Summary: Intentionally Excellent
Comment: The June 7, 2003 review is all wrong and does not seem to "get it." Could it be an author of a competing book? Probably. Each point is exagerrated and inaccurate.
[Another reviewer flipped through the book at an airport, read one sentence, got on the internet, tracked down this book and decided to write a whole review on it? Sounds fishy. Probably another competing author.]
-The book says that SOMETIMES (not all the time) when a girl is not responsive it is because her switch is off (e.g., she has a BOYFRIEND). Nothing wrong with that statement in the book.
-Girls don't like being grabbed by surprise while they are walking somewhere. Book says it is better to wait until a girl is situated and comfortable before approaching her. The book DOES NOT say to follow or stalk a girl. You can watch a girl with your eyes and wait until she is not moving. Nothing wrong with that statement in the book.
-Often guys will compete over the same girl. The book DOES NOT talk about fistfights breaking out among guys. The book tells you how to compete with other guys in cool and calm manner. (e.g., tell the girl you'll talk to her when she's a has a minute).
-If a girl lies and says she has a boyfriend, then that is GOOD. You don't have to waste time talking to someone who is not interested. The point in the book is that you shouldn't waste time talking to girls who have boyfriends or say that they do. If you ask them if they have a boyfriend after five minutes, you a better off than waiting a half hour. THE BOOK IS RIGHT ON TARGET ON THAT.
-The 5 opening lines listed are supposed to be said in good humor just to break the ice, not to hit a home run. If you say in a casual, fun way you can't go wrong. I don't know what the problem is of the angry writer who calls men "scumbags" several times in her review. Her "scumbag" is just a guy trying to talk to her and get to know her.
-Alcohol is a social drink and always has been. The book carefully says not to drink too much. It says to be careful and just have one or two to loosen up and not be stiff. Alcohol is served at every party, wedding, social function, sporting event, concert, etc. in the free world. What is the writer's problem?
The book is totally informative and very humorous too. The book works. It is great and has helped me get tons of girls. If any book will change your life, it is this one. I have recommended it to all my friends. I have had to buy it a few times because I never get it back when someone borrows it. Other people take it without asking and never give it back.
I would love to debate that angry writer. She's clueless (if it even is a girl - you don't know on the internet).

Summary: Stay away from this book
Comment: I only read little of the this book while at a bookstore. But, I read some advice that is completely wrong. So, I would not trust any advice this book gives.
The author instructs guys to not dance with a woman they are interested in if possible. I know with experience that this advice is wrong.
Rating: 3
Summary: Unintentionally hilarious
Comment: I picked this book up in an airport after a night of being constantly and unsuccessfully hit on by cheesy guys. I laughed the whole way home at the authors suggestions for picking up girls. Most of the techniques he describes remind me of the techniques of the lame dudes my friends and I are constantly brushing off.
Here are some golden nuggets from the book:
If you are hitting on a girl (called "laying your rap") and she doesn't like you, it has nothing to do with you- it is because she "has her switch off" (has a boyfriend, is a lesbian, etc). Uh, ok.
If you see a girl walking, don't stop her and start your "rap". Instead "follow her as she moves" and wait for her to stop. Yeah, there's just something about a dude who follows me around as I'm walking that makes me want to hook up with him!
If a fight breaks between you and some other guy over a girl: "You should view those nights as a fun challenge..."
"A girl usually wil not lie about whether she has a boyfriend. Having a boyfriend is so important to a girl that it takes precedence over about everything else and is not something for her to lie about. If she does lie, she knows it could jinx her relationship with the boyfriend". Ha! Come on now, we all know girls lie all the time about having a boyfriend to get rid of scumbags who are hitting on us.
Here is a sample of opening lines to use (say this stuff out loud for full effect:
"Look at you, all dressed up from work"
"Look at you guys, on a girls' night out"
"Look at you, with your pretty party dress"
"I saw you at the bathroom. Always long lines for the girls"
"I'll buy you any drink you want because tonight is your night"
There is much, much more! Such as a section on how important alcohol is to your "rap". This stuff is priceless. Is there some good advice in here? Sure. But it is common sense, and buried deep among the other nonsense. (I can honestly say that the only good advice that isn't common sense is not dancing. Most guys can't do it without looking lame.) If taken seriously, this book can teach you how to be that drunk, creepy guy at the bar who is hitting on everyone. If you are lucky, you will be able to attract the drunkest, easiest, most desperate and unattractive girls.
The rating system does not really apply for this one. I give it a 4 or 5 for humor and gag-gift appeal; 1 for information. Read it, you will not be sorry!
