Same authors, different pen names.,
By Ludvig Prutus (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rules for Getting Laid (The Rules for Life Series) (Paperback)
Imagine you are Ron Louis and David Copeland. You have written the book "How to Succeed With Women." Now you want to make more money. So you write a contracted version of the first book and publish it under another name.In this book (The Rules FGL), the authors provide an email address for questions--they promise personal answers. I wrote them. I got an answer from RonL at howtosucceedwithwomen.com! What a scam. I also got automatically added to their mailing list, and got no personal answer! The book is okay, but contains almost the same information as "How To Succeed With Women," but lots less detail.

Thanks for writing this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rules for Getting Laid (The Rules for Life Series) (Paperback)
Yes, I have read other books on this topic and rarely found much value. To start, I am 42 and live in Chicago. I have been divorced for six years and have spent the past few years getting more and more depressed. I have gone long periods with out dating and even longer without sex. I work in the computer field and am in pretty good shape and make a decent income. I just have been really stopped when it comes to meeting women.Last year I began buying the other books and tapes out there on dating. I mainly felt ripped off. I would buy a book and try the faulty techniques and usually end up more frustrated than when I started. At one point I used one of those "language patterns" and had a woman slap me and dump a beer on my lap. Three months ago I bought the Rules for Getting Laid and this book has been the catalyst I have been waiting for. I have been waiting for some decent advice that I can actually put into place. I have been waiting for a rational approach to meet women. More importantly I have been waiting a long time to read a book that will tell me the principals of being a man's man. The principals of being confident and the approach that Graff teaches really has made an impact in my approach. I can easily say that I have had more success in the past two months that I have for six years of lonliness. I am now dating three women and have gone out on 16 dates over the past three months. I have transformed my ability to be rejected and still keep going. I can now approach several women per day and not get totally depressed when they reject me. The princials in this book are worth reading over and over and over again, and I do.

Gee guys, thanks for the tips...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rules for Getting Laid (The Rules for Life Series) (Paperback)
I've looked at a few different books hoping to boost my own confidence in dealing with the singles scene, and the advice here is truly unique and authoritative. Who could argue with such sage advice as "Treat women like they are special," "Don't Fart," "Don't Rape Women (because you could go to jail)," "Never Hit a Woman." These are very wise words, things I'd never considered. "Don't Rape Women" (...how insightful). "Don't Fart" (...has that been the problem??!!)? With this kind of stellar guidance it's a wonder every man who reads it isn't swamped in good-smelling, legal sex. Further, it is obvious that the authors were incredibly dedicated to their studies judging from the fact that they didn't waste any of their research funds on little things like copy-editors or proofers. What's a little typo here and there when a man can expand his mind so fully. Gee guys, thanks for the tips. They were really, really helpful, really.

Pass judgement AFTER you read the book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rules for Getting Laid (The Rules for Life Series) (Paperback)
Don't let the cover and the title fool you. I got this book as a present. Last Wednesday I had a couple of hours to kill, I figure what the hell, I could probably use a good chuckle. The more I read, the more I liked and understood. This isn't a juvenile Beavis & Butthead how to score with chicks type of book. This book is NOT about lying, cheating, psychological manoeuvering, manipulating or exploiting women in any way. Instead, it's about salesmanship, self respect and self improvement. It's about salesmanship, when you have a great product (YOU :) ), you don't just tell one person about it or only try to sell it to one person. You present yourself to many women, the law of averages dictates that a certain percentage of those women will like you enough to want to sleep with you. It's about self respect, not begging, not grovelling for sex, but maintaining your own dignity, pride, composure and self respect regardless of the outcome of your encounters with women. It's about self improvement. There are certain qualities which women find attractive. By maximizing those qualities, you also maximize your chances. This book just drives that point home. The authors says never to let anyone know you're reading the book, so, this will be an anonymous review. Buy this book, you truly will not regret it.

good book...if you dont like to read very much,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rules for Getting Laid (The Rules for Life Series) (Paperback)
While the advice in this book is not bad advice it still is not a massive amount of useful information. While reading this book I couldnt help but wonder if these guys had just finished reading "How to Succeed With Women" by Ron Louis and David Copeland and decided to write a book. Nearly all of their vague stories were exactly the same as what is found in "How to Succeed With Women" and if you purchase "The Rules for Getting Laid" you will find that the two books contain the exact same, even word for word information in most cases. My advice is to buy "How to Succeed With Women" instead because it is longer, contains more information, and explains everything. Only buy this book if you want to review the main points of "How to Succeed With Women".

