Summary: Good way to find women
Review: A friend gave me this, I think to make me shut up about how there aren't any single women around. Oddly enough, it actually works. The thing that's getting me dates is one of the main things the book recommends, get some girl you're friends with to do the work for you. So I'm making the girl who gave me this take me out trolling for women. I haven't heard about this from other guys or the other books I've looked through, and I think it's definitely a technique to adopt. Go out in a group with at least one woman friend, make her go up to women you want to get to know and do girltalk, "hey i like your shoes" or whatever it is women do, and they just yammer away for a while. Then she gets you into the conversation with some line like, here's my friend john, he just won another nobel prize last week, or whatever it is you do. So you get that inner female circle thumbs up thing and you're a not some jerk hitting on her. You still have to ask her out directly, but it's easier and I get a much better yes percentage this way.

Summary: Easy simple stuff that works.
Review: I haven't used dating books before (yeah, sure, he says) mostly because there always seemed to be enough women around. Except now there don't seem to be as many women around anymore, they're all married or have men lined up around the block, so I thought, well, what the heck. RTFM. And it seems to work pretty well. I haven't had the book long but here's how a couple things worked out for me. One of the things is just ask some woman her opinion. I thought OK, now or never, looked around for someone and found a nice-looking girl going through the books at the bestsellers table. I just asked her if she liked Cold Mountain since I was thinking of buying it for my sister for Christmas. She said yes, liked it, told me the plot, and it just went on from there. We talked about the book and the movie for a good fifteen minutes and I didn't ask her out since I was kind of unprepared and hadn't expected it to work that well. But it seemed like if I'd wanted to buy her coffee she would have said yes. The other thing I tried is to just go out to random things that women will be at and do the same kinds of things: ask them their opinion, ask them about themselves, etc. I went to a couple book readings and there wasn't anyone interesting at the first one but the second one had three really cute girls that came together and, bonus, there was just me and another guy there who came with his wife. So afterwards I asked one of the girls what she thought of the book (again with the books) and we kept talking for at least an hour, got into current events, movies, etc. When we were saying goodbye one of them asked me to come to the Lord of the Rings with them and their friends tonight. So we'll see how that works out. In one week, I've just gone up to four good-looking women I don't know and with minimal effort, had great conversations with all of them that probably could lead to something. I'm thinking that's good results. Make the women do the talking and they like you. Go figure. If you want a book on easy stuff for meeting women and having them like you, this is definitely it.

Summary: Good advice for online ads
Review: The author, from what I can gather, is from Colorado and picked up on what's obvious to all the guys I know. The women are few and far between here. It was a relief to find out it's not just me, that the dating pool is a tough room. However, I've actually got a couple dates coming up next week because of a few changes I made to my Match profile after reading this book. Also followed the book's advice for responding to ads (talk about the things the women put in their ads among other things) and with the three responses I did with that approach, two of them wrote me back. So the book definitely works. Haven't tried the other stuff like picking up women in bookstores but I showed it to a couple women at work and they said it would work on them.

Summary: Female-vision goggles
Review: There are a lot of things about women that don't make sense to guys. The whole shopping thing, and how they can talk to each other forever about nothing, and the chocolate insanity, and all the stupid cultural things they want to drag you to, and a bunch of other stuff. So what do we do? We think, how stupid, and then try to hit on women with stuff that makes sense to us. So...right, I get it, that wasn't the smartest approach. This book basically lays out the things women like and tells you how to use those angles to infiltrate and get the chicks. Not quite how they say it but that's the deal. The stuff seems weird at first since it's ridiculously simple, but then it just works. The Godiva chocolate sat on my desk for about an hour before the word got out and now I've got three or four women who come by every day to talk and get chocolate. No effort on my part. I even hauled myself out to some dance lessons, and I felt like a total idiot for the first few minutes but it got easier, plus as predicted there were some really good-looking women there and I've gone out a couple times with one of them. I still feel like kind of an idiot for not figuring out this stuff earlier but mostly I'm just pumped that it's working and it's really easy.

Summary: Superficial
Review: This book had me rolling my eyes during the introduction, but I read the whole thing to be fair. Now that I managed to get through the book, here's my assessment. If the dating scene or the actual act of flirting and hitting on ladies makes you nervous or apprehensive, this book will not help you. It's tricks are just that, tricks, and no tricks can hide your lack of self-confidence.
What is in this book is superficial. Basically, it tells the guy to be a Swiss Army Knife. If there is any whim or desire a woman may have, guys should be there with the fulfillment. Some examples are have lip balm, learn to dance, have chocolates, keep a poncho on you for her if it starts raining, etc. I kid you not, these were in the book.
So all of these are designed to reel a girl in, emphasis on "girl", not "lady" or "woman". The tone of this book is rather condescending. The image of nagging women entered my mind often through the course of this read. If a guy does everything in the book, he will definitely be a doormat, at the very least. He may get a date.
I'm going to be fair. I'm not a woman, but like Ferris Bueller said, "You can't respect someone who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work." This book tells us men what women "say" they want, but is it what women "really" want deep down in their psyche? I've heard some women say they want Brad Pitt, pretty boy, and Sean Connery, classic cool. Do you really see Brad Pitt or Sean Connery carrying a poncho on them, just in case?
If you have a form of social anxiety, try "Stumbling Naked in the Dark: Overcoming Mistakes Men Make With Women" by Bradley Fenton. I bought both books, and I got more out of Fenton's book then this one. However, if you don't have any social anxiety, then this book may give you some insights. Personally, I find this book to be superficial and a bit manipulative. I wonder if the author is single, because if she is, she will probably remain that way for a while, IMHO.
