Nice Guys Don't Get Laid

Summary: Nice guys finish last... and then get spit on
Review: For the woman that wrote below: The term "nice guy" does not refer to assertive, funny, etc. men; for, these types of men are actually men. What "nice guy" refers to are the docile, testosterone lacking whimps that become true friends with a girl and have dillusions that someday she'll see how much love he can offer her; the men that show themselves to be reliable companions in times of emotional crisis--like when a new guy f**** her and leaves her. In short, to be a "nice guy" is to lack balls when it comes to women. Of course this is book is a humorous look into the plight of a "nice guy." But the truth isn't far from reality. Women don't want sensitive, neutered men; they want a man who takes command--a man that acts like a man. Any woman that says otherwise is either a liar, has a chemical imbalance, or is a feminist(a filthy beast indeed). For those that suffer from nice guy-itis, take this book literally--it'll save you a bunch of grief.

Summary: If your sole purpose is to get laid, are you a nice guy?
Review: Granted, the book have several funny lines and characterizations, but I feel that those who even take a few lines seriously are not very keen into introspection.

The book fails to include the view of a single woman on her perceptions about dating. It never mentions that nice guys who are funny, witty and asertive, take to bed much more women that those which are categorized as jerks.

The problem for the large majority of the so called "nice guys" is that they fail to recognize that their sole motivation for being "nice" is to take a woman to bed. So they try to sell themselves as harmless and honest or use the strategy of "best friend" to get close while being undercover.

Women on the other hand have a great sense of intuition to feel that those guys who portray themselves as "nice" are just a bunch of sex starved hipocrits, who use a lame strategy to get into their panties and most probably if they lack imagination and self assurance they must be lousy in bed.

So the dilemma is not between being nice or a jerk, the real issue is how to express what we want and if the answer is NO, how to move to the next relationship with your self steem untouched.

Summary: Funny, provocative and with some truth
Review: I bought this book few days ago, and I was laughing while I read this book. I recommend all single people out there to read this book because this book gives a freshing look at dating. For men, they should not take this book seriously, but humorously, because this book asks us to be more abusive toward women. However, it is a must read book for women. This book gives many examples of how women flock to famous Mr. Abuse. No wonder domestic violence has been on the rise.

Many of the Mr. Abuse examples are dated, so I would like to include a more recent example, Howard Stern. I saw his autobiographical movie, "Private Parts". In this movie, while he was Mr. Nice Guy on radio, no woman gives a damn about him. When he changed his personality on the radio, women are taking their clothes off in front of him, and some even wanted to have to sex with him. Fortunately (or unfortunately, as he has put it) he would not because he is married.

To summarize, for guys, they should read this book from humor side. For gals, it is a must read because they may be dating Mr. Abuse, and they do not even know it.

Review: I love this book. I had a string of really bad relationships and was always complaining to one of my guy-friends about them. He was a true Mr. Nice Guy. He got really sick of me, and suggested very "nicely" (as was always his fashion) that I read this book. No, I don't recommend following this book in order to get chicks, but I do recommend that some women read it very carefully. It's a comic book. No one likes to be lectured, but this book helps you take it a little easier. It also helps me recognize a Nice Guy when I see one, and now I'm married to one.

Summary: Wish I'd had this in HS & College
Review: Mr. Meleton's book is great. The humor is on target andbiting. While not a psychology text, it does give some insight intothe mentality of women who think jerks need to be rescued. Also, froma generally nice guy point of view, it points out that while notgiving up being nice, nice guys need to get a healthy dose of selfrespect.

Nice Guys, don't give in to despair. Don't wonder"what's wrong" with you. Not a dadburn thing. When thefemales tire of being treated like dirt, and come your way, just laughat them. Really, do you want to touch one of these women knowingwhere they've been and with whom?

Ladies ... grow up. You will bebetter off with a nice guy and save yourself a great deal of pain.

Summary: Don't get the wrong impression
Review: This book was really good. Although the book is primary written to let the Nice Guy know that he is not alone, it gives both men and women a look into the phenomenon that has plagued the dating world for as long as I can remember: Women are attracted to jerks. It does this through the use of numerous funny and extreme examples. Although I disagree with some of the premises in this book, the book itself was meant to be nothing more than a humorous, enlightening satire based on a man's own experiences with the upside-down world of dating. I'm glad I bought it and I'm going to pass it on to some of my more disenchanted friends!

Summary: A reader
Review: This is some very basic stuff, girls don't go out with nice guys they go out with loud abusive jerks. Thats all this book really says, it doesnt go any deeper than that, it is filled with cartoons that take up lots of space and the words are set in a rather large font plus the book is thin at less than 100 pages, it is o.k. as a humer book, maybe it would make a good gift but if you are looking for a serious treatise on the female psyche then stay away from this book.

Summary: Good guide for Nice Guys
Review: This was a simple book with some basic truths about dating that your parents didn't tell you. It includes some humorous illustrations and stories. I liked it bit prefer "How to be the jerk women love" by F.J. Shark.

Summary: Been a while?
Review: When you've gone without for a while, this book really hits home, serious or not. You can see the trends everywhere! I loaned this book to a friend (who didn't really need it), and haven't seen it since. Time to buy a new one! Being a nice guy myself, I completely empathize with Mr. Meleton.