I wish I'd had this years ago!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rules for Getting Laid (The Rules for Life Series) (Paperback)
This book rocks! I can't believe how useful it's been to me--or some of the errors I've been making in trying to seduce women. For so long it seems like if I was able to get in front of women, I wouldn't know what to say--but that wasn't a problem because I couldn't get in front of women anyway! This book helped me both get in front of more attractive women, and also gave me help in knowing what to say and knowing how to behave. The book is really inspiring--the authors talk about being a "man's man," who makes life work for him and who doesn't sell out to women--which is something I can see I've been doing. Now that I'm not selling out and groveling to women, I'm actually a lot more attractive to them--surprise! I can say that this book has made a big difference for me, if only because I'm not being women's doormat anymore, and that they told me exactly HOW to not be their doormats. This has really re-charged my dating life after a long dry spell. This book is obnoxious and may not be for everybody, but it really was just what I needed to get me started and doing the right stuff.

Very helpful and to the point,
By Roger Janis (Tacoma, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rules for Getting Laid (The Rules for Life Series) (Paperback)
This book is really powerful in its information and the writing style of Graff and Schwartz. I loved the book, the rules were very useful for me in my situation. I think that this book is one of the best out there on dating for men. I have read some of the others and they did not provide as much useful information as this one. The authors are also very funny in their writing style. It was as if the authors were right there talking to me, egging me on. This book reminds me more of a philosophy book or a book of bottom line philosophy than dating. Many of their views are applicable to all men, not just those looking to date. I appreciate the effort and look forward to buying anything else they put out. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy.

A helpful guide,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Rules for Getting Laid (The Rules for Life Series) (Paperback)
This is a very readable book. I find it helpful at times when my dating life is not up the high standards I have set. The authors make you feel as it they are talking directly to you, which is a big plus. Probably the biggest lesson I got out of the book is to expect flakiness from women, and not take it too personally or seriously. Of course there comes a time when you have to move on if a woman is not giving some reasonably positive vibes, but The Rules teaches a bit more patience than is natural for a lot of guys (such as when you don't get return phone calls).

Great title, disappointing book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rules for Getting Laid (The Rules for Life Series) (Paperback)
This is a thin book with large print. After reading it, Isuspect the authors are weedy, passive, unattractive males who read acouple of books and compared experiences with their similar friends, and compiled the best tips they could come up with into this book, and along the way they may have lifted their success rate with women from abysmal up into the lower end of normal. Nevertheless it could still be a worthwhile reference for many men, particularly if they fit that mould. My biggest gripe is the authors try to misrepresent themselves as experts in these matters, and grandstand over men who are even lower down the social scale than themselves. How do I know they're not experts? Because they have left out certain basic pieces of advice, they fail to explain why certain important techniques work, there is some dubious and misleading advice, there are no advanced techniques in the book, and their real life examples are generally pathetic.

There is a much better book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rules for Getting Laid (The Rules for Life Series) (Paperback)
This book was a COMPLETE waste. It is a rip-off of "How to Succeed with Women. That is a much better book. There is no information anyone can really apply in "the Rules for Getting Laid". It just has some basic priciples. This book is arranged like a list of Rules. For example, Rule one: Be confident with women - then a short anecdote about why confidence is good follows. This book is honesly and truely a complely plagerized summary of "How to Succeed with Women". That book is very good. I learned a great deal from that book and improved my successes with women tremendously. There is no additional information in "Rules for getting Laid". Zero. In fact, there are direct quotes from the "How to Succeed with Women" book all over. The "Rules for Getting Laid" book is a rip-off. If you want examples, practical applications, and thoroughness, buy How to Succeed with Women. |
