Great book!, December 6, 2008
This review is from: Dating To Relating - From A To Z: (A Man's Guide To Understanding Women) (Paperback)
I've read David Deangelo, Mystery, Tiffany Taylor, Ross Jeffries, and Neil Strauss.
This was the absolute best of all of these authors by far. Yes it had a few grammatical errors but who cares. I'm trying to learn how to meet women not how to speak English...and as far as meeting women goes this guy has the best data, and that is all that really counts.
It is not a bunch of memorized lines like most of the other guys, it is based on understanding different personalities and different situations and doing the appropriate thing for the personality and situation.
I had some minor success with Deangelo's stuff Approaching Women and Starting Conversations DVD Program by David DeAngelo and no success with the PUA guys - Strauss The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists and Mystery The Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women Into Bed - because their approach just wasn't me. I don't want to be a pick up artist, I just want to be able to meet women.
David Deangelo's books help (I would recommend them) but he does not give as deep an understanding of how all the attraction variables work as Mr. L Rx does. Plus Mr. L.Rx goes into relationships and how to keep a woman you like after you get her.
All and all the is the best book on the subject available. All the women I have met as a result of applying this don't see me as some kind of sleezy pick-up artist, they see me as a "cool guy" who just seems to get along well with women and people in general. That is the way I want to be seen. If you want to understand women and actually be successful at meeting women and establishing a relationship this is a must buy.

Absolutely The Best!, May 23, 2009
This review is from: Dating To Relating - From A To Z: (A Man's Guide To Understanding Women) (Paperback)
Well this has been without doubt the best $31 I have ever spent in my entire life. This book absolutely changed my life. Nothing in my life that I have ever read has had such a life changing impact on me so quickly. If you want to learn how to meet and relate to women, do yourself a favor and get this book.
I bought this book a number of months ago on Amazon but didn't get around to reading it until lately. Actually I started reading it, got turned off by something in the first few pages and put it down...Meanwhile a friend gave me "Double Your Dating" by David Deangelo and I bought "The Mystery Method" and "The Game" in a used book store.
I met a girl as a result of Denagleo's book, even had sex. However, she wasn't my type and it didn't last long.
Mystery's and Strauss books while interesting were pretty useless to me. Perhaps if I had read them before I read Deangelo they might have been more useful. As it is they didn't get me anywhere. They didn't improve on anything Deangelo wrote. I think they appeal more to guys who want to be pick up artist. I just want a girlfriend. So then I finally got back to reading Dating To Relating - From A To Z.
The second time I started reading it, I couldn't even remember why I was turned off the first time. ( I now think it was the grammar factor that several other people have mentioned.) But this time, after having read the other guys books, within minutes I realized Mr. L. Rx really knew what he was talking about.
The biggest problem I had with the other guru's books is that they all treated women as if there was only one type of women, and one way to approach them. I really didn't feel comfortable being "cocky and funny" and the various other things that these gurus wanted me to do.
Mr.L. Rx's style is way beyond some fabricated approach. He is the only one who points out that different women have different personalities and require different approaches. And he is the only one that gives you different ways to approach different types of women.
With Mr. L. Rx's book I actually achieved an understanding of interpersonal relationships and how to be comfortable approaching any woman while still being "me." Better yet I learned how to approach the type of women that I was interested in - a smart classy woman that basically would laugh at me when I used the Deangelo, Mystery, and Strauss approaches.
Using Mr. L. Rx's techniques made meeting women natural - not a strain. Within a week of reading his book, I had met and was dating four new women. And since it usually takes me about two years to meet and date one woman, this was quite an accomplishment. For the first time in my life I felt free of inferiorities and self-deprecation.
Best of all, all four of the women really liked me and said I wasn't like other guys. Almost exactly the words Mr. L. Rx said they would say in the book. I wasn't having to act like some jerk to impress them. I was just being me, and for the first time in my life I had the problem of deciding who I liked the best and who I wanted to continue seeing the most. Nor was I having to lie or hide my intentions from anyone - they all know I am dating other women.
I can't say enough about this book. Again it has changed my life. This is the true technology of how to meet and relate to women. None of the other books even come close.
If there are some grammatical oddities don't be deterred by them. The knowledge this book imparts is way more important than how it says it. If you want to learn how to meet and relate to women and still be yourself - not some pick up artist jerk - do yourself a favor and get this book.
And if you do want to be some pick up artist jerk. Then this book will still work better for you than the others. It will make you more of a pick up artist and less of a jerk.

Review of Dating to Relating..., December 28, 2008
This review is from: Dating To Relating - From A To Z: (A Man's Guide To Understanding Women) (Paperback)
Review of Dating to Relating...
I am a first time reader of any type of dating book. I was married for 21 years but now find myself single and out of touch with the dating scene. I always thought that I was a hot item but my methods that once worked 20 years ago are, well, lame.
I discovered after reading this book that my approach was indeed exactly the same as what Mr. L. Rx describes as "dating gurus". I was applying specific strategic approaches to all women. My strategy was similar to throwing 20 darts at a wall with the hope that one would hit a balloon. It worked but I never got the balloon that I wanted and once I hit it, I couldn't keep it. I needed a better way of collecting balloons, not a very professional analogy and possible even a bad one, but I am not a professional.
Mr. L. Rx. Introduces the reader to what he defines as his technology approach to dating and relating. He discusses in depth using excellent examples from his life to explain the difference between "dating gurus" that simply apply dating strategy to all women as if they are all made from one mold. Anyone with any history with women know that they are indeed like snowflakes, no two are the same, and that any effective approach to dating and relating with them must be scientifically methodical and individualized. We have come a long way since the cave man days and yet we still use primitive approaches when hunting for women. That must and will change due to DR. L. Rx.
His technology begins by dispelling the myth that dating is a numbers game, similar to my dart/balloon analogy, but rather is a discipline that can be "MASTERED" if one educates oneself in a few areas that Dr. L.Rx provides. He follows with a very detailed explanation of his background and how it relates to his validity as a credible expert in the area of dating and relating.
The first step is to discover how to communicate with women after a brief period of analysis and evaluation. He posits that one should only approach women that are within their area of interest rather than the old approach of being desperate. Once approached women have a different thought process and he offers the reader an opportunity to fully understand this process in great detail, e.g. fear factor - "women like men who make them feel `safe'" (pg. 25). He discusses the fact that women are much more perceptive then men thus creating a clear for them when being approached, they can smell out a rat - `caveman looking for sex who will say and do anything to get it'.
In regards to another reviewer concerning grammatical errors, yes there are a few but he is misrepresenting this book by claiming that "almost every page has" errors. This book is no different than any other book that I have read. I always find errors in spelling and grammar. The content of this book is perfectly presented. It is logical, methodical, and reasonable in every way. Dr. L. Rx. Goes to great lengths to explain that some of his observations and conclusion are not meant as scientific absolutes but rather as predictors to a high degree of probability, e.g. the correlation of the angle of one's feet to one's degree of fear and the respective personality typing.
The bottom line is this: Will this approach be effective in getting me a date and/or possible future relationship? I have no doubt that it will. The book is reasonable and makes sense. I come away from this book with a much deeper appreciation for what women want and how "I" can apply that to finding my perfect match!
