Booklet

Imagine if your grandma gave you dating advice with the aim of getting you to "marry up". Now imagine that your grandma was a manners instructor in the 1950's, has read every single dating and sex tips article in Cosmo AND Men's Health, and studies the psychology behind attraction. Throw all that info in a blender, and you've got this book. The author uses terms like "quarry" (a romantic interest), "hunters", and "huntresses" for men and women seeking romantic partners. Some of the commentary seems outdated.

I read this book because I saw a review stating the science was good and the tips are useful for other situations, not just dating. That held true, in some cases. There are a few principles I learned that are insightful into human behavior. However, this book also included the author's personal perceptions and experiences, generalizations, and a touch of manipulative attitude. A more appropriate title would have been, "How to Manipulate People Into Thinking They're In Love with You." For example, one of the tips the author gives is to act enthusiastically interested in your quarry's interests to make an initial connection. The author also generalizes that women and men each prefer certain types of adult film/content. Any reader will likely pick up a few generalizations made about their gender that do not apply.

If you're naturally proficient in socializing and relate well to others, you probably won't find this book very useful because most of the tips feel like basic principles of social conduct. If you struggle to relate to others or find yourself awkward in social situations, some of the tips and insight may be helpful to you as long as you can weed out the manipulative tactics and ignore those.

One of the best flirting/relationship books I have read. It tells you what to do and then it will tell you the science behind it.

For love to grow, there should be sacrifice (and it's a lot as long as this book and I am concerned). In this work, you see through all the haze that kept clouding your understanding about the opposite sex. Indeed, no matter how we try to insist upon the notion that men and women are the same, they are not. Men will always have different inclinations compared to women, and very few are exempted. When starting a relationship, Ms. Lowndes advises that though we tend to seek for similarities, we should strive for complementary characteristics. She has plenty more facts about sexuality and all that, so be sure to read this book, whether you are in a relationship or just starting to look for one.

Practical ideas, great book

Okay Book but is better for women than man because it focuses more on women’s thought about dating

Very insightful

Overall I can see there was a ton of research & also personal experiences in this book. It was a great read and very informative with unique perspectives. I will say the last stone unturned was a bit downplayed and personally feel it’s far more powerful than this book depicts it. But nonetheless worth the read.

Helpful hints and habits to attract others

Easy conversational read to help put a spell on the opposite sex. Helpful guidelines to not only initially attract, but to keep your partner attracted.

seemed pretty solid until the part where the author started writing about gender difference and then i had to fight the urge to throw the book across the room. yeah, let's support gender stereotypes with anecdotal evidence, flawed studies, and cliches.

takové to čtení, když jste po otřesu mozku a nechcete moc myslet a nic jiného doma není po ruce. hodně zaseklé v 90tkách, i když některé principy mohou platit i dnes

nothing fancy, handles some of the basics.

Omg, I love this book. Nevermind I've been in a boring monog relationship with an adorably foxy nerdy economist for a good chunk of time, I love this book. I use all the tricks and tips and get lots of free stuff, and while I'm cute, I'm not like cute enough to never pay for cupcakes/coffee at Barnes & Noble. this book bottom lines it for you so well, you feel kind of stupid for reading it. Still, Most of it is about eye contact that makes the person you're eyeing feel like a gazelle about to be picked off by a lion, and since I have stunning eyes, it's my kind of book. I have crazy laser beam eyes and I swear my goal is to never have to pay for another cuppa cawfee the rest of my life. So far, so good.
