"This is not a book, it is a breakthrough that will shift your thinking..." Learn the Secret that has the world buzzing! *Gold Medal Winner of the 2018 ELit Book Award for Best Self Help Book!* Most men don't want you, they want to f**k you, know the difference. Most men don't love you, they love what you do for them, know the difference. Men Don't Love Women Like You! is a Step-By-Step manual on how to stop manipulation, command attention, and be seen as a must have by any man! **************** You are the type of woman that men grow bored with and replace. Your beauty, your brains, your perceived uniqueness is hype. In your bias world, a man would be lucky to have a woman like you because you aren't like every other female. The brutal truth that we men refuse to tell you, is that you are painfully typical. You flirt like every other woman. You hold the same conversations as every other woman. You read the same typical relationship advice and try the same tricks as every other woman. All because you are obsessed with being loved like every other woman. Men play along but they don't play for long. You are the woman we date and then dump. Sleep with then forget. Get into a relationship with, then eventually grow bored of. You will never work out because you don't stand out! The men you want the most, want you the least because you are just as ordinary as the women you claim to be better than. No man is hard to figure out. No man is emotionally unavailable. No man is unready to settle down. When a man tells you he's not looking for anything serious, he means "with you!" There are two types of women The Placeholder & The Game Changer. You are The Placeholder, that girl who fills a man's needs until The Game Changer arrives. A man will date you, sleep with you, even enter into a relationship, but you are not what he really wants. You are a practice woman, preparing him for his future wife. Aren't you tired of being just another seat filler? Will you become yet another mediocre woman that ends up settling for average because great men don't see her as anything special? Or are you ready to Spartan Up and learn how to become his Game Changer... Men Don t Love Women Like You, is a brutally honest manual that will transform you from typical to priceless. The secrets in this book will guide you step by step as you learn what men think, how to counter their Bullsh*t, and the exact ways to turn the table in your favor. No matter who the man is, how young, old, rich, or popular he may be, this book will show you how to attain power over him. From the first meeting to the first date. From a new relationship hitting its first bump to an old relationship on its last legs. You will learn to dominate men in ways you never dreamed of. You will become what you were always meant to be A Goddess in the flesh. Typical bitches get Typical results! Empowered women get powerful results!

Updated May 24, 2020 in coronavirusland where there is no hope of travelling and dating and driving on I95 in fast cars with loud music and eating pizza on the go. BUT the guy** from Dec/Mar 2019 whom I let go because he is a sociopath and whom I've remained in loose contact with, got in touch with me last night in a very friendly way.

I liked his conversation, his utter coolness, the very outre clubs he took me to and the sex... My doctor used to say I had to stop going for the sex and go for the money. Money lasts. When I told him last time I saw him I had been dating a billionaire racing car driver, his eyes lit up. He asked me what happened. I said he dumped me. He sucked his teeth. We all have our weaknesses. :-(
___________________

So I was in Fort Lauderdale for a few weeks and got a higher class of rejection than in Miami. I've been going out with guys with Ferraris, Teslas, Mercedes (C36 AMG and C300s). One of the guys even ordered a Ferrari Tributo which isn't even out yet. I've been out with two guys with private jets. All of these men took me to lovely restaurants where the waiters brought swords with meat to the table to slice, or French champagne with fresh-squeezed orange juice that tasted the same as Prosecco and oj. Quite a lot of these men took me out a couple of times. But I didn't score a single third date.

So yeah, Men don't Love Women Like Me! The author has pointed out extremely accurately I may say exactly how I act and react to these men and what these men think of me because of my ill-thought out and (it pains me to admit it) needy behaviour. He told me exactly what the men really want (yes, you guessed and no they didn't get it) in a 'placeholder' whilst waiting for 'the one' who is not a typical, game-playing female that they can game better. So although I intensely dislike self-help books this one is so accurate, it made me actually go out with my son tonight and change my ways, and fuck me, it worked, I got attention, I like this book!

