Unbelievable.......this book is geared toward teaching teenage girls how to attract males, with not much mention of teaching males manners or how to attract females. Teenagers in general need to be encouraged to get a good education and build functional, friendly, relationships, not how to preen and touch intimately. I found it extremely simple and the CHEESY sayings in boxes are just ridiculous (When you are in a place with a guy who seems interested and interesting, you should start the eye dance of flirting!) Now there's some profound advice. Don't waste your money on this one!

Please do NOT be fooled by the good ratings this book received, as I was. If you were going on the title of the book, as well as the positive reviews this book received, you'd naturally expect something clever and helpful. This is not the case. I was very disappointed to find that the book is pretty useless. It is portrayed in a childlike manner, filled with poor quality sketches instead of photographs or decent drawings. The font used is huge, and there are a few typos too. Most irritating, however, is the tone the author uses "Don't be afraid to ask for help from the big strong boys" or how about "You can still be strong without being tough"... and the ever dominating theme of the book seems to be summed up in "Males like females who signal, but the signal can't be too enouraging or the girl will appear cheap." Believe me, you want to pass on this one.

Thank you Raymond McGraime, you are truly the master of Flirting, Dating and Romance, as well as, in the art of body language. I'm in my mid-twenties and since I've been using the tips from your book I've been getting more dates than ever. I wish I had this book when I was a teenager. For all the ladies (young and old) this is a book to get. I've learned what I've been putting out there by my walk, my stance, my facial expressions, and much much more. And the men will notice! You'll notice too, I feel so much more confident and aware of myself. Knowing how to use your body and what your body language is projecting definitely gives you the edge. For the ladies that are beyond there teenage years the rules still apply in business and in pleasure. If there's one book to buy this year let it be this, you will truly not regret it. I hope each reader will enjoy it as much as I have.

Ever feel as if you're being sent a signal by someone? By the way they move, dress or talk to you? It's very likely they are. Raymond McGraime provides in great detail all the signals and their meanings in relationships.

Some may be worried this book is approaching dating from too much of a scientific approach. Perish the thought. The guide is very down to earth and a pleasure to read. You needn't worry about misinterpreting any gestures with its accurate explanations.

Many detailed and easily recognizable signals are depicted throughout the book with thorough descriptions and well-done drawings. Not only does it provide the gestures you should avoid, but also others to incorporate into your own relationship. Simple things such as clothing or how you walk can have a great impact on others.

Even if this book is targeted more towards a female reader, it is still a very valuable and informative guide to a male. Definitely a book worth reading.

After reading the other reviews, I feel as though I must've read a completely different book because I didn't find this book to have many helpful suggestions at all. Honestly, it reads as though it's been taken from some fluffy teen magazine or a scene out of "Clueless." Some of the tips were truly cringe-inducing. For example, "don't be afraid to ask for help from the big, strong boys once in a while." Please. A waste of money and printing material as far as I'm concerned.

I was looking up my former AP Biology teacher Mr. McGraime, and found this book on amazon which he wrote. I just wanted to assure readers that Mr. McGraime is NOT sexist as some readers believe him to be and that he is a brilliant teacher with an extensive background in biology and physiology. Don't take my word for it. Just do a google search on "raymond mcgraime half hollow" and you'll find a couple of the many students he's mentored to become westinghouse and intel international science and engineering fair finalists over the years. I just had to speak up because he's by far one of the best teachers I've ever had, and although his book may sound sexist at times, he is assuredly not sexist.

"Guys don't have a clue." That's what the book says. Unless you're a guy who's read the book, it's probably right. It was for me at least. At first, I didn't think I could get anything out of the book, but my friend convinced me it was worth a read.(Thanks, Chris!) This book made everything I'd ever experienced with girls make a lot more sense in terms of body language, and I'm pretty sure I owe my current GF to having read this book. I'd reccomend this to any guy who isn't a natural "ladies man," and just wants some answers about they way girls show what they're thinking.

When purchasing this book I was under the impression that it was for both men and women. The back cover line "The secrets of body language will have you staring in his dreams!" pretty much sums that up. As for providing a good basis for figuring out what women are thinking... It pretty much covers how women can get our interest, but not how we are to read or act on the signals. Or even what the signals mean. Additionally, this book is focused on a "young adult" audiance to whom college age guys are older men. Get the point? If I had had the chance to look at this book before buying I never would have wasted my money.

it did a lot for me. i can tell you this much. it's really great. it tells you all sorts of stuff like how to deal with males and females and what both are thinking and what they want from each other. this is an instruction manual for getting accepted both socially and romantically, so to speak. anyway, i recommend this book to anyone, any sex, any age.

This book gave me an entirely new perspective on gender roles and the different ways they communicate.

They always say " a picture is worth a thoudand words" well, the pictures in this book are certainly worth atleast that. They are detailed and plentiful.

This book helped bring some of the romance back into my relationship. Now I don't have to wait for him to say I Love You I see it in his body language.
