Summary: COMPLETE [junk]!!!
Review: A business plan of love that needs another once over. This offering is more direct and insightful than their previous book, but it exhibits a point of view that may be too narrow when it comes to attracting men who don't fit into certain cookie cutter criteria. My advice is to make the romance fit the man, because not all men are fit for romance. Also, there are men who will rebel and purposely fail any "test" that a woman gives them, just for the sake of proving to her that he resents being manipulated. How many women will really want to keep a man that they feel they have outsmarted?

Summary: I recomend this to my customers
Review: Although a lot of this is common sense, this is still a good read if you want more, different, information on how men think...and how to succeed with them. From first dating a man, to all the way to knowing if he is worth commiting yourself to, you will find it here. This is one of the few books out there that is written by men for women that is ACTUALLY constructive. It's loaded with advice, tips and ideas that will fit any problems you may have with men. I recommend this to my customers.Perry Rose, author of I Love You...Will You Marry Me?!

Summary: Limp-minded Advice from Fraternity Mentality Males
Review: Do not waste your energy reading this outdated trash. It is derogatory towards women, written with no heart, and not helpful. After skimming through the chapters I had to return it. I did not want a book with such a bad vibe sitting in my apartment. Honestly, THE RULES, are more positive and helpful for women creating self-confidence and self-worth - the real solution to bringing someone into your live.

Summary: This book is great!
Review: I don't understand the negative reviews of this book--did we read the same book? Sure, it's written by men, to help women understand men, and sure, the authors are pretty honest about "harsh realities," but I actually found that pretty useful and even refreshing. Maybe that's what scared some women off. If you are looking for a book that doesn't try to sugarcoat relationships with men, and which is a lot more useful than any Venus-Mars type book, then I think you should get this book. It's extremely specific and covers an incredible amount of stuff, from deciding what you want, flirting, all the way to some amazing stuff about how to talk to men about getting a commitment--stuff I never would have figured out on my own. Since I started using the stuff in this book, I have had MUCH more success with men--they like being around me more, and I've been able to get more guys in front of me and both test and reward them to sort them out and to keep things moving forward. I haven't found "the one" yet, but I really feel like this book has helped me have a chance at doing that. I suggest you buy this book.

Summary: Very practical and useful information
Review: I recently attended a seminar put on my Louis and Copeland in New York at the Learning Annex. A friend and I attended their presentation somewhat as a lark. I thought the idea of two MEN teaching WOMEN about dating was a bit ridiculous. I can say that after now going to their seminar and reading their book (I bought it because the seminar was so good) that I really feel that they have the most interesting and useful take on the dating game than any other author I've read. I really like how they systematically provide the reader (me) with tools on how to come up with, as they call it, "a business plan of love." They really are great at helping people find areas in their lives to find men and find dates, and also how to test men and avoid the jerks. Not only that, but I think they are very charming, caring, sweet, and funny. I recommend this book to women wanting to understand dating from a man's perspective, but also those seeking real concrete information, not boring and trite theory nor overly simplistic solutions to this problem.

Summary: Worth a read
Review: I too was skeptical when I picked up this book, but I have found that it has given me a great deal of insight. I am frankly surprised at the vitriolic response of some women in these reviews. As one reviewer comments, "did we read the same book?" In no way do these authors suggest that women suppress themselves for what the men want. It's quite the opposite really. And what's wrong with some balance anyway? This isn't all about what women want anymore than all about what men want.
The perspective of this book is very positive - tell me, how can you argue with taking the time to know what you want (I mean actually sitting down and getting it on paper - have you done that?), and looking for it in the men you meet? The idea of "testing" is not new and I don't believe for a minute that all of us don't do it ALL THE TIME. If not, I would argue you are not paying attention to what you should be when you are getting to know someone.
A good example of my new insight was only last week when I was on my way to meet a very nice man for our first date. I was a little nervous, and then I told myself that my job tonight was to see if I genuinely liked him and if he was a good fit for me. Whether or not he liked me too was actually his concern. And sure enough, I was relaxed, enjoyed my evening and was just myself. Wouldn't you know the minute he got home he sent me an email telling me what a great evening he had and that he looked forward to seeing me again.
If this book can lend a woman insight into what she truly wants and the confidence to look for it, appreciating men along the way, then it has done its job well. :-)

Summary: I'm actually understanding men better because of this book!
Review: I'll admit that when I got this book I was a little skeptical. I'm currently in a relationship, and even though a lot of this book focused on finding a guy (this part was good by the way), I really got a lot out of the other parts. I've read a couple of books on the subject including "The Rules" and "What Men Want" and never really felt like I got much practical advice. This book isn't about mind games like "The Rules" and it has much more meat to it than "What Men Want". I really am starting to feel like I understand men and what motivates them to be in committed relationships! I've changed just a few things and have already noticed a difference in my relationship. The authors did a good job helping me to get inside a guys head and really understand what usually scares men away and what motivates men to stay. I never realized how important it was for a guy to be my "hero" and for him to feel like he was winning my heart. I really get it now and am seeing what a positive impact it can have on my relationship! I never understood why I couldn't get the kind of commitment I wanted from a man. The authors give some great advice in the commitment chapters! That part was my favorite! They help to get the "commitment conversation" off the ground without blowing it! I'd recommend this book to women looking for relationships, as well as to women in relationships that would like to step things up a notch or just improve they way they communicate with their guy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Summary: Get the Scoop on Men
Review: I'm a man who read "How to Succeed with Women" after so many dating failures. It seemed like all of my friends were finding successful relationships and getting married where I was struggling just to have a date once and a while. I devoured David and Ron's "Women" text with zeal for its specificity of detail. I couldn't help but read their "Men" novel to see how they advised women about us. Their candor to women surprised and impressed me. This is not a book for working on yourself via introspection (although there are some great ones out there) nor does it preach female subordination to men. It's about how to play the female side of the dating game successfully by learning what's going on for men on their side. Look elsewhere if you want broader metaphors for the two sexes a la "Mars" and "Venus" explanations. Likewise, if you don't need any great detail, then read "The Rules" instead (read "The Rules" regardless). However, if you're beating yourself up for always attracting the wrong kind of mate or perhaps frequently seeming to scare off the right kind, etc., then see if the first couple of chapters don't jump out at you. The authors know that the market for relationship books already overflows with oblique, generalized instruction to women about men. Appreciate their device in writing as one man speaks to another in order to offer you a more direct understanding of mens' thought processes. As the saying goes: "Take what works for you and leave the rest." -reformed Sensitive New Age Guy