What was I doing in Fort Lauderdale? **Well, I've been with a guy (C300) since December. He comes up to the islands and I go down to Miami. Nothing progressed beyond the fun of the 'honeymoon' period so I let it go and decided not to be tempted to going back with him by going to a different city. The author told me exactly what I did that made the guy treat me with casual cruelty and occasional flattery, sure of my reaction and all because I am not a strong Spartan Queen but a weak-minded woman who wants to have a boyfriend more or less at any cost and to be in lurrrve. So now I'm a Spartan Princess, and will be crowned Queen soon.
___________

The guy who flew to the island to meet me and stayed for Easter

This book is deteriorating. Advising no sex for six weeks but lots of teasing so the man knows he can't get what he most desires until she is his official girlfriend. In other words, it is dangling pussy like bait and when she is sure that he really likes her for who she is on her terms, then he can have it. All the while knowing that if she didn't act really sexual without having sex, he'd be gone.

Maybe the author is right and no matter what virtues, appealing character and sense of humour and looks a woman has,, her only bargaining power is her pussy. The author and I have now parted company. I would like to hear from some guys who are not PC but honest.

"You are not your VAGINA!"








If you wanted a sweet advice book on dating. . .then skip the hell out of this one. He says what he has to say and I fucking liked it! So there!



Sometimes we just need to hear it raw and uncut!








"Making a man earn you is common sense, but when driven by a fear that the latest Mr. Right will pass you up, you overcompensate. give him everything for free and watch how you get nothing in  return but your time wasted."





"Ask not what you can do for a man, but what a man can do for you. That should be a motto to live by for progressive women, but how many of you actually practice that?"



"When someone asks you what you bring to the table, I want every enlightened woman to be able to lay down her crutches, look a man dead in the eye, and say with conviction, "I am the fucking table!"






 






"A GAME CHANGER doesn't stand out because she's doing what men want women to do, she stands out because she doesn't give a fuck about what a man wants her to do. . ."











And so I walked away with more than I thought it would be. I like G. L. better than Steve Harvey and others in this dating book guru game. 





G.L. is more like. . .girl, do you? The man that loves you will go after you, regardless. The man that doesn't will hang out and knock it up for a while, until he finds the girls that he wants to go after.





Hard truth, but I got it.

Can we have books that teach you should treat each other like people? This is a sociopathic way to view the world, and should be called for what it is.

A misogynistic manifesto that claims to be a tell-all and an insider into the male mind and dating world. The book has a few valid points, but those are the absolute 101 of dating and can be found in any literature on the subject, where you don't feel clubbed by having made mistakes growing-up. The author claims to teach women to have standards, not to chase men and not to dress/behave in ways whose sole reason is to impress men, but immediately contradicts himself by portraying his ideal female archetype as someone who texts and calls first (even in a situation when a man was supposed to call at a set time and did not!), stalks a man on social media, does not respect people's relationship status, and adopts a vulgar and oversexualized approach that she uses in public. If you want to turn into a classless, desperate pickme that lives for male approval, this book is for you! I found myself shocked when a character ate dinner with her new date and asked him about the last time he "wanted to hit a woman" (don't mind my proper language, the author used profanities here as well) like it's the most normal thing in the world! Then she accepted that her date indeed was close to hitting a woman once and continued dating him, something that would be the ultimate dealbreaker for anyone with half a brain. Not far into the book, it becomes obvious, that the author had to fulfill some kind of a word limit because you'll find yourself in the middle of unrelatable date scenarios that are too overly specific to play out in the same or even similar way for anyone who reads the book, lengthy paragraphs that say nothing at all, and more contradictory statements (a chapter on not inviting him over and then immediately inviting him over? vows to not come off as desperate but announcing to a man that she'll be bringing her overnight stuff when no sleepover was discussed? etc.). The language of the author is so foul and dirty, that I wanted to take a shower after each page, and completely goes against the idea that women should respect themselves, so the author claims. No woman who respects herself will refer to herself as a "weak b*tch" and other names, no matter how wrong her decisions were in her past. A change in mindset can be done without the verbal expression used in this book, so it becomes obvious that the author was trying to cash in on shock value rather than anything else.

Would give minus stars if I could.

This book is a total waste of time for any smart, serious person. The guy who wrote it sounds like a mysoginistic ar**hole trying to psychologically bully women. The books only works if you're a woman whose type is douchbags.

