Summary: Mr.Viddler, please re-write this book
Review: ...and use someone who knows how to edit...it is by far one of the worst books ever written in terms of communicating ideas...it is not written in English...on the flip side your message is potentially extraordinary and is so powerful that it could change people's lifes in significant ways...I am one of those who was never successful in getting the woman I love to love me...I have recently started applying the principles..do not know yet if the principles would work..but have a feeling that it is working...but what I have seen while reading the book (guess trying to read the book is better description...gosh...what a horrible language and editing..) I saw all the things I have been doing wrong...and related to it...again PLEASE RE-WRITE THE BOOK then it will have a chance of becoming a masterpiece...short sentences please...no unnecessary words..plain English..please..

Summary: Academic and thoughtful, but fatally flawed
Review: A sober, well-written and well thought out set of instructions by someone whose knowledge of the singles market is clearly secondhand.

Nice psychology. Some wonderful truths. Yes, G. Clayton, being a good man wanting to fall in love means I have a wonderful gift for someone. And there are others that are wonderfully affirming. But here's the rub.

You say that women would consider the most romantic place to meet a man to be the New York subway system. That women would welcome a potential love-of-their-life in the grocery store, bookstores, art galleries, whatever. Makes good sense, and I bet lots of women would agree or even volunteer these things.

But to paraphrase Mammy in a certain 1939 movie, what women want and what they say they want is two different things. In my recent 2 1/2 year-long being single experience, top-quality women are as receptive to meeting men for romance in daily life as your publisher would have been to receive the manuscript for this book written in crayon on construction paper. These women go to bars - regardless of their socioeconomic status. They log on to chat rooms. They meet men through friends. They go to singles events (though that's rare for attractive women with good careers under 45). They occasionally let someone in when their guard gets taken down by stressful events, such as those who marry the security guard who helped them when their car was stolen. And in life as it is, rather than life as some think it should be, that's about it.

Makes sense, too. If you were a successful, attractive and smart early-30's woman, would you want to go through life looking at everyone, in romantically-available mode, all the time? You would get 20-50 men EVERY DAY hitting you up - you couldn't do anything else. And as for my wonderful gift, about which I sincerely agree with you, if the woman has the epidemic disease of fear and hostility toward intimacy, it will end up ungiven.

With all of that said, the book is heartening and useful. A good and worthwhile read.

Summary: A masterpiece on seduction.
Review: A theoretical framework for seduction based upon sound psychological principles (with a reliance on Jungian principles) and full of practical advice. A real gem in a crowded field. I ran across it in a bookstore and could not believe my luck as I skimmed through it. This works. I applied it and despite being fat, ugly, bald, poor and unemployed I started to get date invitations from previously unattainable and very attractive women. Try it. You won't be disappointed. I wasn't. Part I: What Causes Love. Part II: Strategy of Seduction. Part III: Finding Someone Special. Part IV: Making the Initial Contact. Part V: How to Win a Specific Individual's Love.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Principles of Seduction
Review: Excellent book on seductive principles, sensible psychology. I have read the information and it works just as a college major of study. If you want to seduce more than just the average date, read the book. It is a very complex book that lends beyond love potions. Confirming the other's gender identity is very much psychology, sociology is not the book. It goes beyond how to be your favorite movie star who likely seduced you. If you want to be on top read the top seduction book. Then you may seduce movie stars, instead of being seduced by people who write about them.
Seducing introverts and extroverts requires more study than in the book, but it is a good start if you are serious about being a master of seduction, learning about the self-ideal is a good concept. Equally important the book warns you of seducing the wrong person for you.

Summary: Exisitentialist philosophy has little to do with romance
Review: I bought this book expecting to receive a text dealing with communication skills and perhaps behavioral psychology. Much of this book, however, is based on existentialist philosophy (Nietzche's "romance" ideas didn't work on Mathilde Trampedach or Elisabeth, so they probably won't work for you). You will find little practical advice from this book subtitled as a "How to." Try Leil Lowdnes instead.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Mr.Viddler, please re-write this book
Review: I think this is a good book, and the author seems like a serious, knowledgeable person. You will need to read it twice and study it because the language used is a little complicated for people not familiar with psychology. But I can assure you it has helped me to improve my seduction techniques! I'm actually applying his ideas to my life, like the "confirming the gender identity" technique, and I've seen possitive results.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good, but a little difficult to understand
Review: I think this is a good book, and the author seems like a serious, knowledgeable person. You will need to read it twice and study it because the language used is a little complicated for people not familiar with psychology. But I can assure you it has helped me to improve my seduction techniques! I'm actually applying his ideas to my life, like the "confirming the gender identity" technique, and I've seen possitive results.

Summary: Powerful
Review: Read this book and truly understand the power of seduction. The principles behind this writing are simple yet so often misunderstood by most people. This simple yet powerful psychology of human behavior is a must for the person wanting to acquire the skills necessary to understand what it takes to seduce. It is quite amazing to understand how to connect to someone else in a way that is simple for anyone wanting to possess the skill.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An Interesting book
Review: Some interesting thoughts in this book. Though I did think the
author rather cold in his approach to seduction, rather like a
reptile in his emotions toward the opposite sex. (...)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Skip this (self-published) book --
Review: Sorry, this book is horrible. The negative reviews are right on. The positive reviews seem to be highly bogus.....

(1) The book is horribly written, hard to follow, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive,

(2) the book is NOT based on research or empirical evidence, but on the author's (it doesn't even seem like he has a bachelor's degree) "theories", like there are only two kinds of people, liberal and conservative-- learn what someone is, and presto-- they will fall in love with you.

(3) This book will simply not help you. There are no secrets here, no cool ideas, no insight.

(4) You will be sad if you by this book--- you will know immediately when you open it that you have wasted your money, AND, if you do read it--- i actually did--- you will feel horrible--- it is a boring, tedious, WASTE OF TIME!

(5) if you do buy the book, and i'm not 100% dead-on-right, email me, and i will publically repent.
