Mediocre,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Talk to Women (Paperback)
Unlike their other book, this book is actually worth reading (although there are easily a dozen other books I would recommend before this one) for basic information on how to strike up conversations with women. Unfortunately, Louis and Copeland are pretty much the stereotypical AFC's (Average Frustrated Chumps) and their techniques reflect that. They don't understand the insane mindset of women, their behavior or what is necessary to get what you want from them without becoming a victim of some of their more obnoxious problem behavior. They certainly don't understand the 1% rule and the dramatic implications this has for ANY methods you use to relate to women. However, this book does offer some insight into the fine art of actually starting a conversation with a woman. But, if you don't know how to choose the right woman, or worse, you don't know what to do after the first 30 seconds covered by this book.....if you don't know how to foster attraction and also give women a socially appropriate excuse to spend time with you......this will be nothing short of an exercise in repeated rejection and failure. Want a better outcome? Check out the works of David DeAngelo, R Don Steele, Tony Wood, Roy Valentine and John Fate.

Very helpful book!,
By "donaldgos" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Talk to Women (Paperback)
I have their other book, "How To Succeed with Women," as well as their CDs for shy men, and I've found Louis and Copeland to be really great. They have integrity, and helped me get at the deeper issues that stopped me from talking to the girls i meet. They didn't just give me some line to try, which I never would have done anyway.The only real problem I had with "How to Succeed with Women" was that it didn't tell how to talk to women (at least, not much). This new book does, and it's really comprehensive. I've gone from having nothing to say to women to being a guy women actually want to go out with! That may not seem like much to you, but I really have been totally shy in the past, and this, along with their "How to Stop being Shy" CDs really have made a difference. I'm getting where I want to go. Thanks Ron and David!

It was just OK,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Talk to Women (Paperback)
Their previous book, How To Succeed with Women, was great. It covered everything, including how to talk to women. This book briefly covers some of the topics from How to Succeed with Women and then goes into detail about talking with women. This book is great as it encourages one to flirt with women by joking around with "creative misinterpretations". Of all the advice they give you, however, once you actually go up to the girl and talk, they tell you to not think about anything you have learned and just concentrate on the conversation. This makes it really hard to incorporate anything you have learned into real life conversations....All in all, the book mainly focuses on how to joke around with women, how to find out what women are passionate about. and how to turn a conversation into a romantic one (but by my experience this last thing causes you to sound immature and perverted). If you read this book, you are guaranteed to learn a few things...

To all the doubters(yet again).......,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Talk to Women (Paperback)
Whoever just doesn't "get it" about what these men are talking about, I really really feel sorry for you and I think you need your head examined. To every other man who wants to make there life work for them, do yourself a favor and get this book as well as "How to succeed with women". I personally am above average in looks and even I still have to play the numbers game. If I don't and one of my prospects decides that she doesn't really want a date guess what? It becomes a big deal and I mope about it. If I play the numbers game, then eventually(more often than not) I get a date(even in this barren wasteland of women who "hate guys in the Navy"). Furthermore, by flirting with tons of gorgeous women I feel physically renewed and it is so much fun wether I get a dirty look or a smile and a laugh! When I have said "hi" to thirty or more women a day(which is not just for the sake of saying "hi" but making initiating contact with women second nature, gee no s#@t sherlock), it naturally has led into me flirting with them following these guidelines. Like I said in my review on the other book, to the people who are unwilling to honestly try these techniques, if you are going to live your life that way then you have bigger problems than being able to successfully seduce women and become a "true pimp:)". If you have the desire to achieve a level of success with women that was only possible in your dreams, then step up to bat and put in the time and go get the woman of your dreams!!!

No smoke,
This review is from: How to Talk to Women (Paperback)
I have to admit that this book has some good advices for "nice guys" who don't get it. However, out of the 315 pages of this book, I would say only 50 pages are worth reading. The rest of the book is either repeated information or all common sense stuff. When I bought this book, I expected to see more practical examples that I can actually use in real life. But I was really disappointed that the few examples in the book are nothing special. I have a feeling that the authors are only good writers and researchers who did a good job in summarizing information about this subject from different sources and make it a book. But they are not true experts in this field. The thing they present in the book doesn't seem like the lessons from their real life experience. I wish I know them personally and see how sucessful they are in attracting women.

Please don't buy this garbage!,
By Eric (Denver) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Talk to Women (Paperback)
Guys unless you are completely clueless,PLEASE don't waste your time and money on this book.To say it is horrible is an understatement. Their advice is so vague and repetitive at times it is [sad.]BR>The things they do recommend to say to start a conversation are so bad that most women would laugh in your face.For instance they make a big thing out of asking women"what is up with that"?(some item they are wearing,etc). Women see right through this kind of [stuff.]BR>Then they talk about the "goodbye introduction",were you are supposed to tell a woman you are leaving(when you meet someone in public)and the examples are a joke. They also talk about how dating is a numbers game(repeatedly),and well this is true,I think they do it because they realize their...advice [smells],and you will look foolish often. If you want something to laugh at then buy this book,but if you want serious advice on dating,and approaching women,skip this one.

A Very Entertaining Book!,
This review is from: How to Talk to Women (Paperback)
I'll say it again, this book was very entertaining. It really is aimed towards men that are completely shy around women, and it focuses alot on building that confidence and just getting you to talk to them be it the slightest thing. Honestly I enjoyed reading the book because it was pretty funny and entertaining to read, but would I take it seriously? NO! not at all. The book itself isn't helpful with real scenarios with women, nor does it really give any advice. The book is really just about "breaking the ice." It's shallow and it doesn't go indepth enough at all to be taken seriously. To be honest the best advice you can get on women, is a book written for men by a woman. Those are the books you should be reading and for the most part the ones I found most helpful and understanding. I brought this book for a few pointers with a girl I was interested in and I didn't want to screw up. The book wasn't helpful there was nothing I didn't know I thought was actually romotely with trying. This book is really just common sense, and unless your completely a social invert and live in a bubble, you probably don't need it. Matter of fact I can save you your money and tell you the only important thing in this book. "Your always risking with women, you have to take the risk." Which is the only thing that was actually truthful. All women are different and you have to atleast make an attempt and try. Either you'll suceed or fail. As long as you try you've learned something. Honestly it's not really any sort of dating advice, it's just LOGIC.

One of the better modern books on the market to help guys.,
By StraightRazr.com: A Comprehensive Lifestyle C... (Oakland, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Talk to Women (Paperback)
This book addresses in great detail how men can best interact with women - from the introduction stage through dating and follow through.
Much more than 'talking,' the book offers terrific insights for men to understand the weight of words, and how the right inflection at just the right time can make all the difference. - Razr

I feel a little foolish by using this material,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Talk to Women (Paperback)
I have most of their products. Overcome the nice guy its a good one if you are a shy guy. And how to be the bad boy women love is much much better than this one. In this book i feel like an uncool guy trying to be ridiculous romantic to seduce much younger women. I dont know if this will work - i will give it some tries and if i see good results i will rewrite my review with better rate. But by first glance this book is mediocre.