What an interesting book. I found it hard to begin reading because it was the ultimate definition of “tough love”, but after I stuck with it I started learning some lessons.
Unfortunately history was not the kindest to women, and we were seen quite often as being dispensable. Nowadays, with social media and other forms of comparison and manipulation we are 'desperate' to find, and 'keep' love, and apparently men are aware of this. Or expect it even.
Even if we think we are special, so do others, but that does not mean we respect ourselves. Quite often women are lonely, and that leads to fear, and fear leads to desperation. Lambert confronts this behaviour and tells us to Spartan up, and vet these men until we are certain that they are boyfriend (and husband) material.
He tells us to toughen up and cut them off if they don’t respect our boundaries and to let them go if they just try to use us for sex. He gives scenarios and suggestions for dates and ways to make sure that the men we date don’t presume we just want a boyfriend.
He teaches on how to take the lead and have the power.
Although I found myself a little paranoid about men throughout the book, I did find myself feeling more at ease about men and their approaches to dating. If you lose him, there’s always another better man waiting for you regardless. Us women should be worshipped and every man can be replaced!

I couldn't get past the second chapter. I made the mistake of getting the audiobook on the recommendation of a friend and it felt like I voluntarily signed up for verbal abuse. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. If you're having trouble dating save your self-help book money and get a therapist. A lot of them charge on a sliding scale.

I am in love with this book. Its an eye opener. I see relationships in a whole different way. This book came to me at the right time in my life. I am on a self discovery journey and everything that has happened in my life has lead me to this book. I lack conversation/communication and eye contact. Enlightenment comes to us in so many different ways; I am glad it was through this book. Every time I reread this book, my energy shifts to a higher level. I go to work with more pep in my step. (yes, I have reread this book about 3 times) Its not a book to just read through; you need time to digest the information you receive from the book and you will go back to reread certain chapters to remind yourself of who you truly are.
To think that "Little Mermaid" use to be one of my favorite Disney Movies. After reading this book, I have been educated by a well respected man.
I can not thank G.L. Lambert enough for writing such a life changing book.

Thank You

" You deserve the affection that you kept trying to pour into others.
You deserve the same motivation that you tried to inspire in others.
You deserve the high of happy, without the low of sadness.
You deserve the joy of being spoiled, without the catch of having to repay.
You deserve the relaxation of trust, without the paranoia of betrayal.
You deserve to be confident, without the reminder to be humble.
You deserve to look at your reflection with eyes of awe, not judgment.
You deserve to be hold forever, not for a nigh.
You deserve to be first, second, and third.
You deserve to have everything you want.
You deserve this power. It is who you are and who you will always be.
Men don't love women like you. They worship them"

Unbelievably amazing advice--was a natural Spartan as a teenager but lost my way in the forest of What My Mom Thinks Nice Girls Should Do. This was my wake-up call!! Started a notebook to record my progress with a picture of Ares, God of War and patron god of Sparta slapped on the front--I AM THE GODDESS OF WAR!!!

Well, my feelings about this book are so polar I can hardly put them together to write this review. If you are not used to swearing, here you have a huge red flag - the book is swamped with the f-, v-, d- words. At the beginning it's shocking, then it gets annoying, then you start laughing at some eg ''This shit is as deep as nun's vagina' xDD
I would say I liked this book more than I disliked it. Some good messages I most agree with were the following:
1. Some girls are seen as placeholders, whereas the others are life changers. You may occupy the latter's place wasting your time with the wrong person without even knowing it.
2. Projecting yourself as low-standard is very common among girls. The choice of a reastaurant, places he takes you to, the way he speaks to you - all this is set by your behaviour. You show what your standards are from the very beginning, during the courting stage. You outline the way he will treat you in the long run.
3. You don't owe him anything. Just your company is enough.
4. It's better to sleep alone than to sleep with someone who degrades your worth, lowers your ambitions and downplays you. Never settle for anyone who is lower your personal standards.
5. Sex must be earned. Heart must be protected.
6. When dating (living in general imho) you should want to fuck yourself. People feel how you feel about yourself. Men like women comfortable in their skin.
7. Listen, ask, listen, ask follow-ups. Don't let it be your monologue. People love to hear themselves talk more than they like to listen to others talk.
8. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Clingy is never cute.
9. No one appreciates things that come easy.

And the main one which I fully, 10000000% agree with - Many men will love you, but none of their love will ever match the love you have for yourself. Brilliant.

