there's a bit of comical history between a friend and I with this book...the result was going on a wild rampage around the city hitting on women and infuriating more than we ended up seducing...but this book is a definite good source of common sense in a anti romantic era we're living in.

I am not the type who spends much time reading relationship advice / self-help / pop psychology type books, but this was excellent. It came recommended to me by a good friend, a professional psychologist, who felt it contained a lot of very useful advice. If you are like most American men, you probably did not learn very much about how to deal with women and relationships while you were growing up. Our parents did not teach us much about what to do (only what not to) and women are only very rarely going to explain to you how they want to be treated. You probably ended up relying on your buddies for counsel and support and, well, do I really have to point out the shortcomings in that approach?

This turned out to be an excellent book for explaining the dating game to men who are not very knowledgeable about the subject, or lacking in self-confidence, or unsure about how to proceed. I must say it taught me a lot about the right ways to approach women, to be attractive to them, and to deal with problems that arise. In a nutshell, it says that a man needs to be confident, generative, and flirtatious. He needs to not be thrown off his game when women reject him or ignore him or behave badly towards him. He needs to stay positive and keep putting himself out there. His person must be clean and appealing, as must his car and his home. He does not have to primp himself constantly or shop at high end boutiques, but he has to pay some attention to what women find attractive. Great wealth and physical perfection are not required, but paying attention to women and what they want are.

What to do with dating problems and problem women? The authors categorize them for you (e.g. the paranoid police-caller, the argumentive fighter, etc.) and offer advice on how to handle them. This is also very beneficial since a lot of men handle these things in a dumb, angry, flat-footed way, and your buddies will not be much help - probably they will just gripe and swear along with you and pour you another beer.

After applying some of the lessons and principles here, I was able to improve my dating life a fair amount! Of course, I did run into some limitations in Louis & Copeland's program after a while. This book can teach a guy a lot about how to get the ball rolling and how to get some good dates going with attractive ladies. What it cannot do is teach you how to manage a lasting relationship, or deal with the personality differences you will inevitably encounter in a serious romance. There is a short section on how to keep a good thing going (keep doing the little things, they say, keep showing her you love her), but it is not enough to cover all the relationship problems that exist out there. There are shelves of books and numerous radio programs and the like that deal with all of those things.

It is a little manipulative, but this book is an excellent and possibly very helpful read for single men who want to improve their love lives. So thanks Ron Louis and David Copeland! I wish I had read this when I was younger rather than wasting my time on fun and supportive but fruitless bull sessions with my pals.

Hands-down, the *best* book on dating I have ever read. The problem with all the other dating books like 'The Game' or 'Double Your Dating' by David DeAngelo is that you have to have a certain personality to execute their suggestions. This book is all about just getting out there and not being discouraged. I learned some great things and the book is divided into a variety of sections from: first impressions, priming, seduction, one-night stands, relationships, to breakups, then casual to committed. So it really gives a guy a complete look at the entire dating process. If there is any book that every guy needs to read, its this one. Go get it.

While I always use to be nervous around woman this book has given me the confidence to embark on sexual conquests. I had my first threesome six days after reading this.

I feel that I need to explain. Found myself in the relationships isle of the library. Ended up borrowing almost the entire section. I was intrigued. When I came across this book it occurred to me that i should pick it up. Not because I am interested in succeeding with women sexually but because I wanted to compare the advice they gear towards men with the advice they gear towards women.

Totally worth the effort. This book does not disappoint in terms of broad generalizations about the female sex. But it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and there were some great nuggets of advice in here.

I found it interesting that most of the books I've read that are geared towards women are about securing a man, moving towards marriage. This was about getting a woman to talk to you. Being successful at getting her into bed. You're on your own after that.

But it wasn't one of those books with a "plan" and it actually calls out those ridiculous plans we have come to know and love (like the program that teaches men that insulting women will get the hot ones to sleep with you. Umm. Only the insecure hot ones... and insecurity makes your exponentially less hot. I must say that I am pretty hot and if you come up and covertly insult me, I will get annoyed and walk away... bit I digress).

So this book was more of a no-bullshit mating guide. But it still approach 'women' as one homogeneous group of mystery beings ... which ... is hilarious. The author *clearly* got it backwards. Women are normal, everyday people. It's the men that are mysterious beings.

If you as a man need just one book to be able to understand the million year history of biological evolution and sexual selection and all the tactics employed by women to choose a mating partner (which means fall in love with you), this is it. A deep insight into the psyche of women. The authors clearly have extensive experience in utilizing the play field to their advantage. This is not a scientific book on evolution though.

If you want to be the alpha male, the one that all women crave, this book will help you understand what kind of changes you need to make. It will let women run after you rather than you running after them in vain and ending up writing ghazals like those written by the Urdu poets from not-so-distant past for the unrequited love that their beloved never reciprocated (and hence did not mate).

Take charge of the ocean of happiness (which involves women!) rather than letting women trickle down happiness into your life like water drops in a dying man's throat.

I read this book for a laugh, mostly. And I did laugh. And cringe.

There's some good stuff in here, for sure. Nobody's going to argue that it's bad to look presentable and smell nice, or to roll with rejection rather than take it personally, or say hi to lots of people. The chapter on style and confidence was pretty solid.

But there was so much bullshit. Ignoring the manipulation in the book (despite how often the authors said it wasn't about manipulating women, it was pretty blatant), the sexism and the authors' clear ignorance of feminism, the fact that every woman in the examples was described in terms of her youth and legs and breasts, the overuse of the word "seduce" to the point where it's become almost as creepy as "moist"--ignoring all that, a lot of the advice wasn't good. If somebody asked me to "describe my favorite princess story," I would think that's weird, not romantic. Nearly all of their canned romantic questions or lines elicited the same feeling: this is artificial, not authentic, and it's not even good.

Sure, some women might respond positively to some of those lines; we're not all the same. In the end, I guess, if it doesn't bother you that the book treats women as irrational objects that are a means to an end (the end being sex) most of the time, there's some okay advice in here.
