by R. Don Steele (Author), E. F. Bellevue (Editor)

Editorial Reviews

Review
Steele pulls no punches as he explains how to attract the young, from dress codes to actions. The honest approach and advice are unusually solid and explicit, from sex and the young woman to analysis of her real motivation to step-by-step courting scenarios, with emphasis on strategy based on understanding. Men interested in a no-holds-barred approach will find this book unique, one of the most refreshing guides available. Women not involved in defining chauvinist behavior will learn a lot, too. -- Diane Donovan, Chicago Tribune, July 18, 1992

Product Description
224 pages of realistic methods and sound advice from a man who has dated young women for the past 25 years. You're going to know what she has to offer and what you absolutely cannot expect from her. You will end up knowing what it really takes for a fortyish man to date a twentyish woman. Steele's experiences are here for you to learn from, good ones, funny ones and horror stories. When done reading you'll avoid many of the mistakes he made as you learn the complex, delicate rituals and courtship practices insisted upon by a young woman interested in an older man.

1.0 out of 5 stars 19% Success With Promiscous, Bisexual Smokers. Not 4 Me!, February 10, 2001

By A Customer

Only the most inept and inexperienced males will be impressed by this guy, whatever his real name is (has been confirmed that it is not R. Don Steele). This guy's biggest problems are his suffocatingly dominant personality and the fact that the younger woman he married is fat. Plenty of dudes who never read his stuff have mated with fat girls. This guy writes that the overwhelming majority of his past conquests were bisexual smokers who really got around. And the author's behavior in some online groups cast doubt on his honesty regarding exactly how many young girls he actually dated. Vol. 2 has a horrifingly igonorant chapter on AIDS that could prove deadly. Vol. 2 is an overproced continuation of Vol. 1, nothing new. Occasionally this guy mentions his training under Nathaniel Branden, Branden has gone on record completely distancing himself from "Steele" (not his real name) and these spophomoric works. The last this guy could have done is get a college student to make his stuff readable. Avoid at all costs.

1.0 out of 5 stars Senior Citizen Dating Guru, John White (Steele), August 21, 2001

By A Customer

Born before the attack on Pearl Harbor, this old-timer turned 18 when Eisenhower was President. John White, who writes under the name of R. Don Steele, should stick to his prunes and oatmeal instead of handing out hilariously outdated advice. Stuff like "a man is in control because he pays for the date" is not only wrong, it shows how his dating ideas were formed in the 1950s. In the first two pages of Vol. 1 he begins a familiar practice of ridiculing African-Americans and how they speak (he disrespected several minority groups in a Jan. 2000 LA New Times interview), yet we are supposed to believe he had a hot and heavy fling with an African-American female young enough to be his daughter. Later in Vol. 1, he lists certain youthful females an older man should not attempt to date, John White (Steele) would have you chase after relatively unattractive, uneducated, bisexual, flat-chested girls. White (Steele) repeatedly asserts how a woman is not really an emotionally mature until she is 30. No one else makes such a silly observation. White (Steele) would have his followers lead a peculiarly joyless existence of hitting on coffeshop waitresses and trailer park trolls. Please do not let the relative scarcity of dating books written from the man's point of view to make you give this guy a look , White (Steele's) body language book is a particularly weak effort, reflecting how he has faded. Vol. 2 of his Dating Young Women series is merely a rehash of Vol.1, just an excuse to get more of your hard-earned dollars. Notice how about half of the 5 star reviews read suspiciously alike. Stay away from John White's stuff.

1.0 out of 5 stars "The truth shall set us free", March 12, 2001

By	et (Whittier, CA) - See all my reviews

Most of the five star ratings here are a HOAX, artificially boosted by the author's groupies per his instructions to his small band of followers. Steele's books I & II are essentially inferior copies of the best seller "A Man's Guide To Women," which much more clearly explains the concepts of dating women of ALL ages. "A Man's Guide To Women" was written in 1983, four years before Don Steele made his far weaker anecdotal version. Many of the lines are so close it's just TOO obvious. eg 1) p8 AMGTW: "I make myself the catch." p69 HTDYW 1: "I'm the catch here not you..." eg 2) p48 AMGTW: If a girl ever blocks advancing the relationship by saying "No let's just be friends," say, "No, I have lots of friends. See you later." p217 HTDYW 2: Just say "I have plenty of friends." And the list of parallels go on and on and on...
