1.0 out of 5 stars shallow, without serious substance, April 29, 1999

This review is from: How to Be Irresistible to the Opposite Sex: The Art of Dating, Mating, Long Term Relating (Paperback)

I've read through a number of relationship books, and each of them offer something unique or interesting to improve your life. However, this book really takes the cake in not offering anything of substance. Many of the chapters rehash advice that are obvious even to "novices," such as "look your best; wear good clothes" or "be confident." It would be another thing if she expounded on these common topics, but she doesn't. There are tons of self-promotions to other products from her company, which is fine in moderation but feels sleazy in mass quantities. Even more incredulous to me is that many of the chapters are just Top 10 lists, including a Worst 10 Pickup Lines!

I was hoping for a serious relationship book and not a joke book. If you want a laugh, maybe you can enjoy this book. If you want serious advice, don't look here. I'm sure the author has the best intentions and is a great person, but I can't recommend this particular book in any way.

However, I do highly recommend other books as alternatives such as "How to Make Anyone Fall in Love With You" by Leil Lowndes, "Dating for Dummies" by Joy Browne (don't be put off by the title), and "If I'm So Wonderful, Why Am I Still Single?" by Susan Page.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly Humorous and Practical !, May 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Be Irresistible to the Opposite Sex: The Art of Dating, Mating, Long Term Relating (Paperback)

I was suffering from dating burnout when I picked up this book. Sure, there were some things in here that I already knew and somethings I didn't have a clue about, but it was so funny that it made me lighten up. I was getting too serious about finding a "relationship", way too serious. I found out that women love men who read relationship books. When I told a few of them that I was reading this book about being "Irresistible" they said that the mere fact that I'm the kind of guy who wants to improve in this area makes me more irresistible. I admit that at first I thought some of the flirting techniques were "hokey" until a friend of mine dared me to use them! Boy, Was I surprised!!! He lost his bet. This authors approach worked almost every time. So I decided to re-read and use the book, practice figuring out a woman's love strategy, used other flirting approached, and I called the authors number to get secret #10 (Apparently she wants to see if people are really using the book.) She'll mail you Secret #10 and a newsletter. My new girlfriend and I (Yes, I said new girlfriend!) She loved line #10 on page 70, even though she later found out it came from a rel. book. Anyway, we just completed the compatibility form on page 159, I was nervous about doing it and finding out that we were all wrong for each other, but was delighted to have her rate me so high! Guess there is potential in this relationship. Don't just read this book for the humor--share it, use it and do what it says!

5.0 out of 5 stars Want YOUR guy to read a relationship book, this is the ONE!, December 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Be Irresistible to the Opposite Sex: The Art of Dating, Mating, Long Term Relating (Paperback)

When you haven't been dating in while, you have to do something! This book gave me the courage to go back out there and give relationships another chance. Most of the books out there are negative towards men. I don't hesitate to show this book to women I am seeing. If they don't want to read it, that tells me something. I don't waste time with women who don't want to learn and grow. If they won't read an easy, humorous but insightful book like this, then they probably won't want to deal with other real life issues. Most women are thrilled to find a guy who takes the time to read a relationship book and share it with them. I'm a believer. I don't have a lot of time to read, and this book made it easy for me to read and re-read and get the results. Simply Effective! Whenever my friends complain about their lovelife, I give them a copy of this book. My buddy's house got robbed and they even took his copy of How to be Irresistible! Ladies, if you want a book that us guys will want to read and use...this is the one.
