Summary: This Helps Neither Side
Review: I'm sorry, but this book is filled with the same advice manipulative women use on men to get MONEY from them. The only difference is that the authors encourage the reader to manipulate women to get as much sex from them as possible. Without any shame, they encourage using older and women and women with low self-esteem for sex. It's also ridiculous that these men actually teach the reader that his sense of self worth will increase with the number of lays they get. But hey, with so many sex hungry men out there wondering what it is women want, this book is bound to be a big seller.Men don't like it when WE put up fronts and drop compliments to get money and other favors, so I'm shocked there's a book--and quite a hateful one--that encourages men to do it back, with a vengeance. This book teaches nothing about men making themselves *more suitable sex partners* by doing what really counts: being courteous, losing weight, and increasing the size of certain, ahem, things. Learning to socialize and being a woman's friend wouldn't hurt either. But alas, most men don't like improving themselves at all and think women should accept them they way they are, no matter how fat, dumb, and poorly endowed. And there's nothing a book can do about that! In any case, I'm glad I'm smart enough not to fall for any of the juvenile tactics in this book. Wanna find out what a woman wants and how to get laid? Here's a tip: MAKE WOMEN FRIENDS and they'll be glad to tell you!

Summary: Excellent Summary of a Lot of Wisdom regarding Women
Review: This book is very well written. It is largely simple and to the point. It doesn't pretend that there aren't choices to be made in life. If you follow the advice in this book, your dating success as a man will likely improve. I do believe that the book is written with a US worldview. It probably also works in Europe and other Westernized places, though I'm not certain how well this advice translates to the Third World etc.

Summary: Key Insights
Review: It seems to be a love it or hate it book. After reading the book, most of the information in it is now "obvious" to me. However, it wasn't obvious before. The book does, by the way, work. The critical behavioral change that I think most men could benefit from that this book offers is to change your strategy from impressing women with who you are and your character, to making them feel passionate about you ... . And really, if you think about it, this goes the opposite way too. Would you really date a woman because she's a good person if she seemed totally frigid and passionless? This is the key to both long-term and short-term relationships with women, and the single element in common with all of the men I've ever known who were good with women, from rich to poor, great jobs to no job. ... The only thing it does is make the claim that romance is about men planning, flowcharting and doing everything they can do make all the details work, and women being taken through an adventure that seems spontaneous and unplanned. But intellectually, everyone knows that to make the adventure work requires a lot of effort, but the fantasy is very appealing, and there's nothing wrong with that. ... I would argue that every guy I've ever known who has been successful with women is romantic, even if its just "its a turn on, the fact that he is independent and does what he wants to do and isn't controlled by women" The bottom line is the "turn on" part. Finally there have been many comments about the book being "juvenile." Well, it is somewhat juvenile. If you narrate what actually goes on in a romantic encounter in prose, it sounds juvenile. That doesn't mean that it can't be executed in a mature way, though. Just to show that I'm being even-handed here, I will say what I think is silly about the book, but its not enough to knock off a star. First, it mentions trying to date waitresses and hostesses and other restaurant/bar staff. I'd like to say that I think that doing so is one of the worst uses of your time possible. If it happens, great, but why pursue women that everyone else is pursuing?

Summary: Suprisingly enlightening
Review: Sure it seems desperate. Sure it seem silly. But ask yourself this... did you have to learn to drive a car? To do your job? To tie your shoes, wash your hands, wipe your arse? You didn't just "pick up on" any of these things... you learned, and were instructed, and failed and tried again, and learned some more till finally you figured it out. So why should dating be any different. Any soft-headed mook who tells you to "be yourself" around women can ask all my exes what I'm like when I'm myself... I'm alone. Do you want to be with someone charming, sexy, smart, and fun? Then guess what you need to do? Be charming, sexy, smart and fun. That's romantic. Being sullen and genuine gets you nowhere, taking out a bad mood on someone you care about it just plain rude. Sadly, it took me reading this book to figure it out, and I wish I had read it when I was 10 and saved myself and my exes 20 years of [pain.] Message of book summed up: be nice, fun, polite, romantic and ALWAYS honest with women. This doesn't mean you tell them you're studying how to get sex, it means you don't meet a girl you know is only worth a short-term relationship that you love her, and it means you don't treat the woman you love like one of the guys. This book reminds us all that it takes effort, attention and caring to be good with, and more importantly, to, women, and then it's up to you to do with it as you will. Personally, I'm enjoying dating as much as I want, and I know when the time comes, and the right woman comes in my life, she will be happy and fulfilled by the loving man she has in her life, because I finally took it upon myself to understand what she needs, and grew up to become a man.

