Rating:  Summary: Really useful and practical advice Review: I found this to be the best dating book I've ever read. In fact, i wish I would have read it ten years ago. The book is clear, concise and to the point. Louis & Copeland have covered everthing I needed to know. I found it really useful to look at how to handle conflicts and trouble with women. For me, in the past, I ended up not having sex very often and staying around as a lowly "friend" while other guys dated and got women. I found out from this book how to avoid being a nice guy and how to really go for it with women without selling out. I've been using the material in the book for the past month and it's really helped me turn my dating life around. In the past few weeks I've approached many women and gotten a bunch of phone numbers, gone on some dates, and even more. What I liked about this book is that within a few days you can really apply the information and really use it to meet and date women. With other books they seem to present patterns to say to women, or offer really obvious tips, but this book really presents an overall philosophy and extremely specific tips on what to do. This is really a bargain.
Rating:  Summary: I was lost... but now I'm found. Review: This book brought me out of the dark geekdome I had fallen in and showed me the light. I loved it so much I gave a copy to two of my woman-repelant friends. One read the book, the other didn't. One is now married the other is still single... you make the call. It is definatly worth the price!
Rating:  Summary: a skeptical approach Review: I probably have the worst people skills in the world. I have tried everything and then I found this book. I finished this book in just a few days and needless to say, it is interesting. This book has done a little for me, but for all those so-called players out there, is this the stuff you guys really do? Any of you shy people out there, have you actually tried these techniques? Some of them just seem really liberal.
Rating:  Summary: It does work, but its a real pain Review: Ok, I have complaints and praise. The book does advise you to play women. But then women are attracted to the characteristics of players. By their own arrogant laziness and refusal to part with traditional male/female roles, women are getting exactly what they deserve - played by master seducers. They could ask out a sweet guy but they'd prefer to be lazy and let an "exciting" player seduce them. The book does indirectly teach you to sacrifice self respect in many cases. It teaches that you should tolerate being stood up twice and there's other advice that indicates many things that women do, men just have to tolerate and men should "remember their goal of seduction". Any woman who treats me with that much disrespect is getting the boot. Sex isnt THAT important. One complaint with the book is the lack of dignified opening lines. My other complaint is that following their plan requires so much effort its unrealistic for most men with busy lives. And they recommend a busy fulfilling life as being attractive to women, which is at odds with the plan. I do think the authors should provide a way to narrow your search a little to find compatible parterns. My analogy is this, if meeting women were a war, their strategy is to use B-52s to cluster bomb everything in sight rather than using laser guided missles to find the precise target. But then maybe that's the only way to find it. As a side note, I feel that we men shouldn't have to make THAT much effort and play these absurd games just to fall in love. If we do, theres something wrong with the women we are pursuing. Some guys I know are importing sweet Russian women and sidestepping all this... the rest of us American men tolerate from our flaky women. The problem with all this isn't the book. I don't blame the authors for the lousy system of dating and I think their approach is effective in helping guide you through the jungle and in getting you sex - if you can tolerate it. It does get me sex when I follow it. As far effective in finding a suitable match...I dont know but I doubt it.
Rating:  Summary: Dating strategies are a little suspect Review: This book is great. It will certainly conquer your fear of approaching women, and show you exactly how to get a phone number, but what follows is kind of impractical. Any guy living in a city should take note. Coffee dates are silly, and wildly inconvenient. Basically, your main goal is sex...supplement the coffee for a drink after work. Make your aim on the first date sex. It must end in your apartment. If she isn't willing, close the deal with a kiss, and reschedule two or three days later. Then aim for sex. It tells you the basics of hygene, apartment cleanliness, grooming, and how to treat girls. From my experience, half the material doesn't work well. Coffee dates are too sober, not spending money will not get you laid, flooding her with compliments make you look weak, giving her gifts is a little over the top, although once in a blue moon they can work wonders. The book is a very interesting read, and will open your eyes. The stuff about having a sexual network is a very good idea....trust me guys, you can't have enough back-up....and the idea behind treating women as sexual objects will really bolster your confidence, and make you realize that women actually love sex more than us. It will teach you not to pander to women. Everything is on our terms. Buy the book, and listen to my advise. Girls will screw you over with a blink of an eye....the pretty innocent ones are the worst at this. Don't take any nonsense....spend the...bucks and get to work.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Book Review: This book is excellent. It incorporates Ross Jefferies NLP stuff along with good advice in over coming fear in approaching women. This book enhances flirting skills, conversation skills, and seduction skills. It is good practical advice. A must read for any want to be ladies man.
Rating:  Summary: Interesting Nuggets...IF you can find them... Review: Too many words, so it isn't easy to find that which is actually insightful. I spent three days on a vacation reading this book, and I still didn't get laid. And I seriously doubt any other book will do that for you either. C'Mon guys...let's get real about relationships.
Rating:  Summary: Very Good Resource Review: This book is a very good resource for us guys who want to do better with women. Just keep in mind that it takes practice and time. If some suggestions like the "hand puppet" do not appeal to you then just stick to what you like. The idea is to get a woman's attention and get her laughing. You can use many techniques to do that. Another excellent book on the subject of overcoming fear and learning what works with women is the Evolution of a Warrior by Regan. You may want to check that out to. Happy Hunting!
Rating:  Summary: Good but not great! Review: Ok, I don't like books that instead of simplfying the subject tend to confuse you, as if you weren't confused to begin with! Thats why I will try to write a review that has nothing to do with showing you how smart I am or my childhood or my low sallary ! If you have to look in a book to teach you how to get women to date you or more, you need a book that will deal with this goal and this goal only, since there is more than enough to write regarding this only point, and if you can't get a date you won't have to worry about "After the date" and "Safe sex", so the last 6 chapters belong in other books called: "How to have safe sex", "How to dump", "You might wish you didn't have a date", and "how to find a wife"! Wait, we still have another 9 chapters to review. If you like complicated theories about how others don't suffer from the same problem, you will find plenty in here. Another important subject you will be reminded about is to be clean and clean up your apartment, dont forget your car either! This is a great book to read if you dont even know what to ask yourself, but don't look for good answers here. If you are good at looking for posetive in everything, there are many good ideas you might be able to conclude from reading this book. Here are a few: Don't be afraid of rejection its better than nothing; Dont put all your eggs in one basket, think "plenty fish"; You are in training and "beggers not choosers" so get whatever you can for now; Don't beg it doesn't usualy work; Bars are not the only place, try coffee shops; There are more good ideas, so go ahead and read this book but find a few other books that are more real and to the point, I would look for a title like: "How I finally spent a night with a pretty girl after 2 years; A true story by Shy R. Loanlier!" Good luck.
Rating:  Summary: Worked for me! Review: I'm going to write another review once I've practiced these methods more. But as for now...I spent all week reading this book and have it half finished. I went out last night to "put in work" and try the teaching out. Snubbed by one girl after another....but I stuck with the plan, vowing to do as they told me...,seven snubs, eight snubs...then.......bada bing! Paydirt! Cute little blonde and I hit it off. I stuck to her like glue and brought her home and made love to her all night. I havent done that in TEN YEARS! Guys, dont write this book off unless you DO WHAT THEY TELL YOU first! Its not easy but desperation is a great motivator. Ya just have to suck it in, muster up your courage and release yourself into the belly of the beast. Who cares about my 8 snubs, just like they said...its a numbers game and sooner or later you will hit the jackpot. I cant thank these guys enough. I'm not sure everyones initial success will come as easy as mine, or even that mine will last. But I set aside one night, did exactly what they said, and scored! Those who say it doesnt work, havent done as they were told to do in the book.
