Rating:  Summary: words fail me Review: after reading this book, i found it more humorous than helpful. i mainly use it to generate jokes among my friends and new people i meet. other than that, i wouldn't really follow the advice given by the author. most of the advice is either common sense or too corny. for example, the top 10 fabulous flirting tips starts with:1. always make eye contact! (common sense) 2. remember his/her name (common sense) 3. start a conversation with a witty comment. for example, try this at a health club: "your legs must be tired.. they've been running through my mind all night!" be creative; try something new, not a tired line. (actually this is a tired line.. and its pretty corny.) 5. use body language.. blow a kiss! (yeah, right.. what guy blows a kiss on the first flirt!) 10. ask a clever question, such as "would you mind if i flirted with you?" (too direct!.. not enough game)
Rating:  Summary: Brilliantly Humorous and Practical ! Review: I was suffering from dating burnout when I picked up this book. Sure, there were some things in here that I already knew and somethings I didn't have a clue about, but it was so funny that it made me lighten up. I was getting too serious about finding a "relationship", way too serious. I found out that women love men who read relationship books. When I told a few of them that I was reading this book about being "Irresistible" they said that the mere fact that I'm the kind of guy who wants to improve in this area makes me more irresistible. I admit that at first I thought some of the flirting techniques were "hokey" until a friend of mine dared me to use them! Boy, Was I surprised!!! He lost his bet. This authors approach worked almost every time. So I decided to re-read and use the book, practice figuring out a woman's love strategy, used other flirting approached, and I called the authors number to get secret #10 (Apparently she wants to see if people are really using the book.) She'll mail you Secret #10 and a newsletter. My new girlfriend and I (Yes, I said new girlfriend!) She loved line #10 on page 70, even though she later found out it came from a rel. book. Anyway, we just completed the compatibility form on page 159, I was nervous about doing it and finding out that we were all wrong for each other, but was delighted to have her rate me so high! Guess there is potential in this relationship. Don't just read this book for the humor--share it, use it and do what it says!
Rating:  Summary: Good Read for certain people Review: I've been priviledged enough to have met the author, who I found out was also a soul healing. I had been hurt in the past and didn't realised I was holding onto the hurt and anger, refer to as a love barrier, until she got me to pretend what I would say to the women that hurt me if she was right in front of me. I let loose on my verbal abuse and was able to then let go and move on. The book itself will be useful for people having some trouble getting dates. I learnt how Not to look and dress like "A Nice Guy" which did wonders. The book isn't a complete tool kit for courtship, but is definately a worthy read in my opinion. Guys that are looking for more advanced techniques should read doubleyourdating by David DeAngelo, off his website.
Rating:  Summary: Good book to get back in the mix! Review: I've read through a number of relationship books, and each of them offer something unique or interesting to improve your life. However, this book really takes the cake in not offering anything of substance. Many of the chapters rehash advice that are obvious even to "novices," such as "look your best; wear good clothes" or "be confident." It would be another thing if she expounded on these common topics, but she doesn't. There are tons of self-promotions to other products from her company, which is fine in moderation but feels sleazy in mass quantities. Even more incredulous to me is that many of the chapters are just Top 10 lists, including a Worst 10 Pickup Lines! I was hoping for a serious relationship book and not a joke book. If you want a laugh, maybe you can enjoy this book. If you want serious advice, don't look here. I'm sure the author has the best intentions and is a great person, but I can't recommend this particular book in any way. However, I do highly recommend other books as alternatives such as "How to Make Anyone Fall in Love With You" by Leil Lowndes, "Dating for Dummies" by Joy Browne (don't be put off by the title), and "If I'm So Wonderful, Why Am I Still Single?" by Susan Page.
Rating:  Summary: Light Hearted Fun Review: Some of these one star reviewers are extremely clsoe minded. The purpose of this book is to open people up to how to be more successful in relating to the opposite sex. The lists are fun and make this book easy to read. The advice is pretty sound without dwelling on psycho babble. Susan's book signings and tours promoting her work are just as beneficial in person. She is indeed a warm caring person. Overall, this makes a nice reference to look back on over and over again!
Rating:  Summary: Want YOUR guy to read a relationship book, this is the ONE! Review: When you haven't been dating in while, you have to do something! This book gave me the courage to go back out there and give relationships another chance. Most of the books out there are negative towards men. I don't hesitate to show this book to women I am seeing. If they don't want to read it, that tells me something. I don't waste time with women who don't want to learn and grow. If they won't read an easy, humorous but insightful book like this, then they probably won't want to deal with other real life issues. Most women are thrilled to find a guy who takes the time to read a relationship book and share it with them. I'm a believer. I don't have a lot of time to read, and this book made it easy for me to read and re-read and get the results. Simply Effective! Whenever my friends complain about their lovelife, I give them a copy of this book. My buddy's house got robbed and they even took his copy of How to be Irresistible! Ladies, if you want a book that us guys will want to read and use...this is the one.
