5.0 out of 5 stars The best book ever written about approaching women.
Everything you ever wanted to know about meeting girls!
'How to Pick Up Girls' is a classic, and the
best book ever, on approaching women. It reveals that the
terrific girl standing in line at the bank, sitting at a
table in a cafe, or lying at the beach will almost always be
receptive to an honest and friendly advance. If she isn't,

2.0 out of 5 stars Grossly Outdated
This book is very much out of date. Most of the recommendations Weber makes would land you in court on sexual harassment charges. However, it would be a good reference for historical research since it was originally published in 1970!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book ever written about approaching women., September 10, 1996

This review is from: How to Pick Up Girls: Discover Exactly How to Meet Beautiful Women. In Bars, Buses, Trains -- Even on the Street! The Fool Proof Guide to Meeting Women Without a Formal Introduction (Paperback)
Everything you ever wanted to know about meeting girls!
'How to Pick Up Girls' is a classic, and the
best book ever, on approaching women. It reveals that the
terrific girl standing in line at the bank, sitting at a
table in a cafe, or lying at the beach will almost always be
receptive to an honest and friendly advance. If she isn't,
it could be for reasons that have nothing to do with you.
Even if they do, the worst thing to do is let it disqualify
you from this exciting and rewarding activity. There are
plenty of other great girls who will appreciate your efforts, and
be grateful to you for turning what might have been a dull
time into a very special moment.

This gem of a book is based on interviews with a wide variety
of fabulous women, as well as Eric Weber's remarkable
girl-meeting perceptions, observations, and strategies. A well
written and enjoyable read, 'How to Pick Up Girls' has yet
to have any other work on the subject come close. Definitely
three thumbs up for this one! - review by Jason Evans

5.0 out of 5 stars This was the first real book on picking up women, April 14, 2007
This review is from: How to Pick Up Girls: Discover Exactly How to Meet Beautiful Women. In Bars, Buses, Trains -- Even on the Street! The Fool Proof Guide to Meeting Women Without a Formal Introduction (Paperback)
...or at least the first one I ever saw. I think I was eleven when I first saw the full page ad in the back of some magazine for this book. It was like "Pick Up Girls! Get dates, blah blah... but it was pure magic on me. I read that ad three or four times over the next week while scrounging up the money for the book (I think my copy was something like 15 bucks, but that was a long time ago).

I enjoyed that book then, and I am happy that I read it when I did. It was great common sense in a world where learning how to meet women casually is just not taught in schools. sure **now** we have a glut of books on how to meet women (I myself have been guilty of penning a few), and I would recommend that you read ALL of them, even though some are truly horrible. You see, you really need to see what works for you - after all, ALL that matters is that YOU get dates, right? I don't care if you read my books, or Eric's books, Mystery's books, Ross's books - just as long as you start getting what YOU NEED on a regular basis. Books are cheap. And they are a LOT cheaper than mistakes.

What I can barely remember about this book is that it was fun to read and exciting. The fact that Eric has sold over 2 MILLION copies is proof that this book can hold its own with the best of them. By the way, this book does not advocate degrading women and beating them down just so they will like you. There are more than enough books like that - and the first one (I believe the original, but I may be wrong) is F.J. Shark's How to Be the Jerk Women Love written waay back in the early 90's. The one copy on Amazon ($125 - very overpriced) has a new cover. Ross Jeffries may still sell Shark's book. But the bottom line is that THIS book is worth picking up - and using. It work, and a ,lot of what you read in other books CAME FROM THIS BOOK. That is what happens when you sell 2 million copies. Remember to keep reading everything you can get your hands on and try new things, but add this to your collection if you can find a reasonably priced copy, as it is truly a classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great prop!, November 28, 1998
This review is from: How to Pick Up Girls: Discover Exactly How to Meet Beautiful Women. In Bars, Buses, Trains -- Even on the Street! The Fool Proof Guide to Meeting Women Without a Formal Introduction (Paperback)
This book, though the lines are somewhat dated and absurd, makes a great prop and ice-breaker out and about in the community. Just pretend you're reading it on the bus so the title is visible, then smile slyly at the babe who's checking out the title from the opposite seat. If she smiles, it's up to you.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 STARS FOR BEING SO DARN FUNNY!, January 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Pick Up Girls: Discover Exactly How to Meet Beautiful Women. In Bars, Buses, Trains -- Even on the Street! The Fool Proof Guide to Meeting Women Without a Formal Introduction (Paperback)
I came across this book recently at a thrift store and I had to purchase it just because it looked really cheesy! I figured for 25 cents it was worth it just to see what it was all about. The copy I have is the original one from the 1970's. Being a woman born in that decade it was really humurous to see what women and men thought about "picking up chicks". The book is way outdated but is worth the buy if for nothing else than a good laugh and a coffee table conversation piece.

1.0 out of 5 stars Shameful, December 26, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Pick Up Girls: Discover Exactly How to Meet Beautiful Women. In Bars, Buses, Trains -- Even on the Street! The Fool Proof Guide to Meeting Women Without a Formal Introduction (Paperback)
Shamefully takes advantage of shy lonely men. Everything in this book is obvious--and if you could do what he suggests you wouldn't need the book in the first place.