Summary: This Works
Review: Pretty Simple read the first five chapters or so and changed my attitude, and how I approched women. Within a few weeks I have begun seeing results that have never occurred to me before. I am definitely investigating more idea this book has to offer and am buying a copy for a friend of mine.

Summary: certain kinds of success, with certain women only
Review: The book is full of good, practical advice about enjoying your life and especially about being a self-respecting man. This really is the strong point of the book. This is not a guide to creating meaningful relationships, but to getting women in bed. The authors don't have any useful advice about creating emotional or spiritual intimacy. (Of course, if you're not having any sex at all, then emotional and spiritual intimacy are pretty superficial, aren't they?) If you want a meaningful relationship, then a lot of their advice is worthless. The authors admit that they don't know how to succeed with some women--or rather, they state that some women just can't be seduced. Many, many desirable women will not fall for the simple program of seduction these authors present. (Quite a few would.) Just because a woman won't be seduced by the method of these authors, doesn't mean she can't be seduced. Basically their advice can't hurt, though. I rated the book so low because of its limited, ultimately superficial application. While some sex is better than no sex, casual sex just isn't enough: and that's all this book is about.

Summary: I'm Back!!!!!
Review: I was pretty active in dating back in my mid to late twenties, but spent the first few years of my thirties depressed, practically giving up on women and throwing myself into my career. I'd like to start dating again, and ultimately find someone special to settle down with. This book is getting me back in that frame of mind, and I'm starting to feel confident again. I've been flirting more than ever using the tips in the book. I definitely wish I had this book about five years ago. Most of the tips remind me of what I learned about successful job interviewing. I studied a few books and found that being honest and being myself was not going to cut it. Many times I knew I was the right guy for the job, but unless I acted like the guy that they wanted I never got anywhere. This is not fair, and it will drive you crazy if you ponder over it. The same goes for dating, as I'm beginning to learn with this book.

Summary: Good info on "chat room politics," but it's not the Bible.
Review: I think there is definitely some great info in this book. It's really not covering anything new, but you will find a lot of good reminders on things you know, but just don't practice in daily life. However, I found a lot of what these guys were talking about hard to believe. Maybe it just doesn't come off well in print, but some of their suggestions for flirting were really corny. I see guys try things like this all the time and get shot down in flame within seconds. If you've ever seen two people having a conversation, but not really connecting to each other (a.k.a the guy not getting the hint she's not interested), you'll know what I am talking about. I think the truth to the success that the "seduction masters" had, assuming this book is true, is that they played the numbers game. As we know, there are a lot of lonely women without a good self-esteem that will latch onto anything that comes their way. This isn't the book for people who are looking for a serious relationship though. It's basically just "chat room politics" in print. If you like hanging out in AOL chat rooms and picking up lonely women, go for it. If you're in the real world and have even a hint of social skills, you'll do better with something else.

Summary: An excellent book. Guaranteed to deliver.
Review: I bought this book 3 years ago. I've read a lot of books in this subject. And they [are bad]. But this book rocks. Simple as that. These guys know what they're talking about. Read it and Use it. If you can't get laid after following this book, you can't get laid. Full stop. And if you're looking for a relationship, that will also help you because it tells you how to act around women and attract them like flies. Then you have a number to choose a good women from. I've used it the advise they give again and again and again, and I only fail when I ignore their advice. Whenever I feel that my dating skills are rusty, I read the chapter I need. And it works like magic!!!! Can say enough good stuff about it. Changed my life.
