So apparently to be a real man... I'm supposed to have a wardrobe that costs my yearly income, not have facial hair, run off to the nail salon every few weeks etc... was recommended this book by someone and it was a complete waste of my time and money. Great if you are some six-figure earning metro-male, but for the every-man... worthless

Very interesting book. The day I finished reading this book I was flying back from Florida. In the Denver airport a meet a man, engaged in a conversation and he asked for my number. I think there is some truth to what the author says. The author’s story is what the movie Hitch was based on.

I picked this book up, not because I am looking for someone to date (I am happily married), but for two reasons: as advice for people that I know who are single, and also as ideas to get to know others better. In both of these cases, I found the book to be useful.

The book addresses psychological items that need to be addressed for each person, cleanliness, grooming, and fashion, and a discussion of location and technique. The book was written several years ago, but is still very useful in the application of ideas and methods to get to know other people, and to be genuine.

Actually really liked this!!
Apart from the "physical makeover" section and some of the other bits and pieces, this is a very practical and realistic book. There's no silver bullet. The best way to find someone is to start looking, keeping yourself open and approachable but also making sure you approach whenever you're interested. A lot of his recommendations seem "easier said than done", but he has a clever way of rationalizing you out of Fake Fear and nerves. Looking forward to putting some of this into action.

I picked this up hoping that it would somehow contain a magic key to all things dating. The title (not to be confused with the awkward subtitle that I wish I could take off the front of the book) is good. Nothing wrong with talking to strangers, right?! What I did learn was more or less that I should avoid being stinky and should pay attention to the people around me. Didn't I already know both of those things? [harumph:]

Great read, almost done. Lots of good tips for meeting people including what to do in the first three minutes, Stopping Monkey Chatter and other things to help you meet someone special and unique places to meet them.

This is not a book about relationships. This book is about taking the first step in the process of building relationships (making contact with people).

I really like this book and couldn't stop reading it. It's was enjoyable, fun and realistic.

very good insights for approaching women and practical material to work with. I find this book filled with ingenious ways to learn how to establish an effective conversation with the opposite sex and getting to know someone to see if that person could be a potential life partner. Great book!

"Vastly obvious and really only for those that haven't mastered things like personal hygiene or simple social skills."

I have not finished this book. The Melkezidic priesthood is a big filter and this book is of the world, but it has some good advice in it. I'll keep it for a help in anything comes up.

It was a great book for anyone to read who wants to get out there and become more social. I got a few good tips on doing so. Well written. I enjoyed it.
