Most of the book seems to be a rehash of the pick-up books that recommend you just be yourself and not act creepy. This, of course, is one of the two major types of "how to pick up women" books. The other is the "outsmart 'em", "use them before they use you" contemptuous approach.

And telling men not to twitch, have bad breath or dirty clothing, etc., shouldn't be necessary. Really, that's just padding the book. If the answer is "It's not padding. You'd be surprised how many men don't follow these suggestions", I still think that someone who needs to be told this isn't going to be helped by the book. I can't imagine anyone saying, "I have to bathe before I go out to a bar? And wear clean clothes, too? Huh! I never knew that! Thank you, Dr. Z!"

Then there are the obvious observations, such as "Hot women tend to be more promiscuous than other women." I don't know if I agree with that, but, assuming it's correct, if someone is reading this book, it's because he wants to know HOW to approach women, not which ones to approach. It's only half an answer to say, "The hot women are the most likely to sleep with a man." The answer to that is, "And the hot women only want the hot men. So what am I supposed to do?"

What isn't a rehash, padding or obvious is just plain bad advice - and it isn't even consistent with the "just be yourself and don't act creepy, and women will like you" approach.

For example, she suggests you hang around women's shoe stores or clothing stores (that's creepy, isn't it? Unless you're going to use the transparent, "It's for my cousin/niece/sister" dodge).

She also recommends ploys such as waiting until you see an attractive woman check the price tag on a dress and, with a sad look on her face, put it back on the rack. Then you go over to her and buy her the dress! Now, that's setting a bad precedent. Not to mention that you might have to buy a lot of expensive dresses before you get a date out of it!

Being a woman who has been referred to in the past as "a hottie", I can attest to and agree with many areas of this book by beautiful, intellligent Dr. Victoria Zdrok.

She hits the nail on the head with this book (as well as her others)by virtue of real-time, real-life tips on how to make connections. This book is brilliant in that she opens her mind and takes on many different roles--from the perspective of a man, a woman, a psychologist, someone who has had good experiences, someone who has had bad experiences--all with a touch of humor so as to not scare shy readers away.

It is not a book/guide full of fluff. There is real content which is formally written and then constructed into tip sheets, etc. No mattter what you visual preference is, you can easily find your way in the material.

Personal experiences are can be very useful tools. Dr. Zdrok inserts them frequently throughout the pages--but does not use them as tools to bash a person or experience--but as learning mini-vignettes. Wonderful, real-life/real-time examples.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to any fellow who is looking for fresh, new ways to meet up with a woman. Her theories, practices, and schools of thought have been validated by clinical studies and personal/professional references cited in the professionally approved American Psycholigical Association (APA) style--another example which goes to show that what is written in her book is legitimate and has passed the time of time.

Women can learn things from this book as well--it provides excellent insight into the thought processes of both men and women. If readers can open and stretch their minds to that of the opposite gender he/she will be that much more ahead of the game when in situations where certain body postures are presented, for example--or blocks of time pass without a follow-up phone call or email. This book wonderfully and thoroughly delves into the psyches of men who want to hook up and how women react to them. Two thumbs up!!

This book is good for some things, and not so good for others. It definitely has good advice in terms of dress, grooming, and nesting (getting your place up to par). Where I think it lacks good or clear and concise information is in the actual interaction process.

The problem is that she cites a lot of research studies, which sound good on paper, but don't reflect the real world. For instance, she claims that negs (a back-handed compliment) do not work, her proof is a survey of women. What woman in her right mind would say "yeah, if you insult me I'll be attracted to you"? But clearly, negs do work. They've worked for me many times and many other guys that I know personally. The reason for this is discrepancy is that women are not entirely conscious of what they're attracted to. They claim they want a sensitive nice guy, but end up sleeping with more dominant, aggressive, and narcissistic men time after time.

Still, it's not a bad book to read, but certainly following this advice won't actually get you a playboy model. For that you're better off taking advice from a guy that's good with women.

If your looking for a book that will allow you to truly how to approach, entertain and please women buy this book. It is filled with a lot of tips and pointers that men don't know. I think men go for the usual, straight forward approach only to crash and burn. Dr. Z does a great job to approach all aspects of dating - from the conversation starter to pleasing her later ;). Don't look at this purchase as a question to your inabilities with women - It is way more than that and the information is priceless!

This of course is one of dozens of 'Get a Girl Books' But I would rather listen from a girls point than a mans!
So many were shocked at 'But her a dress' but look deeper.
If you date her, the 'L' word is mentioned, don't you buy her a dress if she wants one? (Oh and I am a guy if anyone is wondering) One of my best and longest relationship was when on a 3rd date I put 500$ in her hand and said 'Go Shop ! Learn how 'dating' works.. my #1 favorite engaging book:
The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists'

Was I a sugar daddy, noooo. This girl had very little, I made her feel alive, like a person with worth. Nothing makes a girl smile more than when she is wearing a new dress, or new shoes.

This book is written by a beautiful woman, so yes she can get these things. You want the nice golf courses, don't you pay higher green fees.

If you are serious about wanting to step up your game, may I suggest Itunes 'Pickup Podcasts' over 100 'free' hours of hard, to the point advice about confidence, approach, building the inner you. When I walked out onto the stage and saw all the pretty girls, it is simple confidence and free will. I can approach anyone, be complimentary of her jewelry and see if she responds. After that..it is free will.
So there is nothing 'per se' good or bad about this book. Read it, learn some good things. But also may I suggest you focus on your self confidence, dress well, groom yourself and project a happy karma and just follow Dale Carnagies 9 rules. Smile, listen, ask questions, engage the other person. Oh and Compliment, that alone is the #1 most amazing way to make a girl smile and want to talk to you.. or a girl smiling to make a guy want to just go 'what is she happy about'..trust me, I always walk over on that one.

