1.0 out of 5 stars
waste of time and money, September 9, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Nice Guys And Players: Becoming the Man Women Want (Paperback)
Firstly this book is *very* lightweight in two respects. Its 122 pages are printed in very large type, and the writing style is juvenile. His main conceit is his use of invented personas and their stories of success and failure, all added without analysis and insight. "Ron dresses well, in casual, but smart attire and he has a good car - its a sports convertible. He works in a law firm, earns a good salary. He met Denise at a party and they hit it off. They dated for a while, but then she left him". Truly kindergarten stuff. He focuses a great deal of the book on defining 4 types of men (which he lifted from somewhere else) and goes on about their plus points and negative points. His lack of actual content is glaringly revealed about two-thirds in when he rehashes his definition of these four types in order to pad out this meagre offering. The focus of this book is totally on the "what" with practically nothing of insight at all on the "how". And half of the "what" points he makes are dubious to say the least. To anyone interested, here is the complete advice that Rom gives:
1- dress smart
2- work out
3- be clean
4- read some non-fiction
5- be confident
6- be honest
7- errr that's it

I NEEDED THIS, March 10, 2005
This review is from: Nice Guys And Players: Becoming the Man Women Want (Paperback)
I always knew I was a 'nice guy', and my relationships have always ended with the woman I love saying...'I love you, but I don't want to BE with you anymore...but we can be best friends.' I've not even finished this book yet, but seeing in print what I've know deep down all along has already given me the strength to take control of my life back from these women. It hit me like a lightning bolt. I'm a kind person at heart, and always felt like I would be 'playing games' if I didn't just do what came naturally. What I realize now is, being true to what I want, and being assertive is not a game. It's empowering, and I feel better about myself already. I will always be kind, but I'll never allow myself to be taken advantage of again!

Changed my Life, March 21, 2001
This review is from: Nice Guys And Players: Becoming the Man Women Want (Paperback)
I bought this book from the author back in September. I have to say it changed my life. Before reading this book my dating life was hit and miss with more of an emphasis on miss. I always heard that old line,"You're such a Nice Guy but..." All that changed after I bought Rom's book. He told me, "This book will change your life." So I read it and the after following Rom's advice...WOW! In a few short months I went from a man who barely got the time of day to having very beautiful women ask me out! I've read other books on how to pick up women but the difference with Nice Guys and Players is that I found out how to draw women to me. No pick-up lines. No hypnosis. I don't have to be a jerk. With a few changes I became a babe magnet. I e-mailed Rom Wills a couple of weeks ago to tell him about the changes. He said the following: "You're just at the beginning young apprentice. Follow my words to the letter and you get to point where you can attract women no matter what you are wearing, without spending money, and without saying a word. You must, however, follow my words to the letter. " I thought, "Wow, I can do even better!" I recommend this book to all men. Rom takes the luck out of the dating game and replaces it with science.
