 waste of paper May 09, 2008
Don't waste your money or time. There are far better books out there. Try "What Women Want" or one of Steele's books.

 Decent, but information overload dude! Apr 10, 2007
Okay, so I liked the book - but if it were about 50 pages shorter I might have liked it a lot better. This guy starts off with how to pick up chicks wherever you see them every day, and he goes too much into why this approach works, and how this other approach is weak or strong (he sounds like my old professors), and then he has this cool section on how to read their palms (I have seen guys do this stuff - that and that trick where they tell your future by your handwriting). Anyway, that was all okay, and of course he has to spend a hundred pages telling you how to put all of this together; what to do if she says this, what to do if her boyfriend shows up, how to get out of a conversation with a psycho chick (I say just leave - don't even say goodbye), and then he has some tests, and experiences from people I really don't care about. No offense but I just ant to know how I can get laid, you know?
This book has a TON of information but I felt like I was back in school. I did try what he said over the past week and a half and it seems to be working, I got a few chick's phone numbers, but I think he could have saved me a lot of time reading by just telling me straight out how to approach hotties at the store, gas station (and so on), get the number and leave it at that. Once I have a girl's number in my pocket I think I know what to do. I don't know. Does it work? Sure. And it is funny at times. But it is pretty heavy stuff. look, if you are looking for something really quick, check out Seduce Me. The Mystery Method is also killer, but it takes a while to build up your game using his techniques. Mystery is out to turn guys into PUAs. A book like this or Seduce me is just about having some fun meeting hicks and getting dates when you want one.

A refreshing change from the standard Apr 08, 2007
My son plopped down this book in front of me and said "Does this stuff really work?" This is not the type of book I would normally curl up with on a Sunday evening after stoking the fire in the hearth to a comfortable level. But as I do love my 20 year old son (almost as much as I love to read), I figured that it was worth investigating.
The text is set in a conversational tone that is almost chummy at times. The author it seems seeks to teach without the pretense of authority and command. It is a fun read, and it is indeed instructional, but I came away with a feeling of "advice from a friend." Please keep in mind that I am a happily married man of 24 years, and I have no intention of "scamming on hotties" but I suppose that if I was twentysomething and raging with hormones I would seek anything that would help me gain release - get a lot of dates. All in all I found this a fun little book with plenty of instructions and illustrations. There were even a few quizzes in the back, and a complete set of printable (you get to do that part) flashcards in the back of the book.
I suppose I could go on about the state of our society that we need instruction manuals on how to speak to each other, but the bottom line is that yes, these techniques do work (I have used several of these - and many others not mentioned in this book - in the past). The premise of the book is pretty straightforward. Approach women casually and with confidence (the author covers how to do this in sufficient detail, but you will have to obviously practice this on your own), and shows ways to get a girl interested in what YOU have to say.
Then he illustrates how to read a girl's palm and get her fascinated with you. I liked that part. That was unique. It is a strange fact that women love mysticism (palm reading, astrology, esp) far more than men ever will. I can see this working as even my wife goes to get her palm read once every few months. I told her once I could save her (me really) the fifty bucks and do it myself. That didn't work so well. She didn't talk to me for a week.
Look, I have seen over the years books that show you how to get dates with women using handwriting analysis, hypnosis, "being a jerk" (love caveman style - when will men ever learn?), insulting women, astrology, card magic, pretending that you are a psychic, something called neurolinguistic brainwashing or something like that, and numerous other tricks and gadgets. Who knows what works? You walk up and say hello. Say something interesting. I think that is what I liked best about this book. It gives you a solid starting point, and makes you laugh along the way. The author structured the whole thing in a 30 day course format. Personally I read the book and enjoyed it - for what it was - and didn't bother practicing what I learned the first time reading through (my wife would kill me!)
So is it worth the twenty bucks? Well, I guess if you are young and single, and want a date (or "a lot of dates" as the author promises), then yes, but my advice is read this, and read everything you can. Try out all kinds of different techniques on different women. After all, if you want "a lot of dates," then you should keep practicing your skills. As for me I had fun, told my son to follow the instructions and report back to me how well they worked (not too much detail please), and I am going to read the latest Stephen King novel.

 An excellent guide for the average man Mar 17, 2007
This book is hilarious - and it works. It is a step-by-step guide to meeting girls on the street (coffeehouses, laundromats, grocery stores, gas stations... you get the idea). We didn't really see much on funerals: the author did mention picking up girls at funerals, so we were hoping for a bit more detail on that. But what you will learn here is how to approach ANY girl casually, no matter where you are, and with no stress on you: no matter "how hot you think she is." Then you will learn how to transition from "hello" into getting the girl interested enough in you to give you a few minutes of her time to work your magic, and then get her number. Not to worry, the author even has a few tricks to show you how to do that as well. This book is a MUST HAVE, but it is far from the only book you should read.
This book will not make you a superstar PUA, but if you have any game at all, what you will learn here will definitely improve your performance just about anywhere. You will even learn how to pick up girls in front of your girlfriend, and how to pick up 2-3 girls at once (in front of each other). We tried some of these techniques and they were as easy as the author claims. Of course we have had some practice over the years, but even so, this is stuff any guy can - and should - master.
The price was reasonable enough - about 1/2 the cost of a cheap first date, and the laughs were pretty good as well. If you do get a copy of this book, **be sure to read the entire thing**. It is a 30 day home study course on picking up girls you see everywhere, but it is also a course on becoming more popular in general. It won't teach you game, but it will teach you how to use what you've got - even if you only have a little.
