Good information about such things as hygiene and manners, which according to women I've dated are far from uniformly decent among men. Good points about women having fantasies and wanting men, truths which some men's experience may cause them to forget. Magnificent sex techniques. An admirably upbeat "you-can-do-it" tone throughout.

Given that, it has problems. A former consort to Henry Miller is not a representative woman. If more of her peers were as horny and adventuresome as her, the dating game would be vastly easier for those of us who are simply wonderful people, not movie directors, professional baseball players, or fantastically confident and frustration-tolerant men in their twenties. I would like to give two dozen similarly dazzling women with more mainstream attitutes some truth serum and ask them where they ACTUALLY met their boyfriends and what characteristics they ACTUALLY had that they loved. Now THAT would make a good book on seduction!

If you are not very adept at meeting and attracting women, this is a bible for grooming and conduct. Some of the tips have limited applicability (unless you also run in the author's monied circles), but I cannot say that she is wrong in anything she suggests. From specific hygiene suggestions to dining how-to's, this book covers a lot of ground. My single complaint is the "I am speaking for all women" tone, and the overuse of exclamation marks. This my just be my pet peeve...

I was utterly disappointed with this book. Brenda Venus (who has no qualifications whatsoever to write a book like this) somehow conned her publisher into publishing a book that did little more than outline what she likes in a guy. There is nothing of value in this book. I'm not sure what the other reviewers were referring to when they gave this book high ratings, but it couldn't have been this one. Believe me, this one is a stinker!!

This book talks about simple things and explains why they work - like why a simple self-introduction is better than stupid pick-up lines.
I learned a lot from this book and has been happily married for 3 years, I was horrified to find it has such poor reviews - it works! Thanks Brenda!

But this book for your man. It will teach him just what to do. He WABTS to please you, but you do not come with an instruction manual, THIS book is your instruction manual!

Before reading this book I was hopeless with the ladies. But after learning the secrets of putting on deoderant and shampooing my hair, I am quite the Reverend Dinshaw. I have managed to seduce someone with who is very hot indeed! Not the "Ideal Ida" which Ms Venus describes. But no two women are alike, and I can't hope for such perfection as Ida, but I found someone close. However! I am absconding with her to my mountainous New Mexican retreat, where we will no doubt enjoy romantic rose-petal strewn evenings. And I will not just pull down my pants and show my tool in public, or at least not until the second date. Ha ha. So, in summery, I have to hand it to Brenda Venus for teaching me the ins and outs of having a way with the ladies -- and by the way, I have had many outs before!
