From the Publisher

Mode One: Let The Women Know What You're REALLY Thinking by Alan Roger Currie examines The "Four Modes Of Verbal Communication" used by men in their interactions with single women.

If you've often been perceived as a "frustrated 'nice guy'" then Mode One is the book for you. You will discover how to quickly distinguish those women who have a genuine interest in you from those women who are looking to do nothing more than soak up flattering attention from you, or worse, use you for your money and manipulate you.

Also, you learn how to recognize when a woman is 'pretending' to be an "innocent, wholesome 'good girl'," but in reality is a more erotically uninhibited woman who has no problem indulging in a few episodes of casual, non-monogamous sex. Chapter Six in the book covers the concept of the "Wholesome Pretender" and the "Erotic Hypocrite."

Currie, the author, has been interviewed across the country by a number of radio stations and newspapers, and is quickly becoming one of the country's foremost authorities on dating, attraction, seduction, and interpersonal communication.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Get It! One Book Surely Worth Reading!, March 9, 2006

By 

T.J. "wannabe p.u.a." (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mode One: Let the Women Know What You're REALLY Thinking (Paperback)

If you go to to buy this book, thinking it's going to be in the Ross Jeffries, David DeAngelo, Neil Strauss genre, you're going to be disappointed. "Mode One" is not your run-of-the-mill "How To Seduce Twenty Women in Two Weeks" ebook (I only read the ebook version, but will soon purchase the paperback).

As one reviewer here already mentioned, there are no magical pick-up lines in Alan Roger Currie's book, nor are there any NLP mind tricks involved. In the same way DeAngelo markets "Cocky And Funny," Currie more so markets "Self-Assured And Straight-To-The-Point."

Alan Roger Currie has a winner here, in my opinion. #1, he states upfront that his book is not designed to create you into an overnight ladies' man or womanizing stud. He doesn't mislead you in any way. Matter of fact, he actually tells you that if you follow his principles, you will actually get rejected by women -more- than you will if you didn't follow his principles. How is that for straightforward honesty?

He divides men into four "modes" of behavior:

-> men who love to flatter women, and wine and dine them (mode 2)

-> men who love to pretend like they're only interested in platonic friendship, but actually want to get in a woman's pants (mode 3)

-> men who get angry and bitter towards the women who have previously rejected them, and disrespected them (mode 4)

-> men who let women know in the very first conversation with them what it is they want from women, and why they REALLY want to share their company (mode 1)

The book is really not so much about attraction or seduction per se, as much as it's about conquering your fear of receiving negative reactions from women. Currie's attitude is, how can you attempt to hit a home run, if you're dreadfully afraid of striking out? Currie basically says, the reactions and responses of women are under -their control-, so don't worry about them. Only worry about what -you- have control over, which is your ability to approach a woman, and let her know what is really on your mind.

My only minor criticism is that Currie should have had more "Mode One" typical scenarios like he did with modes 2, 3, and 4. Give men more specific examples of obstacles you might run into when you become a "mode one self-assured straightshooter." Maybe that will be the sequel!

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT BOOK MR. CURRIE!!!!!, March 9, 2006

By 

MARILYN S. "SINGLE & HAPPY" (STONE MOUNTAIN, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mode One: Let the Women Know What You're REALLY Thinking (Paperback)

I first heard about this book from a friend of the author who lives in the Chicago area. I was skeptical about what I thought was the issue and basis for this book, but decided to buy the book, if nothing else, out of curiosity.

My #1 criticism of this book: No way should Mr. Currie be only marketing this book to MEN!!! Women could, and should, read this book as well. A second book, for the women, should be called "MODE ONE: ASK THE MEN WHAT THEY ARE REALLY THINKING"

This is not really a book about attracting women, as some other reviewers have suggested. This is really a book about KEEPING IT REAL. The book is really about real behavior vs. phony behavior. It's about cutting through all of the b.s. conversations, and phony conversations, and getting to the REAL conversations that we all need to be having with one another.

The contents of Mr. Currie's book is just as relevant for same sex conversations, as it is for conversations between men and women. Just in the past few days, I've utilized some of Mr. Currie's principles of "mode one" behavior, and it really allows you to cut through b.s. as if you had a knife in hand.

Mr. Currie should be encouraging more women to exhibit his "mode one" behavior. For example, this guy was flirting with me just a couple of days ago, and I just straightforwardly asked him, "are you looking to get to know me, and build a relationship? or are you just looking to fu-- me as soon as possible?" He didn't know how to respond. He started fumbling over his words, and he became very flustered and inarticulate. Right then, I knew the power and essence of being "mode one" with men.

The book is well written, well organized, entertaining, and informative. Mr. Currie even has a frequently asked questions and glossary in the back. Any fan of the author Michael Baisden will soon become familiar with this new author. MODE ONE will definitely leave it's mark on many men and women in society.

Review: Mode One: Let The Women Know What You're REALLY Thinking

This last week I was asked to give my thoughts on an e-book by Alan Roger Currie called "Mode One: Let The Women Know What You're REALLY Thinking". The first thing I want to say is the break down Alan does for his 4 modes of communication is probably the best I've read about describing both powerful and weak forms of communication. I realized thru the reading of this book that I get away with saying and doing the things I do because I communicate in Alan's Mode One communication. That is the 'Self-Assured Straight shooters'.

Alan nails his description of weak communication and does a nice job describing why the other forms of communication just do not work well on women. I actually think he is too nice on the other modes of communication, but he does make a point of describing why these modes tend to push women away from 'sexual relationship' to 'platonic friend' or even the 'Eww Factor' (this is that behavior that men do that make women avoid you at all cost).

One major plus of the book is Alan's description of the types of communication that women do not respond to. He gives great examples why men slip into negative behavior and how this negatively affects their chances with women. For example, he gives a great detailed description of why telling a woman (one you actually want to date/have sex with) that you 'Just want to hang out with friends' may get you some platonic positive response, but how that will also make you weaker (since you want her and don't have the balls to tell her) and how she will run and avoid you when you do try to make your move (since she feels you lied to her about just being friends).

Now, Alan does go into what your mindset should be for 'Mode One Communication' and how this will increase your ability to communicate effectively with women and have more success. I whole-heartedly agree that this is the correct communication and wish more guys would learn it. The only slightly negative on the Mode One book is the HOW to become this type of communicator. He basically tells you to just do it, which is a form of Mode One communication in and of itself. I think some readers are going to read about this communication, wish they could do, and not change. Others of you are going to have a little light bulb go off in their head, stop trying to impress women or run game on them, and start having massive success by just communicating from the proper frame.

I've decided to start a star system with 5 stars being top, and 0 stars being the worse. As far as 'Mode One' I give it a solid 4 stars. If you're looking for pick-up lines or openers, this is not your book. If you are looking to become a stronger all around communicator this is a great place to start."
