Summary: A sanitized perspective on dating
Review: Overall, I thought this was an informative and useful book. Although I didn't care for the author's rosy point of view about having multiple casual partners with few repercussions. The book largely ignores pregnancy, STDs, psychos and other emotional issues involved in sexual relationships. Take this book with a healthy dose of reality.

Summary: Ok seriously, this book is pretty much in the ballpark.
Review: Read the book, really good stuff. The info it has is definately useful and in many cases accurate. I've talked with all my friends that are women and they've looked at the book and came to the same conclusions as me. This book hits it right on the spot! Except for some of the stories inside that they use as examples probably seem a little fantasy, but the concepts are still genuine. Great job guys, I hope you will publish more great books about CCR.

Summary: More-or-Less
Review: There are many good points, good & practical examples, reasonable practical conclusions, and even some theoretical elaborations. However, I feel that, it might not be easy for a person with every-day Western moral and ethical standard to see or learn beyond the superficial; since it's so entangled.The upside is that this book provides explicit instructions to help one change one's personality to be more social, approachable and interesting. However, I do agree with another reviewer that it (or, at least it's portrayal) is pretty shallow and wish it was more serious. The book provides many examples to strength it's case, which I think is very good and necessary. However, unless I just fell from the Moon, many discussions are very superficial. ...P>With respect to meeting people likelihood list, as simple as it looks, most of it makes sense. The gradation of guys seems to make sense too. Although, in both cases, this is an oversimplification for the every-day. One must remmeber that things are NOT always SIMPLE! Last, to leave a good comment about the book, I give credit to the women abuse statistics session (altough the title of the book is VERY inconsistent with that context and tone). Finally, I do agree that: Men should STOP thinking of women as SEX objects!

Summary: Head and shoulders above the rest
Review: These guys' books are by far the best out there. Other books are about using cheesy pickup lines, or sleezy methods to approach women. This book focuses on what women want. It's great - they take you step-by-step through where women want to meet guys, how to appraoch women, how to strike-up a conversation, how to ask for her #, how to ask her out, what to do on a date. Everything you need to know, in a very easy-to-read (& enjoyable!) format.I also ordered their sequels with this book - The Nice Guys' Guide to Getting Girls. I've read volume 1, & it's just as good as this book. It goes into more details on certain things, like online dating and how to approach women in the always-tough bar environment. I just ordered Volume 2 of The Nice Guys' Guide to Getting Girls & can't wait to start reading that! Thanks guys, for a great series of books, that stand head and shoulders above the other books in this category.

Summary: The information can turn against you if
Review: This book contains some useful information. But if you don't use it wiselly you can became a Nice Guy and you are not going to get a girlfriend, date, night stand whatever. If you don`t know how to treat women as friends the information is ok, but if you want a male female interaction this book can easyly mislead you. Buy another book, there are plenty of then much better than this, even those that are sold as e-books.

Summary: get what you want
Review: This book is great. A lot of common sense stuff. It really helps explain how to get what you want by giving girls what THEY want! After all, dating is a barter, and to get something good you have to give something good in return. It's already starting to pay dividends. I had dinner with a beautiful TV model/actress and I was just her friend. We made out, and she even paid for me (well, at the second place we went)! It really does work. It dawned on me that a lot of the things they advise doing in the book are things that gay men probably do naturally, which may be why so many beautiful women have gay friends. An alternate title to the book might be something like "The Gay Man's Guide To Getting Laid." Thanks to John & Steve for writing such a wonderful book.

Summary: TERRIBLE dating advice
Review: This book teaches you how to make women feel good about themselves through compliments, compassion and reasurance (men of CCR). This is what should work with women. It's what most men try with women. It's what fails with women. What the authors don't understand is women are sick. They react in the exact opposite way to what is normal and healthy. That's why, the hotter the woman, the more likely you will see her with a guy who is complete scum. Most women will read this book and go, that's exactly how I want a man to act. But, they hold men who are actually like this, in deep contempt. Quite frankly, most men already do what the authors suggest. Usually, they end up playing "captain free therapist" for a woman. Eventually, a woman "settles" for them and exploits them financially before abandoning them. Evidence of this is all around us for anyone to see if they choose to do so. Not a good outcome. Want a better outcome? I suggest works by R Don Steele, Tony Wood, David DeAngelo and Roy Valentine. However, I also recommend this book for its competing paradigm (probably the best book on this). Read it. Try it out. Decide for yourself what works and why. It's this habit of learning and experimentation that is important. Not any particular way of thinking. This book has much to offer but the results won't be what the authors say it will. It's VERY important to see this for yourself and understand why.

Summary: Honor & Integrety
Review: This system used the way instructed in the book, is both correct, & Dead on, but where I am going is that this info is used for GOOD, With Honor & Integretity. YES you can sleep with women, but at the same time this book teaches that women have feelings too, there in lies the key, for a Man of CCR to be a real man, By using the skills of CCR to help women in need emotionally, making their lives a lighter brighter, & Happier. I saw a lady friend yesterday, she acted shy. I Comlpemented her, and was SUPER possitive in conversing with her, to see her smile was reward enough, and the cute single new lady living above her who was talking to her right then...., well as I walked away. she asked her about me, all I heard was he is sooooo compassionate.............I could see in my truck mirror both of them looking at me smiling, so ok, SHE IS VOUCHING FOR ME and not even knowing it, and this new single girl, with blond hair down to her waist, well.....whats next?

Summary: How to be a whipped!
Review: Well I much agreed with recent reviews that some of the materials are informative and could put into good use. The rest?!? Some of the dialogues in here made me stop reading and step outside for fresh air coz I was gonna puke. The theme of the book is for you to be mainly a nice guy and be friend and build a network of girls who like you. Well, who is gonna do that? I think girls should have their girlfriends to help them in that department and what they should look for in guys is for them to be, well, guys. Straight and simple. This book is loosely argued, one sided, and oxymoronic. Oh I could have given it 2 stars for partially decent info but the dialogues made my stomuch churn one time too many. Case closed.

Summary: what guys would do if they took time to think about it
Review: wow this really does work... and the funny thing is that most guys know this but NEVER do it, maybe because they never took time to think about it. But my eyes are open now cuz all in all it works.. and they are right about the dont be afraide to call , after all she is a friend.. I hope these guys write other books. and i love how they are easy reading and they dont waste pages on boring stuff like many other books..
