5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book Of Its Kind, October 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Guide: The Essential Resource Book For Picking Up Girls (Paperback)

This is by far the best book of its kind. I am very happy that I bought it. It is an excellent reference book that I often pick up and read through if I feel a little rusty at talking to girls.

The authors definitely know their stuff. With more than 40 different topics and sub-headings, the book has plenty of information. It is written in a casual, relaxed tone which makes for a fun read.

I am a little disturbed by anyone who would give it a bad review on this Amazon site. It is not an expensive book and you certainly get your $6.95 worth. It appears that some anonymous guy from Chicago keeps putting up a negative review after someone puts up a good one. He mostly likely didn't even read the book since he talks about things that aren't even in it. For example, there is no reference to picking up girls at a sporting event in the book. Did he write a competing book? Why would he keep checking the book's site to make sure that his negative review is the last one? Very strange.

Oh well, Amazon is what it is. Anyway, this book is the real deal. No disappointment for me. Happy hunting all!

5.0 out of 5 stars At least someone is telling us., February 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Guide: The Essential Resource Book For Picking Up Girls (Paperback)

Let's face it, even women at times are not sure why guys don't come up to them in bars. So why not write a funny, attitudinal book EXCLUSIVELY about picking up women, and help everyone out?

This book is an inspirational read, if nothing more than the sheer fact that it's so short and to the point. It gives you sampler lines, a mode of thought, a way to stop the crap by not even going there--i.e. her switch is off--plus that ever so important thing we all must remember: there are women out there who hang out in bars, clubs, parties, JUST so they will meet a guy who has enough confidence and verve to ask them out.

I think it floors a woman when the guy that she just smiled and doesn't come up to her. The writers of this book know that. So what if they're trying to make real men out of all of us?

The dating scene is a tough world. Let them.

The Guide is excellent. It's an invaluable tool for becoming more effective during initial interactions with girls. The book provides good, simple techniques for overcoming social anxiety and specific advice for meeting and dating women. It is clearly written, lively, and very enjoyable to read.
