthy, lifted weights, the authors spoke about improving your physique in the gym, being confident, and sometimes people can be drawn to you, but this book can encourage you, I think, to be more assertive, conscious of the singles you send, how you talk, dress, present yourself, and I thought it was an eye opener that women liked jerks, because they look strong, and women want to feel protected. The men present this illusion. I do think genetics does play a role, but I am not one to leave everything to simple genetics, the power of the mind has to do with it, and they try to give you the tools.. Sometimes it is too much, but they have got me thinking.