Be nice , think deep.

'A Mathmatician may be a blind man looking for a black cat in a dark room' but I will tell you one thing I learned.. It is out there..people want to be a couple.. Belive in yourself, laugh, be happy and the rest will come to you!

Rasputins-Magic

The main focus of this book is to reassure the male readers that there are beautiful women out there who will be attracted to any kind of physical or psychological anomaly. The message that resonated from the book seems to be a few short tips on how to meet women, sometimes by treating total strangers as higher class citizens, coupled with the reassurance that there's someone out there for everyone, no matter what your looks, interests, career, or personality. And if you're looking for a specific woman, you should find out her hobbies and her past boyfriends and reinvent yourself to match them. She tells readers to keep trying; a rejection is simply a sign of a bad fit rather than a honest testimony of the person's approach. This is a good book for reassuring people who feel hopeless after their last break up, but not a good resource for a person who's wondering why their past relationships have not held on. Dr. Z seems to tell readers the same kinds of things a relationship counselor picked out by your ex-wife would say.

By the way, did anyone else notice how many of the good reviews cited 'easy to read' as one of the pros of this book?

She probably wrote the book with good intentions. Or maybe she wanted to jump on the recent bandwagon of best-selling pickup books. But honest or not, this book was written for men to find women, from a woman's experience. Although she has a PhD in Psychology, her suggestions are not based on medical research. Although she references popular pickup artists, her ideology diverges from theirs. When deciding whether or not to buy this book, you should remember that she writes based upon her own experiences, expectations, and desires. I assume she has never tried any of the things suggested in this book to pick up other women. She only knows what has worked for her in the past and what her friends have told her. No girl imagines to meet her ideal man during a random conversation in the street who shares none of her interests and is the opposite of her physically and mentally. Most women I know tend to throw in the words "...and he was just so sweet..." somewhere when describing how they met their husband and men--that's how this book wants you to be.

There are 3 things you should take from this book however:
1. Notice how many times she uses her friends, almost as personal references, to prove her point.
2. All of her ideas have a pseudo-science name wrapped in an air of mystery.
3. Note how many of the attractive qualities she puts forward are associated with confidence (courage, leadership, bravery to expose one's weaknesses as well as his strengths etc).
These are things that women actually relate to and would be useful next time you're out there meeting new people.

So you can read this book, or you can simply remember to include your friends in your stories to provide validity (and make sure her friends like you too), take up any non-traditional western religion/ideology, and remember that even if you see yourself as an Average Joe with less to offer than 50% of your peers, that still means you're more of a catch than the other 50% of them.

This is an excellent, excellent book filled with funny and informative ways for "average" guys to date hot chicks...coming from a Playmate herself - Victoria Zdrok.

An easy and quick read, you'll get addicted from the very first page.

For the price, I highly recommend you pick up this book!

For me personally, it reaffirmed a lot of points and theories. Maybe that's why I decided to get into glamour photography! LOL!

Cheers, Simon!

cant complain. the best i've ever read on how to score on girls. better not tell anyone you have this book. it will be an unfair advantage. almost like hynosis. oh wait, it's even better than hypnosis.

"When I woke up, they told me I had a girl, 'Good,' I said, "I hope she grows up to be a little fool. That's the best thing a girl can be in this world--a beautiful little fool!!!!--F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby.
Dr Z has definately led a charmed life, no doubt about it. She came here from Ukraine, modeled for Playboy and Penthouse and got degrees; successful by anyone's standards. But I have to wonder if she would have faired so well in life if she wasn't such a winner of the genetic lottery--a beautiful little fool, as it were.
Reading the book and having some of Dr Z's personal sexual exploits sprinkled within the pages confused me a little bit. She advocates men spending money, yet she says that's not really what it takes. We, sadly, don't live in the era of sex for money (which in itself, at least, is honest); but rather we live in the days of the "promise" of sex for money/compensation. Some women make a game out of getting what they can from a man without giving him anything but a promise (lie) in return. It's the men's fault for doing this, of course, cause most of those same girls seem to fall for the badboy-types or even abusive men because that is what trips their trigger deep down. Dr. Z speaks only of the viewpoints of her and the ladies that she has gotten to meet over the years, mostly from her time in front of the camera. These women are sought after by every man on the planet and they know it, the true one-percenters of the nude modeling world. She makes it sound unbelieveably EASY to pick up and have sex with all women, hot or not. I think most men who want to have some semblance of a soul find it a bit harder than she would profess. I, for instance, want to be nice and sweet to a girl and also bang her like a Chinese gong. These things still seem to be mutually exclusive, even today.
I don't know, its a brave and scary new world we live in. Hooking up, weather for a night or a lifetime, is still largely a matter of timing and luck. All I can say is just be nice to that man or that woman who is trying to talk to you and try to have fun and enjoy the few short years we have here on Earth. Peace!!!

I've read these types of dating tips books before and figured I'd be dissapointed again. Boy, was I wrong. Dr. Z's book actually has some very useful and helpful information in it. It's a practical guide to meeting and picking up beautiful women. It's very easy to read, holds your interest and you breeze right through it. I highly recommend it.