Warning: this book is not for those who want to stay in their comfort zone. This book will not pander to your ego, the way a lot of contemporary dating experts do. What it will do is help you change your way of thinking to obtain better results from your life in general and go in for the kill instead of living in the shadow of fear and insecurity. It really takes you out of those self-sabotaging ways and helps you advance in your career and relationships. Following the instructions and reading it in order (several times) will help you examine yourself, and remove those traits that keep you vulnerable, helpless, and taken advantage of. The author is a straight shooter and holds back nothing. I would appreciate less profanity, however I suppose it does bring his points across.

I have to say this was probably one of the best relationship books I've read in a long time. Very common sense advance on how to truly get to know prospective love interest instead of jumping into a relationship out of fear and desperation. the language is a bit harsh but nowadays sometimes fire is required to eliminate bad habits.

This book was immensely entertaining, though not in the way the author intended. Granted, I'm not the audience for this book. It was written for women who are interested in marrying sex addicts. I lost count of how many times the author said that men have an irresistible urge to have sex with as many women as possible, so that's what they do. He illustrated this belief with examples from his own life and the lives of his clients. It was all so earnest and over-the-top, it made me laugh which is why I kept reading. What a character!

It's a good read and very engaging!

I came across this title through my Kindle suggestions page. At first, I was a little turned off by the first part of the title. However, I pushed through the initial negative reaction and downloaded the free sample. After reading the sample, I took a chance and bought the book and I'm glad that I did.

As a person who was raised in a conservative Caribbean family, I haven't dated and most of the thoughts I have about finding a mate comes from my parents. Through reading this book, most of what my parents have advised me to do (i.e. taking time to observe the potential beau's character and personality, abstaining from physical affection until you're sure that the potential beau is someone you'd want to be exclusive with) was validated. In contrast to my parents, the author definitely delivered these messages in a more contemporary and witty fashion with 90s/00s pop references.

I really liked that the author emphasized the agency of women (the target audience), empowered them to create standards for themselves and to not waver from them when looking for a partner.

I definitely recommend this book. Great advice along with good chuckles from the pop references!

I TRIED reading this book, but was so turned
off I couldn't even get past the 3rd chapter. 😔 I'll admit, there were some eye-opening a-ha moments for me when it comes to learning more about how men think, and I'm sure
there were probably more gold "nuggets" I could have gleaned if I simply struggled through to the end of the book. But I'm sorry...I just couldn't.

The book was VERY offensive, misogynistic, and actually downright abusive! I had a worse view of men with every approaching paragraph that I read through. 😒 I almost got the impression that the Male author who
wrote this book really doesn't like women AT ALL. Like, at ALL. I got STRONG misogynoir vibes from him, which is a huge turnoff for me.

Might I also add? The cursing was WAAAY too heavy in this book. If you're a man tailoring your book to WOMEN, you need to tone DOWN your foul language. I'm sorry. There's just no REASON why a paragraph of text should
have SEVERAL curse words riddled throughout like that. 😒 Honestly? I could barely get through most of the chapters in the book due to the cursing alone! Let alone the Male author telling you every chance he gets that
you're "not special", that you're "basic", and that most men can have another you in two seconds. 🙄 Just about every time I sat down to read this book I would leave feeling beaten down. I also got very resentful of men. I'm actually sorry I even downloaded this book tbh smh. 😔

Ladies, do yourself a favor and just pick up "The Queens Code", "Get the Guy", "HJNTIY", "Why Men Love B****es", or heck even "The Rules", and call it a day. This guy on the other hand is TOXIC. I wouldn't recommend at ALL. Not to my fellow lovely black sisters out there. 😤

This book was a call to action for women to take their power back and use it to their advantage with no fear and no games. It's so simple and we've made it hard by believing the lies society has told us about our role in relationships and as women. I had to explore internally the entire read and have definitely done a complete mindset shift regarding relationships and gender roles. Also, it was such an important read for me that I bought it for two friends! "Men don't love women like you. They worship them."

Brutally Honest but the message is clear.

I have came across many books. No other book has made me feel or think about my actions as a woman more than this book. If you don't have an open mind this isn't the book for you! This book is sugarcoat-free and will help many confused woman understand the position they play in the game of dating!

