5.0 out of 5 stars
Notice how the gradings are pretty much 5s or 1s?,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Succeed With Women (Paperback)
Either you get this book, and love it... or you don't and hate it.Those who gave it 1s were expecting a book with one liners and trickery. THIS IS NOT THAT KIND OF BOOK. This book offers insight and an explanation (hypotheses) into why some things work and some don't by giving insight into the woman's mind. It's like cooking... there are some books that give recipes that will tell you step by step on how to make a dish... what ingredients and how much. But if you TRULY want to become a chef, you will need to know why certain ingredients work and how they work. Some people can pick up this insight by themselves by experimenting with the ingredients, but others don't. This provides insight into those who haven't been able to pick up the insights themelves. I guess you can compare this book to the differences between a college education and a university education. A community college teaches what to do and how to do it. But a university education provides the theory and explanations into why things work. So if you're looking for one liners and tricks, try a different book. But if you want insights into women, this is it. PS, it's not that difficult to read. Those who found it difficult or considered it psychobabbled probably only have a grade 10 education.

A lot promised, little delivered,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Succeed With Women (Paperback)
This book promised to give a lot of insight on how to succed with women. I was cruelly disppointed. Most of the sentences begin with "you will be able to...", "you will learn how to...", but you never actually see what is being promised. You get half way the book and the author is still promising what you "will learn". There is little practical examples, the style is very cryptic and hard to understand what the author really means, and the examples are so unrealistic.... I'm not sure the author himself understands what he meant.If you're looking for a book to help you understand women, be able to make that first move that opens the conversation, not be left alone in the corner in a party or a bar, don't waste your money on this book.

Do not confuse with the other book of same title,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Succeed With Women (Paperback)
This book should not be confused with another book of the same title written by Ron Lewis and David Copeland which is the best and most practical book on the subject in print. This book is not only vague and impractical, it is full of broken syntax which makes it a headache to read. I assume that all or most of the praises this book has collected was posted by mistake. It is the other book that should get the praises.

No substance whatsoever,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Succeed With Women (Paperback)
I don't know how this book got so many five-star ratings. Did I read the same book? It has no substance whatsoever. It is all some spiritual babble-speak. Here is a typical paragraph:"When a woman is drawn to a man it is because she wants to experiance the male voice of the universe. She is aware of this. She is very much in touch with herself as the female voice and tends to assume that you have a parallel awareness of yourself. A man's inner experience is to feel the might and majesty of the universe. Women know that too and their highest wish for you is to draw your power through the veil of their outer form to their inner subjective world." If that helps you with dating, then buy the book. Otherwise, you are much better off with another book with the exact same title.

what a bunch of slop!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How To Succeed With Women (Paperback)
This book bites the big one. A bunch of psycobabble junk. Like a cheap John Gray knockoff. At least John Gray is interesting. For a real dating book, try The Passive Man's Guide to Seduction.

Not my kind of book,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Succeed With Women (Paperback)
I found the language very vague and the ideas difficult to follow. As a result, I gleaned only a rudimentary understanding of what the author was trying to say. Frankly, part of me suspects the author concocted a lot of pseudo-metaphysical jargon to disguise the shallowness of his message. I have no problem with ethereal concepts but I prefer straightforward language, and at least an attempt to describe the concepts as specifically as one might describe an orange or a goat. But it seems that this kind of language speaks to many people...so if youre that kind of person, this book might be just what you need. Like most guys, I'm interested enough in getting chix that I will read numerous books on the subject, just for the exposure. And in that respect I guess this book was worth buying and reading. Other than that I can't say whether this book is really any good. I can only say I won't be using it.

A major find. Nothing else like it.,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Succeed With Women (Paperback)
This book is like an easy to read road map of success. It spells out what women want from men and how to deliver it. The exercises help a lot. The author urges the reader to do them and they work. They quickly built up in me the replies to women that work well and I keep getting better at it. This is a really different kind of book. It is not about lines or methods. It's insight into what women want emotionally and why I already have it. The issue is to get it out in the open and the author does a good job of showing how to do that. I have not seen anything like this before. I tried the Louis and Copeland stuff and couldn't see how to use it when I have a real interest in a woman as a person. Meleton's book made me laugh but didn't tell me enough about what women really want. Badalamenti's book is something to read over and over again. It's a gem of a work on how to connect with women

Do not buy this book: save you money,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Succeed With Women (Paperback)
Yea, like the other guys I bought this book along with some of the other dating guides and really got burned. I really hoped Anthony would deliver the goods, but this book really was Un-helpful. I have read other books and at least learned something new, but this book was really stupid. Have you ever noticed that people with Ph.D.'s can often be the biggest idiots? This guy with all his macho bravo probably couldn't get a woman if someone put a gun to his head. I really wish I could get my money back for this book. Save your money and buy some of the other books out there like Don Steele or Graff.

Well grounded, a solid piece of work,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Succeed With Women (Paperback)
It's about time someone wrote a book for men on what women really want. This is a good piece of work that comes from science and experience. It makes sense of my successes and shortfalls with women and has done a great deal to show me how to do better. I like the book's high regard for women, for love and for relationships. It's a quick read but it is solid and it helped me do better. I recommend it.

Worth the read if you want to meet women!,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Succeed With Women (Paperback)
As co-author of another book by this title, I'm happy to tell you that Dr. Badalamenti's book is worth a read. Intelligent and thoughtful, I think you'll get insights that are worth having in your continuing quest for women. Don't just read one thing--keep expanding your education about women! This author says something worth hearing.
