Forget the Mystery Method and that other PUA stuff and get back to common sense!, March 5, 2008
This review is from: Understanding Women: The Definitive Guide to Meeting, Dating and Dumping, if Necessary (Paperback)
About a year ago, I began reading various pick-up artist material, including Neil Strauss' The Game, The Mystery Method by Mystery, and From the Bar to the Bedroom by the editors of AskMen.com. The information in those books was quite useful, but I felt the material that pick-up artists use didn't fit my personality. I tried using that material on a few ladies, and it seemed so unnatural and uncomfortable to me. I successfully creeped out a few of them. I felt like an actor reading from a horrible script. Plus, don't get me started on "the seven hour rule." Sex happens when she wants it to happen. You can't force it on her.
Every guy is different. He must use the strengths in his personality to become successful with women. What I like about this book is that tells you what not to do, what to do, what is going through her mind, and what she expects you to do. All you need to have is a decent personality, and the information in the book will guide you the rest of the way.
The book is nothing more than common sense that guys tend to overlook. The chapters are short and to the point. I read the whole thing in about two hours. By the way, she is hilarious but right, sadly.
If you had a bad role model growing up or your dad taught you absolutely nothing about women, I strongly suggest this book and only this book. It's all you really need. Please, don't buy into the whole PUA thing. The next book you should buy should be on tantric sex.

Good, sensible advice for the average guy, May 5, 2005
This review is from: Understanding Women: The Definitive Guide to Meeting, Dating and Dumping, if Necessary (Paperback)
This book is good for the average guy. I have referred back to this book a couple of times just to remind myself of some of the basics. The book does a good job of covering many basic topics from what to wear, talking to women, treating women, how to act. The good thing is the author doesn't try to make you do outlandish things like other books tell you. The other helpful thing about the book is that the book is short and gets to the point very quickly.

Get yourself a girlfiend! Worked for me! Thank's Romy., February 5, 2006
This review is from: Understanding Women: The Definitive Guide to Meeting, Dating and Dumping, if Necessary (Paperback)
Lonely guy? Read this book, and re-read it. This book is concise common sense instruction on meeting, dating, etc. Easy to read.
Romy Miller writes with an intensity and fervor to teach the readers how to meet women, look sharp, and have an intimate relationship. For whatever reasons, many men of the world really need to read this book to get their heads together.
I've re-read it about 3 times, and I get more out of it, everytime.
And, most importantly, over the last year since I started reading this book, the number of unfamiliar women I've approached and dated has escalated, and I feel like I know what I'm looking for, now and I feel like I'm on my way to meeting the one, if I'm not currently dating her.
This book isn't a guide to seduction. The author's recommendations are for starting relationships, not quick trysts, though trysts are covered. The book covers maturity with simple statements that make you think about where you're going with all this.
