Summary: A Guide to SOME (USA) women
Review: Firstly I really think this book is telling you how to pull SOME chicks. It certainly isn't a universal key to the chastity belt! For example, they tell you that women like rich men. This is assuming of course that your intended date isn't an anti-capitalist protestor or member of the Communist party! Secondly it might mislead you into thinking all women are more promiscuous than they are. Some women will go for menage a trois, but there's some who won't sleep with you until they've been past the altar... So that's largely a culture thing for your more "liberated", liberal, American city chick (who isn't an anti-Capitalist protestor! :) ) Unfortunately I don't live in America, so some of the cultural references aren't helpful either.

I personally prefer Nick Casanova's "The Macchiavellian's Guide to Womanizing". His book is funny. Okay it might not have pictures of scantily clad ladies but it does have some good tips and is much more amusing. I think it's got a better general application.

Secondly note the race bias- all of the models seem to be white chicks. Maxim, FHM etc are bad for this... You do get good looking oriental women as well.

On the plus side, it gives you some tips on what to do which might seem more inventive and also it tells you how you can buy her presents without leaving your seat over the phone (which unfortunately were all American numbers!)... As for the sex tips, they seemed quite good, but if I wasn't getting more of it, I wouldn't buy this book!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good advice
Review: Reads like one big article straight out of Maxim magazine.

Has lots of usefull advice to help the average guy better understand and be more successful with women.

If you cannot even get a date this book really will not help you much, it's not that kind of a book, it seems geared more towards the inexperienced/confused guy who can easily get dates but keeps running into trouble. Trouble caused by his own ignorance.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty funny, not too useful.
Review: This book contributes nothing to the world, although it is pretty funny and an easy read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A book that tells you what women want
Review: This one is in serious competion with mine, but I was so impressed with it that I decided to say the hell with it, and put in a good review. This is the kind of writing that women want you to read. If you want to know more on what she thinks, buy this. From knowing how to ask for that date, to knowing how to dress for the part, here it is!

Perry Rose, author of Women, Sex And Dating, For The Single Man.

Summary: Good Information; Cheesy Cover
Review: Well, a beautiful woman is sprawled out on the cover. How typical for a book on this sunbject. Needless to say, that hesitated me in reading this. I have read other books on this subject, and it was like having a snake-oil saleman come to my door, wanting to sale me the typical junk. I was very surprised to find that this book was more useful than I thought. I was expecting the same old, same old. "HOW TO PICK UP BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, NO MATTER WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE!!" (...)You know the usual garbage.

This book stayed away from that. It gives the kind of advice that you can believe in. It has a of of great tips FROM women, not from men on how to be more successful with women. This makes it well worth the price. The only disappointment I had was that many of the pages are pictures, and I wanted more information instead. It was as if it was a rush job to get this printed. But, practically every page had a good ideas worth trying. Hey, Maxim, where is the second edition?! A single guy needs more information on what women want.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not your typical book on women
Review: When it comes to books like these, I am very skeptical. This one, however, is what men can believe in. It doesn't tell you lies and useless garbage on how men can get dates with beautiful women. It offers very good advice on how to dress, how to approach them and what they like and want from us. This is worth the asking price. This is one of the rare ones that is worth keeping. I counted up all the pages that really helped me, and made sense, and it was most of the book! It's quite a change from your typical books on this subject. BUY THIS!
