ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

Why aren't her other books this Awsome?!
~ Written on Jul 8, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

There is a pathetically small selection of books for those who just want a regular dating life and aren't focused on either extreme of picking up random people for shallow sex, or getting married and wanting all kinds of romance.
This is one of those hard to find books. I know some of the "techniques" as from all kinds of self-help and psychology, and NLP. But put in relevant context. Many "techniques" are not so much techniques as focuses or lessons, or experiments. Such as in Gestalt psychology where you experiment with actions or cognitions that are ego-alien and potentially expansive.
She doesn't focus on any one thing as the special technique that will make it all happen. And it is all not as manipulative as the title sounds. It is more playing into how people naturally work.
Unlike all those pick-up books where they think people are too dumb to know when they are being manipulated. I had a friend once who could talk to anyone and get any woman he wanted. He never used a pick-up line other than "hi" and did not play specific games. What he had was a positivity and tact with others and the ability to play along with however the other person was acting and bring them up.
So a book like this should not be intended to fill your head with fake actions that you pull out of your pocket at the right time, but a map of how to begin to learn what works for the person in their given situation.
More specifically about the book, it has tremendously less fluff language than her other books that seem to be just as collection of boring anecdotes about her experiences and some description of a "technique" that's hard to follow, all in cheesy language. This book is much much more structured and the anecdotes are shorter and seem much more relevant.
I also want to add some of my skepticism toward self-help, in that the information in this book is very difficult to learn and implement in the spontaneity of interaction, without some sort of mentor.

Loved the Science - Hated the Author
~ Written on Jul 4, 2009. 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.

Make no mistake this book is a good find for those who are trying to imoprove their skills in the game of love. The book is full of real science. Lot's of studies and experiments of the biology of love. Lots of psycological and behavioral studies and reasearch. These are a real big eye opener and will be invaluable help in luring that special someone. Even my casual flirting skills have been really fine tuned by this book. These techniques and observations really really work.

However, the author mixes a lot of her own biases and assumptions with the science and in many cases may be very invalid for your particular situation. She clearly has a lot of hostilities and prejudices against the male gender and these cloud a lot of her advice in using the science.
Also, she makes a lot of assumptions of thought based on the world in which she comes from. If you are a well educated academic many of her judgements probably would be very accurate. However, she assumes everybody in both sexes thinks this way. Go into a more working class world or an artistic bohemian world, the biker society and even the fast lane high powered hollywood community and a lot of these assumptions just would not be accurate.

Also, the title is misleading too. It implied stratagies for when you had a love interest already picked out and turned out to be just another How to pick up girls kind of book.

Neverhtheless, lots of good solid scientific tips here you don't want to miss.

The best pick-up info out there..period
~ Written on Jun 23, 2009. 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.

This book is everything any guy needs when it comes to picking up women. I am great with women as of now, but I didn't used to be.I read alot of really bad books such as *Secrets of the A Game and a few others. This book is the most realistic. The techniques that are for men work. Period.
It mentions eye contact, smiling, flirting and initiating conversation in a very smooth natural, seductive way. Not overbearing or obnoxious.Nothing confusing, no overthinking.

Overall, I won't give any spoilers, but this is simply the best. This may sound crazy, but some of the things I did successfully with women in the past were written as techniques in this book. And I knew nothing about pick up back then :) . This is a must buy for everyone, men as well as women.

A fascinating book
~ Written on Jan 30, 2009. 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.

I purchased this book not really sure what to expect from it. Making anyone fall in love with you is a pretty big chore for most of us. However, since reading it all the way through, I can say that the author knows her subject quite well. I have since used some of her techniques on a few ladies I know, and I can say without a doubt that they do work. While I do not believe any of them are now in love with me, they have certainly "warmed up" to me in a very noticeable way. ( I must admit that it was not my goal to have them actually fall in love with me, so I did not use all of the techniques/advice available in the book. My results may have been different if I had.) The psychology of how we interact with the opposite sex is described at length and never ceases to fascinate me.

If you have a special person in your life that you would like to attract, this book would be an excellent starting point. Good Luck!

A worthwhile read, well researched, well written.

This is one book that is thoroughly researched, professionally written and a pleasure to read. There is a combination of review of research added to practical experiences that are easy to follow and realistic in expectations. Definitely worth reading. I purchased it to add some more depth to my own relationship with my wife and we have both been reading it with impresive results. It would be even more worthwhile if you are looking to meet someone.