I was surprised seeing this author dates women. This guy wanted to air out a non-bs dating manual for women but the tone of this thing sounds more like it was written by a fierce diva who also jokes like a 12yo CoD player. I felt like I was reading advice from a porn addict guy who watches RuPaul on his free time; not from a serious dating coach for women. I get it, call us b***h for the Nth time while also coining ‘Spartan’ in every single phrase for the impact effect, that will do. Not to mention the new agenspiritual mumbo jambo in the beginning and throughout chapters. Sadly this book could be an incredible read, but the crass language and the whole ‘Spartan’ thing makes it painfully cringe and silly.

Overall, there are a few snippets of truth here and some valuable advice when it comes to navigating dudes and their psyché - so I don’t discredit it completely. If you can bear reading harsh honesty in the midst of puns about “nuns vag-nal depth”, this book might be cool for you. I’m still working on a useful summary of it without all those stupid parts.

Some books, like Men Don't Love Women Like You: The Brutal Truth About Dating, Relationships, and How to Go from Placeholder to Game Changer by G.L. Lambert, leave you with (bi)polar feelings. On one hand it is too sexist to the point of making feminists, misandrists, and misogynists to form an alliance to hunt down the author and kill him while on the other hand it is so brutally honest, raw, and uncut it reminds women that they will continue to be used by men (I wonder what it is with caring whether women are used or not).

The author tells women:

1. You are not your vagina, don't stoop too low for jerks; flip it horizontal and the author tells them that men don't value your vagina, bring something else on the table otherwise your vagina loses flavour just after the first time you have sex.

2. Your vagina is not dipped in gold that men will scramble for it; otherwise your vagina is not different from the other 30 vaginas the man you want has sampled, and he will continue to sample.

3. Dear woman, you are not special, in the end, you're just pussy to men; so, don't boast, men will still crave the next vagina once they have sampled yours, just move the hell on.

4. Blah, blah, blah, blah ... etc, etc, etc.

Then the author goes ahead to tell women to take control of their lives, their pussy: be a SPARTAN. Then goes ahead to spell out what to do. Make him earn you, not offer yourself to you. Why would I waste time earning a woman yet there are 100 others who are ready to offer themselves? The author says those others are typical bitches, don't be a typical bitch.

See why I say you will be bipolar if you read this book?

This is one of the best self-help books I’ve ever read and I’ve fucking read a lot of those.

I do not relate to the shit pumped out for my demographic. I do not want to be coddled and have things sugar-coated. I don’t want my self-help to be unclear. This is clear.

I learned so much about myself and there aren’t even any exercises to do such as writing a bunch of shitty feelings down or analyzing past relationships for the one millionth time to figure out patterns, blah fucking blah! Nah, this is a hard look at realizing I was taught the wrong things about myself and how to date and GL set my ass straight! I am a goddess!

Did someone teach you how to date? I’m sure someone along the way taught you how to succeed in a job interview regardless of which side of the table you are on, right?! But no one ever taught me how to date and ask a man questions to see his character right away, rather than six-eight months in after love is involved. So, I needed this! I’ll never again be hoodwinked by a man making me think he is my equal in divinity, when he is really just a boy trying to play a man!

If you’re tired of lying to yourself about your relationships not working you might want to give this a shot.

Lambert went on reddit, found a redpill forum and copied it. At the start Lambert states that he doesn’t have to look at actual data because enough women tell him analogies that fit his story. Credit where credit is due, at least he is honest in that part.

I was told that this book contained some fallacies beforehand but the number of fallacies that this author bases his work on is honestly impressive.
This book is a fantasy novel based on a 4chan straw man reality. Short, simple read and somewhat entertaining but don’t recommend.

Reclaim your Power!

Erase all the doubts and fears that come from past relationships and embrace your inner Goddess. This book serves as a reality check. Lays out all the mistakes that women make in an effort to get and keep a man. Shows you how to get everything you desire out of a relationship without sacrificing your dignity. I feel empowered after reading this book. Great read.

Misogynistic. A book clearly written by a patriarch who believe women have to modify this and that to make them attractive to men. Would not recommend at all.

"No matter how much of a free-spirit you are or how sexually liberated you think, this is where you have to decide if you want to throw pussy like a college girl simply looking to have fun or maintain pussy power like a Queen intending to reveal a King."

An except. 👎
